plip broken on ppc

[Olaf Hering <olh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the plip driver doesnt work on ppc. The ip address of the local machine
is screwed up. Any hints how to fix it?
The kernel is a 2.2.17pre6.

ifconfig plip0 192.168.2.2 irq 9 io_addr 0x3bc pointopoint 192.168.2.1 up

local:

plip0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:02:02  
          inet addr:0.0.3.188  P-t-P:192.168.2.1  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0

That works fine on an i386 machine.
No special dmesg output.

parport0: PC-style at 0x3bc, irq 9 [SPP]
parport_probe: failed
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
NET3 PLIP version 2.3-parport gniibe@xxxxxxxxx
plip0: Parallel port at 0x3bc, using IRQ 9
