You should be able to lift the driver from the 2.3.99 kernel and make
a couple of minor modifications.  There are just a couple of obvious
places where the kernel/driver interface changes (synchronization points),
and then add the 8260 interrupt and cache snooping changes.  It may be
easier to take the 8xx enet.c driver from 2.2.13 and apply 8260 changes.

I'm taking the 2.2 version and going from there, as I did with the SMC driver.

Are you using SMC1 for the console?  Is this a custom board?

console = SMC1.  First ported to SBC8260 (EST board), then to custom h/w.
The custom h/w has an IDE interface;  I hope to get the whole linux-1999 Q3
working on it;  that should be interesting.

Do you want any of the work patched into 2.2.15 or 2.3.99?

Sure!  It might be a few weeks though...

Oh oh.....You opened the flood gates for questions now :-).  How did
you connect the IDE?

Send patches and tell me the baseline......


Thanks.
