Maybe a pointer or two (e.g., what's the equivalent, in the new emac driver, of these lines in the old driver: emac_rxeob_dev((void *)ndev, 0); emac_txeob_dev((void *)ndev, 0); ?) --------------- I was having so many problems with the 2.6.14 (old) emac driver that I backported the new one from 2.6.15. It works great... until I tried to use KGDBOE with it. Then I got: kgdboe: eth1 doesn't support polling, aborting. Looking around I see that I need the driver to support the poll_controller method in the net device, and the new driver doesn't seem to do that. I see the old implementation of this method, but of course it uses interfaces that no longer exist so I can't use that directly. It seems like a small change but I'm not really familiar with the implementation of the ibm_emac driver; does anyone have a patch for the new driver to provide this feature?
