           Summary: New driver: atl2 for Attansic L2 ethernet chipset
           Product: Mandriva Linux
           Version: Cooker
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: high
         Component: Kernel
        AssignedTo: kernel@mandriva.com
        ReportedBy: awilliamson@mandriva.com
         QAContact: bugs@mandrivalinux.org


Attansic has got a new network chipset being used on some motherboards, L2 (you
may remember we had to add the atl1 driver for their L1 chipset to the 2007.1
kernel post-release). They've used their usual 'email the code to someone
random' release policy which is probably why we never heard of it before.

The driver from Attansic - it's under the GPL - is available from this Ubuntu
bug thread:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/77725

along with a patch for kernel 2.6.22. As far as I can see, it's not been
submitted to LKML by anyone yet.

Can we incorporate it into the first update kernel for 2008 and possibly do it
for a 2007.1 kernel update also? Thanks.
