[ECOS] RedBoot and interrupts

[Grant Edwards]

I've got an Intel IXP425 eval board that runs RedBoot.  The 425
has two built-in Ethernet interfaces, but RedBoot will only use
a third EEPRO-100 PCI board. Upon investigating the use of the
two onboard Ethernet interfaces, it seems it is not practical
to operate the built-in Ethernet controlelrs in polled mode.

What sort of problems are to be expected if an Ethernet driver
uses interrupts under RedBoot?
