To everybody who is interested in debugging ep93xx_eth.[ch]:

With ethtool support, debug messages became runtime configureable.
The messagelevel can be displayed / set with

# show info, including message level
 ethtool eth0

# set message level
 ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0       # very silent
 ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0xffff  # very verbose (debug)


For further details on how to select specific messages, see[1]
and "add" resp. "or" together the various NETIF_MSG_ bits you're
interested in.

[1]
include/linux/netdevice.h
drivers/net/arm/ep93xx_eth.c

People who don't like messages like "Rx STOP requested" can
silence them without touching any source code, now.

While the default behavoir may differ from 2.6.11.7, I hope that it is
still somewhat reasonable. Feel free to send patches if you think it isn't.

Thanks
