Hallo,

macb.c is known to work for AT91 and AVR32.

Why was at91_emac.c introduced into mainstream?

By name it suggests it is designed to work with AT91 (only)?

I don't think it is desireable to have to drivers doing the same task.

Unless someone has a good point why we need at91_emac.c I propose to remove it from mainstream.

Best Regards,
Reinhard

If they really are for the same hardware block, then I agree. For this, though, you'll need to get many testers and 'Acked-by's.
