The CTX-1170 worked at one time on the EST board.  Unfortunately,
I had to make little changes for just about every different 8260
board I have seen.  Further, my EST boards have all failed in some
way or another so I can't even test this anymore.

Even when it "worked", I had trouble with some 10/100 switches.

Is this driver available from sourceforge, or is it something you have
locally?  I would like to look at it and I may see some differences.

Most of the changes surround the MDIO interface and the software
"clocking" of the bits on those lines.  The PHYs seem sensitive to
timing I just can't get right with the software.  I was able to get
one, or a small subset, working at the same time, but not all of them
at once.
