While I was quite surprised to find it in Wolfgang's tree, I'm confident that Wolfgang received it in good faith. I did not publish the port because the ethernet support relies on a Motorola-written DMA subsystem with a proprietary license that doesn't permit redistribution. A month ago, Motorola finally sent me an updated, GPLed version of the DMA controller code. I merged the new version, but the DMA API has changed and I've been busy with other things so ethernet isn't quite working again, yet. I've made several changes to the 5200 port as well. I will post my updated code to this list this week and would prefer to see it merged rather than my older code contained in the above patch.
