I hope. you can pull his rep. without problems on current 2.6.15-rc4. DMA is a problem, because the implementation from Freescale use binary data, and has some dirty points. This would never be included in the mainstream kernel. Sylvian has included the new DMA .. works fine for FEC. If someone get this new implementtion running with AC97 or PCI would be fine.
