Ethernet driver for Linux kernel 2.6 running on ML403

[David H. Lynch Jr.]

John;

    In a related rant. Why is it that there is so much meaningless 
variation in the IP's.

    I accept that there are reasons for sometimes mapping registers via 
dcr and in other IP's making them available directly.
    But why do the assorted bits in what is virtually the same register 
have to keep jumping all over the place ?

    As an example there are enormous similarities between the GEMAC that 
has a driver provided by GHS Integrity, and the
PLB FIFO TEMAC. It is almost possible to build the driver as either with 
just a different set of deffinitions - I spent two weeks
trying unsuccessfully to do just that.
