(100Mbps are okay for that testing) I doubt fec drivers would ever work for the TSECs. You should be able to pull the driver code out of 2.6.11.x for gianfar back into 2.6.8.1 w/o any real issue. > Maybe somebody can get me a working .config for 2.6.8.1 and mpc8540ads? Can you start with the .config file that exists in the 2.6.11 ? - kumar
