Message-ID: <6264d2ec0704101108o7557031bj1250f70d817df004@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 20:08:23 +0200 From: "Thomas LangÄs" <thomas.langaas@...il.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Support for Asix AX88796 I've got an DVB-C-box called Dreambox DM500-C and it uses the AX88796-chip for networking. They (Dream Multimedia, makers of the Dreambox) has patched the NE2000-drivers in the kernel (ne.c), but only to get it working. As a result it doesn't seem to be performing more than 20-30 Mbps. I found a driver [1] that I managed to patch into the linux 2.6.9-kernel, but upon booting the dreambox it doesn't detect the networkcard. I suspect it because of this (found inside the ne.c-file used by the dreambox): static int __init do_ne_probe(struct net_device *dev) { #if defined(CONFIG_DM7020) unsigned int base_addr = dev->base_addr = (unsigned int)ioremap(0xf2000000,4096); __u8 *p = (__u8*)base_addr; if (*p == 0xFF) { shift_five=0; base_addr = dev->base_addr = (unsigned int)ioremap(0xf2000600,4096); } #elif defined(CONFIG_DM56xx) unsigned int base_addr = dev->base_addr = (unsigned int)ioremap(0xf2000600,4096); #else unsigned int base_addr = dev->base_addr; #endif #ifndef MODULE int orig_irq = dev->irq = 29; #endif CONFIG_DM56xx is enabled, so there seems to be a hardcoded base_addr used to probe for the networkchip (which is no surprise since this is for an embedded device). But I'm a bit puzzled to where I should put this in the driver below, because it didn't seem to start probing at all when I added printk's to try and debug. Any pointers at all on where to start would be helpfull. :-) In advance, thanks!
