Re: Anyone got eepro100 working on Walnut?

I've been trying to get an Intel eepro100 card working on a
Walnut board.  I've tried both the 1.09 and 1.19 versions of
the driver (eepro100.c).  Initially, both failed the self-
test step.  I was able to get past that one by invalidating
the dcache after issuing the self-test directive.  However,
I now find that the card is neither transmitting nor receiving
reliably.  I get messages like:

   eth1: Unknown receiver error, status=0x5048.  [lots of these]

and

eth1: Transmit timed out: status 0050  0000 at 2/8 commands 00a00300 00a003000.
eth1: Restarting the chip...
eth1: Command unit failed to mark command 00030000 as complete at 6.


Any suggestions (other than junking this card, which is not an option
for me) most welcome.

Sounds like you have a buggy kernel since it looks like cache
coherency problems.  By the revision of the eepro100 driver you
are using, it sounds ancient too.

Try running the 2_4_devel kernel.  The current eepro100 driver
works fine for me on a 440 so you shouldn't have a problem
assuming that the walnut port is working.
