Hi,

I'm trying to run the latest linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel on
our custom 405GP based board. I get kernel panic when an
attempt is made to probe for ethernet controller phy:

Kernel panic: eth0: PHY id 0xfbc85c20 is not supported!

The phy is National Semiconductor DP83846AVHG.
It works fine with Monta Vista HHL 2.0 kernel.

IIRC, the hhl 2.0 kernel assumes that you have a National Semiconductor
DP83843.  I'm guessing the 83846 is similar enough such that it just
works.  Take a look at drivers/net/ppc405_phy.c, and add in support for
your PHY (and please sumbit a patch to the list).
