Hi All,
          I have ported Linux kernel version 2.4.24 on MPC8266 based customized Board,  having LXT971 ethernet chip.
The root file system is JFFS2 which i have made using mkfs.jffs2 utility which comes along with the ELDK 3.0
In the kernel code i checked that there is support for the LXT971 chip, but even after enabling all the network related funcuntionalities in the linux kernel configuration, I am either not able to ping from the board to any machine on the network, nor from the any other machine to the board.
The board is able to ping itself.
Can some one please throw some light why the board is not able to ping any other machine.
 
Regards
