Any idea what may cause this problem? Steven Hill posted his patch series merging gt64260 ethernet support to the netdev mailing list last month. You might look at: http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2007/07/19/22 and related patches. The differences between 64260 and 64360 are so large that they are unlikely to be merged into a single driver, but a separate driver is a possibility if someone steps up to do the work. -Dale
