Hello! We are trying to switch to the 2.4.23 linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel (from 2.4.21) and experience a problem with the "new" ethernet driver for the ibm ppc4xx (version 2.0 from Benjamin Herrenschmidt). On our boards with only one active enet interface we have no problems. But our PPC405EP boards with 2 active enet devices, the traffic stops completely upon initializing the 2nd devices (emac_reset_configure).
Has anybody experienced similar problems? Has anybody seen this driver working properly with more than one ppc4xx enet devices (especially ppc405ep)? With the previous driver (from linuxppc_2_4_devel 2.4.21 maintained by mvista) we had no problems with 2 enet interfaces on the ppc405ep so far! By the way: What is the future of the ppc4xx enet driver. I found that the 2.5 kernel has a newer mvista driver included (modifications for 440gx, etc.). Is the driver from 2.4.23 a dead end? Thanks and best regards, Stefan. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
