This is currently available on our ftp site ftp.pmc-sierra.com under /pub/linux/2.6.12/linux-2.6.12-rc3_L002.tar.gz.  The driver has been completely re-written and we welcome any feedback on the same.

Note that we will be having a separate GE driver for the MSP85x0, while the old Titan GE driver (titan_ge.c) would support the Titan (RM912x) chip on the Yosemite platform.  FYI, the MSP85x0 is the new name for the RM915x device.

Unless my memory is wrong Seqoia and Yosemite have the same ethernet
controller, so why two drivers?
