Hi,

This is interesting...

I have the sysace working but the ethernet not.

Just an idea:
For the sysace driver in the 2.6 kernel the old device file
entries don't work anymore.

Do you have the correct device nodes in /dev? You can create those
nodes with the following commands:

# mknod -m 660 xsa b 254 0
# mknod -m 660 xsa1 b 254 1
# mknod -m 660 xsa2 b 254 2
# mknod -m 660 xsa3 b 254 3


Concerning the ethernet...:  ;-)
Which IP Type do you have for the Ethernet_MAC? Mine is
xps_ethernetlite but I can't find a linux driver which seems to
work with this one.

regards,
Jan
