Hello,
I am trying to use a 82559 mac/phy on our custom board. It is attached to
the PCI bus of the PPC.
The only "nonstandard" feature is that its interrupt line is directly
connected to the EPIC forcing me to
use the EPIC in direct mode.
The code of the eepro100.c driver is modified to take this in account but
all goes no so smoothly since I don't receive the interrupts.
It seems that the MSR register is not correctly configured: MSR[EE]=0
instead of 1 and MSR[IP]= 1 instead of 0
I tried to change this in the kernel but I didn't find the right place.
The others registers seems to be correctly configured.
Does someone have any clue on how this works of more detailed doc on the
82559 that the one of Intel ?
