I have just ran the u-boot on ixdp425 dev board (thanks to all the friends
on this list that have supported me) and now i'm trying to write a device
driver to use the internal eth interface of ixp425 to allow the tftp boot of
linux image.
Before starting I would like to know if anybody has already written such
driver (i don't want to re-invent the wheel!).
Any idea?
many thanks
Gianfranco

This will most likely require using the Intel IXP Access Libraries to control
the NPE. The Intel license is not compatible with GPL (and u-boot). This
prohibits using the ethernet port, unless you're willing to write the NPE
code from scratch.
