Hi,
I'm trying to get the ULI 526x driver working on a Freescale 8610
reference board, and it can't connect. When I turn on debug, I see this:
Update: I can ping anything on my subnet, but nothing else. Also, it looks like
my MAC address is hosed:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:10.82.19.159 Bcast:10.82.19.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:414 (414.0 b) TX bytes:1224 (1.1 KiB)
Interrupt:18 Base address:0x1000
It turns out that the driver is getting the MAC address from the ID table:
if(((u16 *) db->srom)[0] == 0xffff || ((u16 *) db->srom)[0] == 0) /* SROM
absent, so read MAC address from ID Table */
{
In my case, the address that is returned is all zeros. I don't know anything
about the ULI 526x hardware. Is it possible that there's a missing EEPROM on my
board that's supposed to hold the MAC address? Are these registers user-writable?
