By making the changes suggested by russell, I now have a working ether3
card. People who are having problems should replace the definitions of
__out[bwl] in linux/include/asm-arm/arch-rpc/io.h with the ones from
arch-arc. My current kernel (RiscPC, Ether3, IDE disc) is available
from http://pocket.fluff.org/~mrw/linux/arm/vmlinux-2.2.7 if anyone
is interested. It's working for Julian Brown already :-)
P.S. One gotcha for people using the RedHat 3.0.3 based distrib; 2.2
uses different major numbers for pty's, you will need an updated MAKEDEV.
I wasn't sure where to find one, so I just used the one out of my pc's
/dev - you can get that from .../linux/arm/MAKEDEV.
