[U-Boot] Support in u-boot for PCI-Express NIC
Hi,
Is there support under u-boot for newer pcie network cards? Under drivers/net, I notice that there is the e1000 and sk98 network drivers. Unfortunately, these seem a bit dated and the pcie x1 nic/s I am trying to use are not supported (checked the device ids). Pointers on any other supported pcie nic will be helpful.
Thanks, ~Sri

At least the e1000 has been successfully tested not so long ago.

Thanks Wolfgang. That's good news. Can you pl point me to the pci-express card/device id that was tested recently (and/or the mails that talk about it)? ~Sri

82541 is pci based e1000 silicon. For pcie based e1000 chip, extra code is needed. Roy

You are right, my memory was wrong. The testing I remembered was done under Linux only for this very reason.

I have began to port e1000 pcie driver to u-boot. 82572EI is used for this work. I just curious that is there anyone else in this list to do the similar work previously. Roy
