John,

I have a ll_temac for CDMAC version that I made for >2.6.19 that used
the old wrapper from a MontaVista 2.4 kernel. It was tested (not overly
stressed) and working at speeds > 100Mb. I plan on moving it to a
unified source once I had a LocalLink TEMAC that would support my
hardware. Xilinx did not support ll_temac w/ RGMII or SGMII which are
both found on the ML410 for Gigabit.

I currently use David's driver with much success now for the plb_temac.
I have a modified version that has been mostly cleaned up. I did remove
the ll stuff since it was for a Pico(??) LocalLink TEMAC that I could
not find, and not the Xilinx LocalLink TEMAC w/ CDMAC, which is what I
was interested in. If interested, I could finish the clean-up on it and
post a patch for it (once I figure out how to actually make the patch
:P). Right now what mainly remains is finish grouping the functions for
FIFO and starting support for DMA.
