Hi guys. I got in late today so I'm just reading this thread now.
I basically want to reiterate and expand on what Brian
<linwoes at gmail.com> stated.
The arch/ppc/syslib/mv64x60* code is really for embedded systems only.
More accurately, its for systems whose firmwares don't do a good job of
configuring the bridge or if you want to significantly change that
configuration. This ends up including many embedded systems but
basically no "desktop"-like systems (e.g., ones with openfirmware) so
that's why this thread should stay on linuxppc-embedded only.
Sven, et. al., your system has openfirmware and apparenly does a very
good job of configuring the bridge so just ignore the mv64x60 stuff.
You can use the platform_data code from there as an example of what
needs to be passed into the enet driver (and mpsc & i2c & wdt, if you
use them (and find all the patches :)).
If I missed something or you have any more questions, I'l be happy to help.
Mark
