I checked the EMAC/PHY patch on our board (CPCI-405 with Intel LXT971), and the driver seems to start without problems without ethernet cable connected, when the EMAC soft-reset command is removed from the init routine. With the soft-reset in init still implemented, "fec_enet_mdio_read()" returns with timeout, waiting for transfer to complete. The next soft-reset in open leads to the same problem (timeout in mdio_read()), but doesn't lead to a kernel panik. So Armin, could you please remove the soft-reset from init (if nobody objects, of cause). Best regards, Stefan Roese ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
