Making Two ethernet interfaces up in Linux

[Rick Moleres]

Shantanu,

Can you post the xemac_g.c file in the xilinx_enet directory?  Also,
which version of the EDK are you using?  There was a bug in EDK 7.x that
prevented multiple Ethernet interfaces from working properly.

It would also be helpful to see xparameters_ml300.h from the
arch/ppc/platforms/xilinx_ocp directory.

Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks for the reply.
The driver which we are using for the ethernet is provided by Xilinx.
In the Linux kernel source, it is located in net/xilinx_enet
directory. We are attaching the adapter file for the driver provided
by Xilinx for the ethernet.
When we gave a first try, it showed two ethernet interfaces eth0 and
eth1 as an output of ifconfig command but only eth0 works, when eth1
is disabled. When both interfaces are up, neither interface works.
While even when eth0 is disabled, eth1 interface doesn't work.

With regards,
Shantanu.
