Honored ContributorVersion 2.6 Won't load SMSC 91C111 driver
Am using Nios v 1.1 and Microtronix uClinux 2.6
I have LAN91C111 support compiled into the kernel however, when booting the kernel, the SMSC driver is not loading or initializing the MAC. I am getting no messages whatsoever from the driver as the kernel boots and I see no activity on the control lines to the SMSC chip. The SMSC driver in the previous version, running under Nios I, works just fine. If I receive ANY kind of a response to this inquiry, it would be GREATLY appreciated! I would appreciate it even more if I could get any kind of information that might lead to a solution.
