Performance of this card is quite poor on my PS/2 with 386DX, like 100KB/s
at best, but as low as 5KB/s when transferring bigger files due to
packet overruns. It would be good to revisit this later, probably by
teaching the ic code to use RX Early.
have _detach() functions:
Ensure that softc keeps state about whether the attach succeeded,
and make the detach function return immediately if the attach did
not complete.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
or memspace is unexpected, failed to map iospace or failed to configure
the controller properly.
- Disestablish an interrupt handler if failed to enable card.
No DMA is wired up, it has a shared memory interface, and a FIFO buffer
which can be used to speed up PIO transfers. (The latter two are
PCMCIA-specific speed hacks to deal hide the performance lossage from
using a PCMCIA->PCI bridge internally.)
the 3Com 3c905-TX and 3c905-T4. Fix handling of the MII on the
3c595-MII and 3c597-MII (can't talk to the PHYs on these cards; just
use "manual" for the external MII port).
Fixes kern/4782 (Chris Demetriou).
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
to prepare for if_media, and to support EISA 3c59x cards:
* change epconfig() to take a short that encodes the chipset
type (3c509, or Demon/Vortex/Boomerang).
* add distinct 3c509 and Demon/Vortex/Boomerang media-sense
functions to back end.
* Add EISA match/attach support for the 3c592 and 3c597
(Demon) cards as well as the 3c509-comatibl EISA 3c509/3c579.
* Assume that ISA and ISA PnP cards are 3c509-style, until
proof to the contrary (e.g. large packet support).
Tested on 3c595, 3c590, and 3c509b. Not tested on 3c515 or Demon.
CONFIG_CNTRL bits by making the "conn" argument to epconfig()
a u_int, not a u_int16_t, and by defining 100mbit media
bits in the upper 16 bits.
A redesigned interface that fixes this properly is in the pipeline.
For now, we really only need 8 bits of media type.
* Add bogus definitions for 100mbit transcievers, to be set in the
"conn" argument to ep_config(). Should really use the same bits
as in EP_W0_CONFIG_CTRL bits, but I don't know what bits the 3c515
&c use for 100mbit media.
* Define bitflags for 100Mbit transceiver options in ep_connectors.
* Add definitions of powerup/powerdown commands. for interfaces with
power management. Should send a powerup after APM resume?
* Add definition of fragment-busmaster (vortex) START_DMA command.
* Add definition of PCI configuration-space media-present bits.
(really just EP_W3_RESET_OPTIONS remapped into pci config space.)
* Add comments describing what the #define's above are used for.
* Add a slot in the softc, ep_pktlenshift, to indicate that
a board implements ``large packets'' (FDDI-sized frames) and
therefore implicitly shifts the argument to packet-length commands
by two bits to fit a 13-bit length in an 11-bit command argument field.
* Change the reset of station-mask filterto be independent of bus-type
(e.g.,. for 3c515)
* Replace the "2044" constant used to disable TX threshold interrupts
on 3c509-generation cards with a #define. Use 2047 instead,
since that works on the large-packet cards (Vortex, Demon, Boomerang)
and 2044 doesn't.
* Add code to epconfing to probe for large-packet support,
set the softc appropriately, and shift packet sizes in commands
by ep_pktlenshift to compensate for the implicit shift.
* Tweak the epconfig() code to avoid hanging on startup.
Set the Tx threshold to interrupt when there's space for
a maximal-sized ether frame, then do epinit() then epstop(),
instead of just the Tx and Rx reset. Required on at least a 3c595.
Tested on a 3c595, but not on 3c509-generation hardware.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
bus-independent core driver. Tested on all three bus types, including
an isa 3c509 masquerading as an eisa device (use ep* at eisa? slot ? in
your kernel config file to catch this one).
XXX Driver still needs to be converted to <machine/bus.h>
