You sounded a bit aggressive to me, and you are wrong again: The  IXP
port does support PCI:

Here you go again. You should not insult people who you ask for help.
I know EXACTLY what I'm speaking of. See here:

Seems it's you who has no clue.

I don't blame you for that - I cannot expect that you spend  so  much
time with U-Boot like me, but then you should rather think twice what
you write.

I cannot help you if you continue to ignore what I'm trying  to  tell
you.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
