Gigibit ethernet ports on Ocotea + 2.6.10

Gigibit ethernet ports on Ocotea + 2.6.10

[Howard, Marc]

Hi,

Are there any patches to 2.6.10 that are needed to make the gigabit
ethernet ports (eth2 and eth3) work on Ocotea?  I can boot on eth2 using
U-Boot and get to the point where linux is (supposedly) making a BOOTP
request (although there is no traffic present on that interface).
According to my archive searching the fixes should already be in there.
Is there a pending patch repository somewhere?

As a side question are there any kernel command line options that would
force eth2 to a fixed IP address?  I'm currently using:

console=3DttyS0,115200 root=3D/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=3D192.168.168.108:/projects/targets/ppc_4xx
ip=3D192.168.168.111:192.168.168.108:192.168.168.108:255.255.255.0:ppc440=
:
:off

...but this of course doesn't associate eth2 with the desired IP address
(192.168.168.111)

Thanks,

Marc W. Howard

You haven't searched archives very hard :). 

Format of ip=... can be found in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c:

/*
 *  Decode any IP configuration options in the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel
 *  command line parameter. It consists of option fields separated by colons in
 *  the following order:
 *
 *  <client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<host name>:<device>:<PROTO>
 *
 *  Any of the fields can be empty which means to use a default value:
 *      <client-ip>     - address given by BOOTP or RARP
 *      <server-ip>     - address of host returning BOOTP or RARP packet
 *      <gw-ip>         - none, or the address returned by BOOTP
 *      <netmask>       - automatically determined from <client-ip>, or the
 *                        one returned by BOOTP
 *      <host name>     - <client-ip> in ASCII notation, or the name returned
 *                        by BOOTP
 *      <device>        - use all available devices
 *      <PROTO>:
 *         off|none         - don't do autoconfig at all (DEFAULT)
 *         on|any           - use any configured protocol
 *         dhcp|bootp|rarp  - use only the specified protocol
 *         both             - use both BOOTP and RARP (not DHCP)
 */


BTW, looks like your ip=.. line is incorrect, you missed <device> 
parameter.
