Re: ARCH=ppc -> ARCH=powerpc : help needed for dts file

Now back to the first an bigger problem :
currently, I have an "old" U-boot and I have written myself a dts file.

Problem is : ethernet does not work, but that's not a mac-address problem,
but something else that I do not understand yet.  The symptom is I get

	ip route add default via 192.168.85.33 dev eth0
	RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

I surmise this is because my eth0 does not become up, and I surmise
again this is because there is no driver selected to drive the phy.

In my arch/ppc setup this was automagically handled by fixed@100:1 IIRC

Is there something I can put in my dts file to activate a driver for my phy ?

Best regards
This slipped under my radar, and I'm only just now finding it again.  Have your issues been resolved?  If not, could you send a bit more of the boot log?  There should be a little more if the PHY was not found.  If you were operating with a fixed PHY setup before, then the generic PHY driver (which will automatically bind to your PHY) should suffice unless your MDIO bus is broken.
