Hi,

I am wondering......

Why is the ehternet device (arch/ppc/8xx_io/enet.c) of the MPC8xx linux
kernel refered to as CPM_ENET but not as eth0 from user space programs?

E.g. if I use ip to set the device up I have to give a command like......
ip link set CPM_ENET up
instead of
ip link set eth0 up

and so on.

I would think that the CPM_ENET device is the eth0 of the MPC823 and can
therfore be called eth0..... but then again I am just learning the ways of
the Linux kernel 8-).


K.D.

Because you are using a really, really, really old set of kernel
sources........
