Hi Andrea, first things first. What kernel version are you using? > Da: Andrea Gasparini <gaspa@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Data: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:38:00 +0100 > A: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Oggetto: mac address inside eeprom. > > Hi, > My system has an AT24 eeprom (drivers/misc/eeprom/at24.c), that contains > the mac adress of my ethernet. I looked at the latest version (2.6.38), and I saw that in include/linux/i2c/at24.h there is a structure to access the eeprom data. You should initialize that structure in your driver, or at boot, making it point to the eeprom address where the mac address is located. > Is there a standard way to retrieve data from other devices, that should be > used inside drivers? The standard way is always through the api's given in header files under the "include" directory. > > I've already modified both at24.c and the ethernet driver to do so, but I'm > wondering if there was already a better way.
