But the good news is that I have a working version of the FEC driver; see our modified kernel sources in ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/, or the patch at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/patches/patch.8xx_misc (and the README for it in ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/patches/README.8xx_misc ). BTW: I've sent all these patches to Dan and Cort and Ben, so I hope at least part of it will make it in the official sources. > have made some changes that seem to get it halfway there, but am not > getting any transmit interrupts yet (I am getting receive and mii > interrupts). It's working for me in several configurations.
