Hi all,
i'm running in trouble with the above mentioned Ethernet-Chip at an embedded Toshiba-MIPS-Board (Phoenix). This Board is running PMON as Bootloader, and with PMON the ethernet-chip is working fine. So we can download tons of software through this NIC and it is running smoothly.
But in Linux it doesnt. We try to run MontaVista 4.01 (kernel 2.6.x) on it, the NIC will be recognized, but it doesnt work. It even doesnt give a proper error message, all we get is a "eth0 isnt configured". If i do some config by hand with ifconfig, it just doesnt work. The only noticable thing is that ifconfig doesnt show the MAC of the NIC, omly 00:00:00:00:00:00. Is there anybody with similar experience with these NIC and maybe a solution or just a hint?
Thanks, Jens
