[Linux-ATM-General] Announcement: MPHY now supported inmpc860sar
Quick question to you all... I walked through Pete's 8260 ATM driver, and I saw (as far as I can understand) that Pete's driver is set to support single PHY mode. So, the question here is: do we need Rodolfo Giometti's patch to be applied to mpc8260 ATM driver? It is obvious that different set-up should be applied for mpc8260 ATM driver MPHY mode anyway... Thank you for answers in advance.

(e.g. 8260 and the likes) these guys have 2 Utopia-II ports with support for up to 31 devices per port. Coupled with this software, it could make for a highly efficient DSLAM. - Original Message - From: Alex Zeffertt ajz at cambridgebroadband.com Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Announcement: MPHY now supported in mpc860sar It is currently only supported in SAR mode, and in that mode there is an upper limit of 4 UTOPIA phys. However, there's no reason that support can't be added for MPHY in ESAR mode - in which the limit is 31 phys. I suspect that adding such support would be easier now that Rodolfo has done most of the work. PS I'm not the expert on this. Rodolfo's sourceforge username is zaigor.

Zoran I wouldn't imagine that the patch would apply to the mpc8260 driver and work. However, it would probably be useful to look at it for pointers if you were thinking of porting MPHY support to the mpc8260. BTW, to get the patch try cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mpc860sar checkout -A atm # Top of tree is now MPHY cd atm cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mpc860sar diff -u -r single-utopia-phy # compare with SPHY branch Alex On Thu, 2004-02-05 at 12:54, Zoran Stojsavljevic wrote: Quick question to you all...
