FEC support

FEC support

[Manie Steyn]

Hi,

I am running the Embedded Planet Classic 860T with Monta Vista's 2.2.13
kernel and have some trouble in getting the FEC interface up and running.

The "link" LED comes on but after using ifconfig to assign an IP, I get
"neighour table overflow" when pinging to or from the device.

I saw the following mail from Dan regarding the 2.4 tree:

Does this also hold for the FEC driver in the 2.2.13 port, or am I doing
something wrong?

Manie,

The message "neighbour table overflow" is the result of some
changes to the IP stack software in Linux version 2.2.x +. This
simply means that you are unable to connect to your NFS
server.  It may be related to the driver, but it may also be
related to other issues, such as NFS server not running or
incorrectly installed, no physical connectivity to NFS server,
etc.  Check the configuration of your NFS server and IP
network before diving into the driver.

I'm sorry it turns out that I has a bad Ethernet cable to the hub. I should
have been able to figure that one out sooner, sorry.

The FEC is running just fine.

Thanks again to the MVisata and EP guys for making it so easy to get an
embedded board running with Linux in no-time.
