[Gumstix-users] Help recompiling u-boot for SMC9117 (smc911x) driver

[Ian N. <ia...@ia...>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to recompile u-boot so that I can use the
netwifi-microSD-FCC card to transfer new filesystem images to my
gumstix.

Is there any documentation on how to do this in the buildroot? All I
could find was a wiki FAQ that said to use this new chip you had to
rebuild u-boot, but nothing on how to do that.

Also, the patch to fix the netwifi-microSD-FCC DMA bug requires that
the kernel option "CONFIG_SMC911X_GUMSTIX" be set for the patch to
work. Is that just something I'd throw in the kernel .config file? Or
is there a Gumstix style right way to do that in the buildroot?

Thanks for any help you can give.
