Thanks for the hint Mike, it seems the thread there has died, and the work left incomplete however. But it gives a head start to complete it. The main issue I had is already proposed in that thread: rename the old driver and make a new one :)
Then that seems like the right approach. Create the new driver, port the existing boards to use it and see if anybody cares. If somebody responds, you've found a tester. If not, there may be some boards in the tree that compile fine but don't run. Not a problem I'd lose much sleep over.
Hello Ben, I can rename the current driver to like "enc28j60_lpc2292.c" and make the two affected boards use it, so they still compile and work. I can't do those boards' maintainers work and add the required code to use the new driver and make a generic spi framework for the lpc2292. They currently use a very private spi approach. Or I call the new driver something like "enc28j60_generic.c". I am definitely not going to port the existing two lpc2292 boards to use the new enc28j60 driver. Reinhard
