Hi John,

The Xilinx Ethernetlite driver that is available at present doesnt work fine..

It doesnt have a mac-address assigned to it... Since the mac-address is not available, ping doesnt work.

As a result , when i was using it, i had to hard code a mac-address to it in the adapter.c file

In Adapter.c :

in the function

int static xemaclite_open ( ...... ) {

.....

before calling the function XEmaclite_SetMacAddress(&lp->Emaclite, dev-> dev_addr);

pls hard code a Mac-address like this...

================

dev->dev_addr[0] = 0x00;

dev->dev_addr[1] = 0x11;

dev->dev_addr[2] = 0x22;

dev->dev_addr[3] = 0x33;

dev->dev_addr[4] = 0x44;

dev->dev_addr[5] = 0x55;

John, do u have any other idea than hard coding???

Regards,

Ujwal
