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?
Well, the board config files should match what's on the board. We don't ship the board with an RTL or Intel NIC, therefore the config file should not enable them. With your logic, we should just enable ALL of the NICs that work.
If a customer inserts an RTL or Intel NIC, he can add those lines if he wants. Otherwise, all you're doing is bloating the binary.
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?
Wouldn't it have been nice if they built in support for a few of the most common ones? :-)
