IIRC, Ben had some issues with how phylib and the EMAC would need to interact. Not sure if he has those written down somewhere or not.

I have a large variety of boards that I can test with since the entire 4xx line relies on this driver for on-board network. josh _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
