Re: Three-Speed Ethernet support on MPC8560 (TSEC)

Hi all!

I'm working on a port of linux (2.6.13-2) on an Actis-computer board,
based on the Freescale MPC8560 Processor.

I solved the problems I had with the init process, and I actually have
the console (SCC1) and one ethernet controler (FCC3) running.

I will now go on with the Three-Speed Ethernet Controler, and there
actually seem to be no support for it, but maybe I did not look at the
right place?

The TSEC has been supported for a long time.  The driver is call  
gianfar (drivers/net/gianfar*).

I got another question, about the FCC driver: it uses a "big"  
structure
"fcc_enet_t" wich seems to be aimed at stats. This is initialised,  
but I
did not find where this is used. Is it?

The FCC enet driver has been completely rewritten recently and is in  
the process of being accepted into the kernel.  Hopefully one of the  
guys with more knowledge on the details will be able to help you on  
the specifics.
