If someone is doing this, please send me some patches for the driver when you get it working. All of the 857s I have seen are still using Port D for the FEC. I guess I could make the changes if someone else can test them. > I supposed you're using PORT D for something else!? The intention is to also be able to use Port D for the ATM UTOPIA so you can have 10/100 and ATM on the same part. This is really the purpose of the 857, although I have yet to see anyone use it that way :-). -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
