Hello,
at current git all AT91RM9200 based boards have the "Ethernet driver is deprecated" warning.
I have read anywhere, there are plans to join the AT91 and the 9200 driver.
Is there someone work on this or will AT91RM9200 driver ported in soon.
We wanted to publish a new board without the deprecated drivers
Best regards
Jens Scharsig

I don't have any familiarity with either of these, but a cursory
inspection shows me that most AT91 chips use the MACB driver. I don't
see much in similarities between the MACB driver and the 9200 driver, so
don't know if joining them makes sense. I don't remember any discussion
about this - can you send a pointer?
Is there a chance that you can port the AT91RM9200 driver to the
NET_MULTI API? Mike Frysinger just submitted a document detailing the
process (doc/README.drivers.eth) I've done this with several drivers
and it's not very hard.

I don't remember where exactly discussed this.

I think I will try this, but I need a lot of time.
I'm caught in a another project.
