Hi everybody As I wandered through the 2.6.14-rc4 kernel I noticed that since 2.6.10 the old OAK (PPC403) evaluation board from IBM is no longer supported. I am quite familiar with this board, as we at work we have quite a few some running another OS.
The ethernet driver for this board (oaknet.c) required quite a few tricks (e.g. some function like ei_obp) to work around some very annnoying design weaknesses of the original board. As this driver is only used for this board and not even compilable (eg. ei_obp is nowhere defined) I think it would be better to remove it altogether. As this is my first attempt to get a patch into the linux kernel, do not hesitate to point out any mistakes I made. My experiences using cogito have been very positive. Please CC to me as I am not subscribed to this list. Best regards Niklaus Giger -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
