Andy, Kumar

Thank you for your help!
GDAtech only give me linux-2.4.27 binary file for RMC-G8500 card, I try to port 2.6.13 for that card myself.

Today, I download linux-2.6.13.tar.bz2 and patch-2.6.14-rc5.bz2 from kernel.org. 
I download http://lwn.net/Articles/146253/ "Patch: Gianfar PHY Layer Update".
I download http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2005-October/020593.html  "[PATCH] 85xx PHY Platform Update"
I patch and build them together get a linux 2.6.14-rc5 for MPC8540, try it on RMC-G8500 card
