RE: [ECOS] ixp42x NPE networking build issue.

[<vijay dot peshkar at wipro dot com>]

Hi Jerzy,

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that such a driver already exists
For non-interrupt mode?. Am unable to locate it.

The intel site no longer maintains redboot for IXP425. Its all 2800 now.
And, even in this 2800's redboot, I guess I will have to extract the
same and
Port it to IXP425 and also to run in my non-redboot build?.

Another alternative am thinking of is to check if netbsd has a npe
driver.

Regards,
Vijay

Discussion was about extending driver to interrupt mode but if you use
Redboot you don't need such feature.

No driver has been ported to Redboot - below it's mail from Mark Salter
(author of this port) about as I suppose similar question.
