The Intel library has been ported to allow use of NPE ethernet ports
for RedBoot. It has not been ported to eCos proper although it is
probably not much more work to get there.

An .epk with this port is available from Intel:

  http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixp425swr1.htm

It comes in two parts. There is library code intended to run on the XScale
core and there is a separate file containing the microcode for the NPE
engines. The library code is licensed under the RHEPL and the firmware
is under a somewhat restrictive Intel proprietary license.
