Could you give a direct link ? I've been browsing around the
Freescale website for an hour, downloaded hundreds of
megabytes of archives but haven't been able to find the
MPC8360E USB Linux driver.

Hi Laurent,

I believe that I recall seeing the USB drivers in the "MPC8360E Device
Drivers - Release 1.1 GPL ", accessible from the main 8360 page.

http://www.freescale.com/files/netcomm/software/device_drivers/MPC8360EGPLDRV.zip

One little gotcha... When you unzip this archive, it's a windows
executable, but it doesn't have the '.exe' extension on the file, so
you'll need to add it by hand.  I had to "contact my local FAE" just
to figure out that one when the darn thing wouldn't run.  Too many
years of using Unix I guess.

PS: Am I the only one to get lost almost every time when I
look for information on www.freescale.com ?

No, rest assured, you're not.  Try finding any information about the
eval board for the 8360 on freescale.com.

These don't look like Linux drivers to me.  (Although they are GPL so you could
port them to Linux if you have the inclination.)
