RE: PPC4xx enet driver problem (version 2.0)

2.5 tree has an _old_ driver + some modifications + some 440GX code. linuxppc-2.4 has a new driver re-written by Ben + some 440GX code. Eventually 2.4 version will be merged into 2.5. So it is _not_ a dead end, although it has some problems as you noticed.
OK, good to know!
Currently, Matt Porter is hacking on 440GX support and probably he (?) will be the one who will merge 2.4 into 2.5. I also have something done (mostly some stuff Ben havn't finished during re-write, and some NAPI bits) sitting in my tree (I'm pretty busy now to finish and push it to Matt :( ).
If you have an updated driver, I would be glad to test it on our 405ep board.
I'll try to look at your problem during this weekend, I don't have 405ep boards with two EMACs (yet), so I'll try to reproduce the problem on 440GP/GX eval boards.
That would be great. Please let me know, if you need any further infos...
If you have some fixes feel free to post them here :).
Sorry, I tried to dig deeper into this problem, but without a solution so far. Thanks, Stefan. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
