BeagleBoard-xM: Ethernet device driver for kernel 2.6.36

Hi friends,

I would like to mount a rootfs over NFS via the Ethernet connector
available on my beagleBoard-xM.

The beagleBoard-xM uses the SMSC LAN9514device to provide ethernet
capability and I noticed that any network device support is available
for LAN9514 in the kernel release 2.6.36.

Does anyone have kernel patches to add network device support for
LAN9514 into my kernel sources ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Cedric Madianga.

Hi all,

The SMSC LAN 8514 device is supported in the kernel release 2.6.36.
The device driver to be used is the SMSC95XX located in drivers/usb/
net.
We can select it via menuconfig by following the path below:
->Device Drivers
  -> Network device support
    -> USB Network Adapters
      -> Muti-purpose USB Networking Framework

Regards,

Cedric Madianga.

Hi Cedric,

2.6.36 has support for LAN9514, Just enable it in network drivers
("USB Network Adapters" section) and enable ethernet support for USB
gadgets (device drivers -> USB support -> USB gadgets).

Cheers,
Max.
