Hello all,
the enclosed patch applies to the Monta Vista 2.4.22-pre3 kernel or thereabouts. Our PPC implementations have no PHY IRQ support. I notice that the file arch/ppc/8xx_io/fec.c now has a variable HAVE_PHY_INTERRUPT, which is something like what I originally did. But, I had to make another change as well. Specifically, I had to move some initialization code around for the Ethernet to work properly after "ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 up". Without these changes, the Ethernet doesn't come back "up" :( The changes in this patch are done so that people WITH a PHY interrupt have things done in the original order (I can't verify my change against a system WITH PHY interrupts, so I preserved the order). In short, this fix should be safe for all systems, but maybe overly paranoid. Anyone care to inspect and comment on the viability of this patch?
