Hi Daniel,

is there anyone out there successfully using the SMC 91C111 ethernet chip on AMD's DBAU1200 eval kit? In my setup here, it's working fine from within the YAMON boot loader so I can use it to download a kernel image via TFTP.
The kernel (bleeding edge linux-2.6 mips-GIT) detects the device as well

	smc91x.c: v1.1, sep 22 2004 by Nicolas Pitre <nico@xxxxxxx>
	eth0: SMC91C11xFD (rev 1) at b9000300 IRQ 65 [nowait]
	eth0: Ethernet addr: 00:00:1a:19:11:8c

and is able to mount its root filesystem via NFS. However, the communication does not seem to be sufficiently stable, messages like this occur regularily:

	nfs: server 192.168.1.200 not responding, still trying
	nfs: server 192.168.1.200 not responding, still trying

I had similar issues with smc91x.c on a different platform,
where the bus it is connected to was rather slow (and no DMA)
-> dropped packets.

Try to use NFS via TCP, or force a 10Mbit connection
with ethtool or by hacking the driver (ctl_rspeed).
(For me tcp works.)


HTH,
Johannes
