On the iWave-M platforms the only available Ethernet interface is AVB. Without including the RAVB driver in the Kernel we won't be able to use NFS.

I know adding CONFIG_RAVB for all shmobile devices may increase the Kernel size for everyone, especially when most cannot use AVB without an add-on board, but I don't think the increase will be big.


Kind regards, Chris
