Does anyone know if a linux driver (2.6 kernel) already exists for the Microchip ENC28J60 ? I’m trying to provide ethernet to an existing ARM9 embedded linux device using the Olimex ENC28J60-H dev board.
Thanks!
ARM9 with onboard Linux usually comes with it’s driver for an specific ethernet chip. I dont suspect that anybody has an driver under Linux for the ENC28J60. Plus the ENC28J60 uses an SPI interface, correct me if I’m wrong. Which is more intended for smaller microcontrollers, which ARM9 certainly arn’t. I’m sorry that I’ve to dissapoint you.
Have fun
I’ve got a working driver but haven’t had time to put the final pieces together and post it.
hi,
I have implemented enc28j60 driver file into the 2.6.24 kernel, but when Inside enc28j60 chipset init() api its giving the kernel panic and hangs the booting.Can you please suggest me to overcome this

at some point in your code you are referencing a variable that is null.
you might try upgrading your kernel to 2.6.25 which includes the enc28j60 based on my original 2.4 kernel driver.
if you are stuck with the 2.6.24 kernel, it is easy to back port the enc28j60 driver from 2.6.25.
