I intend to keep RTL8139 and Intel EEPR100. They work on the board and can provide extra choices except the on board Ethernet port.
Is there any reason one wouldn't want to use the on-board ethernet port?
Not with this patch. The only reason to enable all those other boards is because the on-board ethernet port *didn't* work, so everyone had to some some PCI NIC.
Hmm, weren't you scrounging around for a certain kind of PCI NIC that your 8610 board's u-boot image supported not too long ago?
Yes. That's because the on-board ethernet was not supported.
Wouldn't it have been nice if they built in support for a few of the most common ones? :-)
And they did. But now, it's no longer necessary.
