This is exactly why I wish this patch had been posted to netdev@...r.kernel.org, now we have a dialogue going and even if I add netdev to the CC: now, you can't follow it completely as a netdev subscriber without going to the lkml archives. To answer the question, yes it is just a normal PCI device, they put 4 HME chips behind a PCI bridge. However, the OpenFirmware on the cards usually creates device node properties for these PCI devices for the local ethernet addresses. That's what he's trying to duplicate here. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
