I'll look to making a patch after that (hopefully within a > week). You should be able to lift the driver from the 2.3.99 kernel and make a couple of minor modifications. There are just a couple of obvious places where the kernel/driver interface changes (synchronization points), and then add the 8260 interrupt and cache snooping changes. It may be easier to take the 8xx enet.c driver from 2.2.13 and apply 8260 changes. Are you using SMC1 for the console? Is this a custom board? > I compile the kernel native on that machine.

Do you want any of the work patched into 2.2.15 or 2.3.99? -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
