Trying to bring up a third ethernet i/f(ifconfig eth2 up) on
a Freescale 832x CPU gives me this:
 ifconfig eth2 up
 ucc_geth_startup: Can not allocate DPRAM memory for p_thread_data_tx.
 eth2: Cannot configure net device, aborting.
 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory
=20
This worked in 2.6.20

Hi Joakim,

Thanks for the bug report.  The cause of this problem is that ucc_geth
is set to work in 1000Mbps mode.  However, 8323 only supports 100Mbps.
1000Mbps mode consumes much more MURAM for virtual FIFO.

I will investigate this problem further, and see if a patch is needed.
