DE2 Ethernet from a custom design

you should find a line like this in the boot message, where the chip is probed.

<dm9ks> i/o: 80900090, vid: 90000a46

you can use "cat /proc/kmsg" to display the kernel message.

if the chip is not probed, you should check your logic.

if the chip is detected, try

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:07:ed:0a:03:29

you can see a sample de2 boot message in the wiki page.

Unfortunatly I do not see the <DM9KS> I/O: 80900090, VID: 90000a46 line at startup neither in the kmsg.

I am pretty sure the kernel is compiled with DM9000 support as I followed your wiki and I got compile error as my device was previously named ethernet instead of dm9000 now.

When you are saying check your logic, what do you mean exactly ?? My logic is present in my design, I just checked.
