I just noticed that CONFIG_FMAN_V3L isn't set in the T1040 def config 
files (t1040_32bit_smp_defconfig  and t1040_64bit_smp_defconfig)

My RDB kernel image is obviously in need of a config patch considering 
this and that it's pulling in some T4240 integration errata (see 
previous email I sent on this list).

I hope to have a patch next week to get my RDB network running a little 
smoother.
