IIRC, I tested the e100.c driver on this platform with 2.6.12 and it was OK at that time (the platform is now discontinued by ARM Ltd). > 1) Does e100 driver work on ARM? I tested the e100.c driver a few months ago on the Versatile/PB and RealView/EB platforms with PCI backplanes attached. The driver seemed to work well (after fixing some PCI hardware problems on our platforms). I couldn't get the eepro100.c driver to work though, but didn't have any reason to investigate further. -- Catalin
