I'm not all that surprised that you've run into something. Both the ethernet and mpsc (uart) drivers for the controllers on that bridge are pretty much hacks. They need to be rewritten at some point. To be honest, after looking at them, I'm surprised they work as well as they do. Its a project just waiting for a volunteer just like you!! ;) Mark ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
