Hi. Is it possible, with the present version of BestComm, to use
DMA for IDE and PCI at the same time?

I don't really know how PCI DMA works in linux ? Is there generic hook
that must be implemented somewhere in the kernel and then are called
by all the drivers ?

As is not possible to use IDE DMA and the integrated FEC at this
moment, I'm thinking of using the integrated ATA controller in the
MPC5200 with DMA for an IDE disk and the PCI controller to
interface to a PCI to ethernet transceiver in a custom board. Is
this possible? Any recommended transceiver to use with linux and
the MPC5200?. Also, I would like to know if there is a known to
work PCI ethernet card (10/100 if possible) for use with the
Lite5200 kit, supported by linux. Thanks in advance.

I've just plugged a intel eepro100, and it's recognized. I can also
ping & telnet & ftp small files, but it freeze ( just the transfer )
for larger files ... Since I have the same behavior in the bootloader,
that may be a hardware issue ...
