Hello everyone,
I recently obtained a Mikrotik RB600 and applied the patch from http://cynigram.com/~nfontes/rb600/
to get it up and running with 2.6.28.3
With this patch applied everything was detected on the board and
worked. For testing purposes I tried a recent git snapshot and noticed
that the gianfar driver had problems.
While the the Gianfar was detected
[ 0.549115] Gianfar MII Bus: probed
[ 0.553316] eth0 (fsl-gianfar): not using net_device_ops yet
[ 0.560861] eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.2, 00:0c:
42:28:de:4e
[ 0.568024] eth0: Running with NAPI enabled
[ 0.572234] eth0: 256/256 RX/TX BD ring size
[ 0.576802] eth1 (fsl-gianfar): not using net_device_ops yet
[ 0.584200] eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.2, 00:0c:
42:28:de:4f
[ 0.591345] eth1: Running with NAPI enabled
[ 0.595575] eth1: 256/256 RX/TX BD ring size
trying to up either of the devices gave me
[ 8.724818] m...@24520:01 not found
[ 8.728330] eth1: Could not attach to PHY
[ 8.732945] m...@24520:01 not found
[ 8.737720] eth1: Could not attach to PHY
I tracked this back to commit
"b31a1d8b41513b96e9c7ec2f68c5734cef0b26a4 gianfar: Convert gianfar to
an of_platform_driver". Reverting this one and applying for fsc_soc.c
made the two nics work again.
I tried to figure out what was causing the problem in the first place,
but failed miserably. I am pretty sure it is just a minor probing
issue somewhere in the code but I am not able to spot that.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can take a look at it and
help me out a little bit.
According to lspci the board is a
00:00.0 Power PC: Freescale Semiconductor Inc MPC8343 (rev 30)
Please CC me in any replies since I am not subscribed to the ML .. yet.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
