Network driver again

[Nick.SIMON at syntegra.bt.co.uk (Nick.SIMON at syntegra.bt.co.uk)]

I recall having a similar problem some months ago when adding a second
network driver.  IIRC it was all to do with the name of the device.

In your attach function, you should have something like:

  ifp->if_name = "eth";

while in the file networkconfig.h the rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig should contain
"eth1" (or "eth2" for a second interface) like this:


static struct rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig netdriver_config = {
  "eth1",                            /* May be RTEMS_BSP_NETWORK_DRIVER_NAME
*/
                                     /* you defined in bsp.h */
  RTEMS_BSP_NETWORK_DRIVER_ATTACH,   /* attach function */
... and so on.


Of course you could be using some other name than "eth".

Best wishes,
