Here's a post from Sylvain pointing to his mpc5200 git tree.  The
Ethernet driver has not yet been rolled into mainline because the
BestComm DMA engine does not yet conform to the platform bus.  You
must get the driver from Sylvain's tree if you want to use Ethernet.

Do you mean SIP or SPI?  I wrote a simple SPI subsystem for my own use
which is posted to the linuxppc-embedded mailing list.  Unlike most
SPI subsystems out there, it is NOT based on the I2C subsystem.  There
are a number of good SPI subsystem implementations out there that you
can choose from.

BTW, you can subscribe to the linuxppc-embedded mailing list from here:
