I think the problem is in my compile/test environment. I have a debian box set up for compiling and testing on but everytime I try to compile this macphy driver and then copy it over to the Soekris board, it won't work. It says that it "disagrees about verision of symbol struct_module". I'm assuming that that is because I compiled it on one machine that's slightly different from my working environment.
Do you have any plans for putting up instructions on how to set up a proper test environment? I saw something on the wiki, but no content yet.
Thanks for all that you do!

I downloaded the driver and there is no kernel patch. I looks like I
need to build it manually and copy/overlay the kernel module over the
