NSA310S can't connect to network/no network interface

[bodhi]

@WarheadsSE,

I have the 320S DTS in my patch at Doozan forum. It was from user chrlee who created and tested it on the actual hardware.

I can include the dts, but does uboot on this device support loading dtb or does it have to be appended?

@moonman,

I believe this device stock u-boot does not support FDT, so the DTB has be appended. We don't have a new u-boot for it (I don't have the hardware).

ahh i misread 320s vs 310s

Woo, that's an older kernel.

[chiarpavel]

That's what I got from the downloads page. Should I look into updating the kernel? I'm not sure where to begin.

Also, I tried connecting to the network using a WiFi-USB dongle, but I created a new thread for that. I'd rather get wired to work first, and also get rid of the kernel panic on poweroff.
Thanks again for helping me out! If there's anything I can do or any info I can provide please let me know.

@chiarpavel,

Here is the Marvell website:
http://www.marvell.com/transceivers/alaska-gbe/

AFICT, they don't provide any functional or hardware specification manual that includes Alaska 88E1318. The good chance to get it working is the set of values similar to the one I posted above, but for the 88E1318:
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=8827#p46741

They probably want a NDA before they'd give us that. It's Marvell's practice, it will be a while before they publish a manual for public consumption.
