I'm baffled. With earlier kernels i've been able to use the Marvell 1gbit ethernetport, but this kernel doesn't even seem to find it in the pci device listing. Also the drivername seemed to have changed a bit from mv64340_eth.ko to mv643xx_eth.ko.

lspci listing is a bit weird ;

as you can see in that list my guess is that it sees the System Controller twice there where as the other should be the ethernet. So the kernels pci card database is probably to blame?

i'll try re-emerging pci-tools, but probably that doesn't help.

pci-utils that is...and looking the entries with lspci it looks like this:

Identical ID's and all :-/

This is the second report about this problem, which is why I haven't marked 2.6.11 stable yet. I'm going to look into this asap (I've been waiting for a new patchset from gentoo-sources), it's probably just a case of me using the wrong/old patches (2.6.11 is using a new driver for the gigabit port).
In the meantime just use the latest 2.6.10 sources. 2.6.12 (vanilla) should support the Pegasos so when it is released I will probably retire the pegasos-sources kernel branch.

Thank you for the extremely detailed bug report!

Ok. Will wait for a new release and revert back to older kernel

heh. wouldn't have noticed this unless just now i needed two network interfaces.

Would be nice if you gave details of what that exact kernel that did work
nicely before is.

The marvell gigabit ethernet is no pci thingy, but accesible directly from the
northbridge internal mmio space, which sucks bigtime but hey.

This means we have to map the pci id of the northbridge for getting the driver
to work, which is what i did, and the code has been submitted and accepted
upstream for inclusion in 2.6.12. The only missing piece i need to work on is
hotplug support, but you can load mv643xx_eth by hand in /etc/modules or
whatever, or use debian's version of discover2 which should know about it

What where your problems exactly ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther

I don't know about gentoo but the 2 patches in the debian kernel ppc patch package works fine... here - applied on plain ftp.kernel.org linux-2.6.11.6.

I just uploaded 2.6.11-r3. The gigabit driver should work (I'm running on it right now).
