ethtool on gianfar ethernet driver on MPC85xx platform

All,

I am using the gianfar ethernet driver on MPC8540 platform.
The gianfar driver itself includes code that supports ethtool
(gianfar_ethtool.c)
We downloaded the ethtool.c utility program version 1.8 and tried to access
the ethtool on gianfar driver.  Here is what we received when
entering the ethtool commands:
ethtool -i eth0
Cannot get driver information:  Operation not supported
ethtool -d eth0
Cannot get driver information:  Operation not supported

Does anyone know how to access the ethtool on the gianfar driver?

thanks,


Eileen Guo

I just got back from vacation, and have sent a similar message to
chau.duong@motorola.com:

Hmmm...  Could you tell me what version of the kernel you have?  In
other words, when/where did you get this code?

Have you ifconfig-ed eth0?

I will look into it in the meantime to see if 1.8 works with my kernel.
