860P FEC and fec driver from 2.3?

From: Gessner, Matt <hidden>
Date: 2001-01-10 22:09:08

Do this work?  I've got someone here who's got the LXT970 PHY
and the thing doesn't work with the driver from 2.3 I've got.
Has it changed?  I don't have access to the bitkeeper tree,
so I'm flying a BIT blind here... Can anyone make any recommendations,
please?

Thanks,

Matt

There have been some changes through the course of 2.3 and 2.4.
I think Wolfgang Denk finally fixed the FEC driver so it can be
use in 2.4.  Some of the software modifications were driver
interface related, and I made a couple because the MII pin
configuration changed with > Rev. C of the parts.

The 860P certainly works, I use one almost every day for some
kind of network activity.
