Just got back off my holidays (hence the delayed reply to this one....).

I'm using the SMSC91C111 part with LWIP (on a PPC405 based IBM Vulcan) with no 
problems......I'd post our driver, but as it's just based on code poached 
from the one in IBM's OpenBIOS code, there's no real benefit to it......

It's not as straightforward to program for as the Davicom part (but I didn't 
make the decision on which chip to use - apparently we got a good deal on 
volume pricing that made the SMSC part more attractive).

Laters,
Craig.
