Is this a reference design by Xilinx? Linux based or standalone?

You could post your driver to the list when you think it is in good enough shape.
If your driver is based on the linux TEMAC driver from EDK, it shouldn't
be very different from my version (my added value is mostly replacing the
custom PHY code with the PHY lib stuff). Then we could merge our drivers (or
whatever would make sense).

I would be interested to have a look at your current code just to see
how much has it cost to "de-EDK" the FIFO part. You could email me
your (even not quite working) driver privately if you want.


Thanks,
Andrei
