<TITLE>NET_POLL missing in the new ibm_emac driver?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I was having so many problems with the 2.6.14 (old) emac driver that I<BR>
backported the new one from 2.6.15. It works great... until I tried to<BR>
use KGDBOE with it. Then I got:<BR>
<BR>
kgdboe: eth1 doesn't support polling, aborting.<BR>
<BR>
Looking around I see that I need the driver to support the<BR>
poll_controller method in the net device, and the new driver doesn't<BR>
seem to do that.<BR>
<BR>
I see the old implementation of this method, but of course it uses<BR>
interfaces that no longer exist so I can't use that directly. It seems<BR>
like a small change but I'm not really familiar with the implementation<BR>
of the ibm_emac driver; does anyone have a patch for the new driver to<BR>
provide this feature?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
