Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Announcement: MPHY now supported inmpc860sar

All I know  is that it won't run on the 8260 "as-is".  Sorry, you'll
have to RTFM.  (The chapter on ATM is only ~180 pages :-).

Okay. Thanks.

And now for my next question - Do you think the driver
should run on the 82xx family of chips? (e.g. 8260 and the likes)
these guys have 2 Utopia-II ports with support for up to 31 devices
per port. Coupled with this software, it could make for a highly
efficient DSLAM.

It is currently only supported in SAR mode, and in that mode there is an
upper limit of 4 UTOPIA phys.  However, there's no reason that support
can't be added for MPHY in ESAR mode - in which the limit is 31 phys.  I
suspect that adding such support would be easier now that Rodolfo has
done most of the work.

PS I'm not the expert on this.  Rodolfo's sourceforge username is
"zaigor".

This is very exciting news! (well, for me it is)

How many PHY's in parallel are we talking about here?

Thanks,
Gilad.

Just a quick note to say that multi-phy is now supported by the
mpc860sar ATM driver, thanks to a patch by Rodolfo Giometti.
