So i found this manual here: http://www.silica.com/fileadmin/02_Products/Productdetails/Texas_Instruments/SILICA_TI_66AK2E05-ds.pdf Glad there is an open document! There are a couple of ethernet switch chips I can spot there. Can i control those with "bridge" or say "brctl" utilities? I can see the bridge ports are exposed and i should be able to control them via ifconfig or ip link. Thats what "standard kernel infrastructure" means. Magic hidden in a driver is not. Take a look at recent netconf discussion (as well as earlier referenced discussions): http://vger.kernel.org/netconf-nf-offload.pdf Maybe we can help providing you some direction? The problem is it doesnt seem that the offload specs for those other pieces are open? e.g how do i add an entry to the L2 switch? cheers, jamal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
