I'd like to add platform specific MAC address specification to the Ethernet driver for the Samsung S34510x (or as it's called in the eCos distribution, KS32C5000, the old Samsung name.) I have a few questions.
1. Looking at the rest of the eCos drivers, there seems to be a common naming convention, i.e., "if_xxxxx.c". When I add the new functionality, I could rename the source file, and reformat it to the standard eCos convention. Any thoughts on this?
2. The docs point to 'cl/cs8900a' as an example. Many of the other drivers use similar techniques to set the MAC address. Is 'cl/cs8900a' the model to use, or is one of the other drivers a better example?
3. What was the design rational for the run-time selection of the MAC address source? Shouldn't this have been a compile time issue?
