I am currently porting the 8240 Sandpoint. Other than the signal level
considerations between PCI and PMC, there really aren't any driver
differences. I just happened to pick a PCI Ethernet card that wasn't
supported by PPC, so I had to fix the byte ordering troubles. All of
the work is in properly programming the PCI bridge, everything else
seems to fall into place.
