We should close it with the next kernel upload... with any luck, I'll

Does Geert have this in his queue yet?

No. Where's the patch?

Now for the actual EtherNAT driver ... still experimental at this stage.

This patch _replaces_ Geert's linux-m68k-patches-2.6/atari-ethernat.diff (the
lp updates made it a bit too messy so I rather send a fresh one). Please
replace the old patch with this one, Geert.

 b/drivers/net/atari_91C111.c |  191 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---

Euh, the patch doesn't provide the whole drivers/net/atari_91C111.c;
that part seems to be incremental?

Can you please resend the full patch?

Apparently, the EtherNAT has no station addres (MAC) PROM on board, so you
will have to set the MAC address manually, using

ifconfig eth%d hw ether 00:00:de:ad:be:ef

I think there's infrastructure for that. Ah, random_ether_addr() in
include/linux/etherdevice.h

Sending and receiving data via EtherNAT works to some degree, that is, I can
ping remote hosts (but receive duplicate reply packets from the local net when
I have the EtherNEC up at the same time). I cannot use slogin (which may be
due to the dups, or because I use the same local net for both interfaces
without properly separating the networks).

Do EtherNAT and EtherNEC share the same interrupt?
Do you have both of them connected to the same local net?
