Hint about Ethernet:
The at91sam7x eth is similar, but not identical to at91rm9200 eth.
I think they are similar enough so that the driver can be based on one
common source file (with conditional compilation). I think this would be
better than two seperate drivers. Whoever writes an eth driver for one of the
chips should have a look at the other chip.
The unofficial ecos at91rm9200 port has an eth driver, but it needs a rewrite.
I was going to do a rewrite but I have not found the time by now.
Bye,
Wolfgang
