Did you apply the nios2 patches as in the wiki? 

the file linux-2.6.x/usr/Makefile need the patch, or you can look at linux-2.6.19 or linux-2.6.20 .

Applied patch uClinux-dist-20070130-nios2-02.diff.gz everything works find, thank you for your time. 

 Just curious: would all the updates in lower version of patch all included in high version? like uClinux-dist-20070130-nios2-02.diff.gz > uClinux-dist-20060803-nios2-02.diff.gz  Cause I need both Ethernet & USB.  Maybe can help newbies by explaining the differece usage of all those patchs.  I didn&#39;t see Changelog of uClinux-dist-20070130-nios2-02.diff.gz

These nios2 patches has been submitted to uClinux-dist, and merged. So the last patch was smaller, and just some minor update after the release. Don&#39;t use older patches on newer dist release, or it will be over patched.
