lol.. I've just been reading those since I have in my other hand a 82546EB based dual port PCI-X card with parallel rom on it. Of course the rom on that isn't supported either :) It's another Atmel, this time a AT49BV002AN.. trivially adding it to flashchips.c isn't getting me anywhere, so I was just investigating the board enable stuff.
your problem sounds similar. maybe you need an enable procedure too (different from the one in nicintel_spi_init),
could be..
or you dont really havethe at25f spi chip?
while I'll admit that's possible, have a look and tell me what you think http://imagebin.org/179023
i have not looked at the data sheet of (your) 82540EM (yet), but it might help if one does... ;)
That very datasheet appears to be what was used to write the driver, the link to it is in the top of nicintel_spi.c and that's where I got the hope that it could maybe work :)
please keep us updated and thanks for the at25f testing!
np, I'm happy to test stuff.
