Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 12:53:22 -0400 Message-ID: <1176137602.30046.191.camel@psmithub> From: "Paul Smith" To: Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Reply-To: Paul Smith List-Id: Linux on Embedded PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C77AC7.95ACDE53 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I was having so many problems with the 2.6.14 (old) emac driver that I backported the new one from 2.6.15. It works great... until I tried to use KGDBOE with it. Then I got: kgdboe: eth1 doesn't support polling, aborting. Looking around I see that I need the driver to support the poll_controller method in the net device, and the new driver doesn't seem to do that. I see the old implementation of this method, but of course it uses interfaces that no longer exist so I can't use that directly. It seems like a small change but I'm not really familiar with the implementation of the ibm_emac driver; does anyone have a patch for the new driver to provide this feature?

I was having so many problems with the 2.6.14 (old) = emac driver that I
backported the new one from 2.6.15.  It works great... until I = tried to
use KGDBOE with it.  Then I got:

    kgdboe: eth1 doesn't support polling, aborting.

Looking around I see that I need the driver to support the
poll_controller method in the net device, and the new driver doesn't
seem to do that.

I see the old implementation of this method, but of course it uses
interfaces that no longer exist so I can't use that directly.  It = seems
like a small change but I'm not really familiar with the = implementation
of the ibm_emac driver; does anyone have a patch for the new driver = to
provide this feature?


Thanks!
