I recently refreshed buildroot from SVN (v. 1541) and found the problem wit=
h the DMA channel on the smc911x controller returned. For your entertainmen=
t, here's the patch I used to get ifconfig reporting DMA channel ff again:

I know it's not pretty, but it does seem to work for me - and it is my firs=

The thing that seemed to cause this was a change in the previous #if statem=

Anyway, fully anticipating getting my leg pulled because this is fixed in s=
ome other patch that I don't know about. Is there a list of patches wiki'd =
somewhere? Craig?
