That was me. 8255x's are the onboard Ethernet of choice now for high end PPC embedded boards so it's painful when the eepro100 maintainer(s) keep breaking other archs. They're were recently some double byte swapping areas that I pushed a fix in for...the maintainer(s) have been sent patches directly in the past and seem to be dropping them. -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
