It's the only option I'm afraid. But we don't need to rewrite the whole library, what we really need is a) NPE firmware loader and NPE interface, b) Ethernet driver, c) sync serial driver, d) ATM/DSL driver. With a) and then b) being the important ones. This is much less work. One has to figure out how does it all work with NPEs, though. The code is so obscure I'm not sure if it can be called "source". > It's the complete ixp400 access library.

Is Intel going to make BSD-licensed version publicly available? It would cut some legal questions. Be it 2.0 or 2.1, the version isn't that important (it has to be written from scratch anyway, only their NPE firmware can be used but it's not GPL-related). -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
