Gianfar eth driver on 8540 ppc - for 2.4 and 2.6 : different outputs

[Prashant Yendigeri]

Hi,

The gianfar driver of 2.6.12 and 2.4.20 give different outputs on the same 
PPC 8540 board.

What could be the reason ? 

Output on 2.4.20 : 
/root # ifconfig eth0 172.28.8.254 up
eth0: PHY is Marvell 88E1011S (1410c62)
eth0: Auto-negotiation done
eth0: Half Duplex
eth0: Speed 10BT
eth0: Link is up

Output on 2.6.12
/ # ifconfig eth0 172.28.8.254 up
 eth0: PHY is Generic MII (ffffffff)

Kernel bootup mesages on 2.6.12 for eth initialisation :
[    1.706436] eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
00:01:af:07:9b:8a

[    1.713769] eth0: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.718137] eth0: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
[    1.722483] eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
fd:e4:75:9d:72:6f

[    1.729812] eth1: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.734180] eth1: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
[    1.738521] eth2: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
6f:74:3d:2f:64:65

[    1.745851] eth2: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.750218] eth2: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size

On 2.4.20 it is the same :
eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, 00:01:af:07:9b:8a
eth0: Running with NAPI disabled
eth0: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, fd:e4:75:9d:72:6f
eth1: Running with NAPI disabled
eth1: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
eth2: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, 6f:74:3d:2f:64:65
eth2: Running with NAPI disabled
eth2: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size

I am able to ping and use telnet,ftp etc when booted from 2.4.20 but ping, 
telnet,ftp, don't work eventhough i use same ramdisk in both the cases.
ifconfig shows card is up in 2.6.12 too.


Regards,
Prashant
