Please note that the ELDK is primarily an Embedded Linux  Development
Kit; it ships with a 2.4.4 kernel, which is very reliable and running
really  well, but for new projects you should probalby base your work
on the linuxppc_2_4_devel kernel instead.

Neither the 752 nor the DP83815 will run out  of  the  box  with  our
2.4.4 kernel.

Umm... I don't understand the  question?  You  should  look  at  your
driver's source code, of course ;-)

Attach your BDI2000, and start GDB.
