[ECOS] Still can make progress running the SMSC91C111 driver in interrupt mode.

["Joe Porthouse" <jporthouse at toptech dot com>]

To recap,
	My target is a custom PXA255 board with a SMSC LAN91C111 Ethernet
controller.

	I have gotten past my hardware addressing problems and can now
successfully run Redboot with the smsc_lan91cxx driver accessing the
Ethernet controller with 32 bit access in polled mode.

	I can NOT get the driver to work in interrupt mode in my
application, or any application.

	I have been attempting to run a simple eCos test program
(test/server_test.c) with no success.

	I have modified the test/server_test.c program to create a main() so
the top function looks like:
int main(void)
{
    printf("Start Main\n");

    // Create a main thread, so we can run the scheduler and have time
'pass'
    cyg_thread_create(10,                // Priority - just a number
                      net_test,          // entry
                      0,                 // entry parameter
                      "Network test",    // Name
                      &stack[0],         // Stack
                      STACK_SIZE,        // Size
                      &thread_handle,    // Handle
                      &thread_data       // Thread data structure
            );

    printf("Resume Thread\n");
    cyg_thread_resume(thread_handle);  // Start it

    printf("Starting Scheduler\n");
    cyg_scheduler_start();

    printf("Main Done\n");  // execution never gets here!!!
    for(;;);      

return 0;
}

	BTW, is it necessary to start a task if you are only intended to
test the loopback (ping) functionality?  My execution also never gets past
the cyg_schedule_start().  Does this indicate a problem with the scheduler?

not software errors):

	Looking at the stats I can see that I get two interrupts firing, and
that's it.  I can also see two ARPs are sent.  When I ping the target,
nothing is returned, and no new interrupts are generated.

	Any advice on where should I go from here?  Does the smsc_lan91C111
driver work with interrupts?  With 32 bit access?

	Does anyone have any known working configuration files that support
a smsc_lan91C111 in interrupt mode with 32 bit access?

Thanks,
