eepro100 on IBM Walnut board,

[Torben Mathiasen]

Hi,

Has anyone tried using an Intel i82559 NIC as a second adapter with an IBM Walnut board? I'm using the eepro100 driver
with the montavista distribution (tried 2.4.0-test2 and 2.4.2) and the driver just keeps printing: wait_for_cmd_timeout.
The NIC won't send any frames, and no interrupts are generated.

The docs claim that the eepro100 driver should work.


Thanks in advance,

Torben

The latest eepro has serious endian-ness problems.  PPC and MIPS suffer
this problem.

We've been using the Intel-supplied driver

http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/30504.htm

with an MPC8240.  We've noticed that the driver in all current
kernels is "problematic", at best, even on x86 (there used to be
a usable one, but I haven't seen it in any tree, lately).

Hope this helps.

Didn't have endian problems in the version we're using on our PPC 8240 board.
The version string says:  eepro100.c:v1.09j 7/27/99 Donald Becker.......etc.
I had problems with newer versions, I think endian issues were one of the them.

I'm using the following version (stock 2.4.2) on ten different PPC
platforms (603e, 750's, 8240's):

static const char *version =
"eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/dri
vers/eepro100.html\n"
"eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.36 $ 2000/11/17 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin <saw@s
aw.sw.com.sg> and others\n";

[Mathiasen, Torben]

Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at some of the older versions.
