[ECOS] MBX860 network interface

[ECOS] MBX860 network interface

[Peter Weatherall]

Does anyone know what level of functionality is currently available with
ECOS for the network interface on the Motorola MBX860 and the MBX860 board
in general ? 
Has anyone tried using the FreeBSD tcp/ip port by Tristan Gingold with this
board and is there an ethernet driver somewhere ... 
Thanks 
Peter Weatherall

I did, and it works pretty well. However, the code is not clean enough
to be released as we didn't work on it lately. If you want to work
with us on this, please contact me and dupouy@inf.enst.fr in private.

I'm sure that other people on this list would be interested in
following any work being done on the stack. Give that the list is so
low-volume at the moment, it shouldn't matter with a few technical
discussions here.

If we find that the volume increases beyond what people are willing
to accept from a generic list, we'll create a specific mailing list
for the discussion of TCP/IP stack implementation issues.

Cheers,
Jesper
