It probably does not work with 2.3.x code; but then - I never got lucky with any 2.3 code :-( > There have been some changes through the course of 2.3 and 2.4. > I think Wolfgang Denk finally fixed the FEC driver so it can be > use in 2.4.

See our version of the sources in ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src Works fine in a couple of systems based on 860T and 860P CPUs, with Level One 970 and 9880 and similar PHY's. If your hardware does autoconfiguration you can omit most of the PHY recognistion stuff; otherwise enable it, but then you must assign a PHY interrupt. > The 860P certainly works, I use one almost every day for some > kind of network activity. Me too (in an ISDN router).
