The mainline tree has ml403 support, but it's not complete. I just posted a set of patches that clean up a bunch of stuff and add some support. Also, if you look through the mailing list archive, you can find a copy of the adapter.c file needed to make the Xilinx TEMAC driver work with Linux. I'm also planing to publish my git tree tomorrow where I've integrated all the patches I need to get Linux in a useful state for the ml403. The git tree will show up on http://git.secretlab.ca. You might find it easier to grab my tree and use that as your starting point. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc. P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd. grant.likely@secretlab.ca (403) 399-0195
