Problem Regarding Ping in Linux kernel version 2.4.24

[Aristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho]

Hi,
>           I have ported Linux kernel version 2.4.24 on MPC8266 based customized
> Board,  having LXT971 ethernet chip.
> The root file system is JFFS2 which i have made using mkfs.jffs2 utility which
> comes along with the ELDK 3.0
> In the kernel code i checked that there is support for the LXT971 chip, but
> even after enabling all the network related funcuntionalities in the linux
> kernel configuration, I am either not able to ping from the board to any
> machine on the network, nor from the any other machine to the board.
> The board is able to ping itself.
> Can some one please throw some light why the board is not able to ping any
> other machine.
try to comment this line in LXT971 section of driver:
	{ mk_mii_write(MII_REG_CR, 0x1200), NULL }, /* autonegotiate */
and check if it works
