I was wondering if anyone here had use Gumstix with an alternate MAC besides the LAN91C111? It's an obsolete chip that is relatively expensive and hard to find, so I was hoping to use a more commonplace MAC. I can't find out whether any other MACs are supported out-of-box however.... Anyone try something similar? -- Visit my development page at http://via.dynalias.org |

If so, I don't see the problem with using it, as you get the chip itself from the gumstix store, and the drivers in the gumstix-modified kernel work fine. (Or well, not really. I can't get iptables to work, but that's another matter. *hopes someone will notice the bug posted about it*) And $49.00 really isn't that bad. (: To use another NIC you have to get it in a format which allows it to interface with the connectors on the board. I know there has been some modification to the LAN91C111 driver for the gumstix, but I'm not certain for what purpose, or what it involves. Craig can probably answer this in a more specific manner, though. :) -- Kindest regards / Med vennlig hilsen, Jørgen P. Tjernø <jo...@de...> |

The Realtex RTL8019AS has been used on other PXA255 designs, with success. The other is the D9000 from Davicom that glues up very similar to the SMSC part. It's also 1/3 the cost and half the size. -Chris On 10/26/05, Andr=E9s Calder=F3n <and...@gm...> wrote: > > > > On 10/24/05, Jai Dhar <jai...@gm...> wrote: > > > > I was wondering if anyone here had use Gumstix with an alternate MAC > > besides the LAN91C111?
