Ok, i think that did it, and i have a 200kb diff against 2.6.11 :) Many of
those are just 64340-> 643xx replacements though.
What are your plans for mainline inclusion of the rest of those, and is it ok
to work directly with your stuff ? Do you have any experimental or dangerous
parts in the above ? And did you ever get the gigabit ethernet port working on
a powerpc board ? Or are there some Kconfig parts i have missed ?
Friendly,
