Re: fast ethernet LXT972A support

Ummm.... you must be looking in the wrong place; our  kernel  version
supports  AMD79C874, LXT970, LXT971, QS6612, DP83843, and DP83846A on
MPC8xx processors, and AMD79C873, LXT970, LXT971, QS6612  on  MPC8260

Well, the version I got is linux-2.4.4-08-09. And I'm sure there are no
DP83843 and DP83846A support. So you must have made progress in
supporting new PHYs. :) The file I'm looking at is arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c.

That's what I was looking at, too. But you mentioned "latest kernel",
and I have here:

----------------------------
revision 1.20
date: 2002/08/11 11:09:33;  author: wd;  state: Exp;  lines: +369 -42
1. Added support for PHY DP83843BVJE.
2. Added support for PHY DP83846A.
3. Added a timer callback to periodically probe the DP83846A (or any
   other chip, it is easy to adapt) for link changes. The delays are
   hard-coded, though. Someone could add some configuration
   parameters for it, of course! The periods depend on the link
   state:
   - 1 second when the link is up.
   - 100ms when the link is down.
4. Added the standard IOCTL support to manipulate the PHY registers.
5. A bugfix (in fec_restart(), if the flag 'tx_full' is set, it must
   be cleared, and the network interface queue needs to be awakened.)

For me, latest == top of CVS :-)
