Hi Peter,
What's the problem with Dustin's driver? It seems to work fine here with a lan9117. Why not just add lan921x support to the existing driver?
I have heard Dustin's driver works very well on PXA, but on others it doesn't even compile (hence why it depends on ARCH_PXA). Dustin's driver was based on the smc91x code, but these two ethernet devices share nothing other than a similar name. smsc911x is a new, completely platform-independent driver with workarounds for several hardware issues, and it doesn't suffer from quite as much macro abuse :-) Regards, -- Steve Glendinning SMSC GmbH m: +44 777 933 9124 e: steve.glendinning@smsc.com
