cardbus_get_capability() [mirror change already made to if_tlp_pci.c]
- if_tlp_cardbus.c: If we don't find an ISV SROM, try to grab the
Ethernet address from the CIS.
- if_tlp_cardbus.c: set CardBus cards to store-and-forward mode from
the get-go.
- Put the TxThresh tables in tulipvar.h, and use them in the CardBus
and PCI front-ends to go to store-and-forward mode.
- Document the Xircom X3201-3 clone a little more.
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.
more efficient on genuine DEC chips, but some clones apparently Lose Badly
if you use chain mode. To further complicate things, some clones *only*
do chain mode, so make this whole mess conditional.
- The Xircom doesn't bring itself out of reset; we have to do it.
- The Xircom requires transmit buffers to be aligned to 4 bytes, too.
Partially from Rafal Boni (though the Tx buffer alignment issue is
handled much differently in this version).
this consistently, and it doesn't always work even when the chip
supports it.
- Make sure things DMA'd to the chip that the chip interprets are in
little-endian mode.
add support for the DECchip 21142/21143 SIA/SYM media. Make the Macronix
98713 behave like a 21140A, and the 98713A and later behave like a 21143.
Nuke all of the Macronix-specific Nway code, as it will be identical to
the 21143 Nway code once it is written.
- 82C115 has a 128-bit multicast hash table, not 512-bit.
- Correct the way the MAC address is read from the SROM, after re-reading
the MX98715A Application Note.
Other semi-related changes:
- Differentiate between MX98715 and MX98715A.
- Improve the Macronix link-up/link-down detection.
boards which use MII for media attachment.
ISV SROM format information lifted from Matt Thomas's `de' driver.
Thanks to Dave Sainty for experimenting w/ his 21140A MII boards, and
for supplying a fix to the MII bit-bang code (PR #8382).
support for the ISV SROM format used in the 2114{1,1A,2,3}. Note, like
the 21040, auto-sense is not yet supported for the 21041.
Add a "pre-init" hook, which will be used for the 2114x and PNIC (currently)
which allows chip-specific code to set up and write OPMODE before the
chip is reset. This is necessary in order for the chip's internal
pathways to get initialized properly for MII/SYM/PCS/SIA media attachments.
Thanks to Dave Sainty for the hint from the `de' driver that inspired the
pre-init hook.
- Fix the SROM checksum routine.
- Add code to parse the old DEC Address ROM SROM format.
- Rearrange the statchg routines a bit, to make them consistent with one
another.
- Add support for the DECchip 21040. XXX No support for media autosense
yet, and no support for any of the multi-port boards yet.
rewrite of the driver for the DECchip 21x4x Ethernet chips, and a variety
of clones.
Currently, the driver supports the Winbond 89C840F (this works pretty
well), and the Lite-On PNIC (e.g. NetGear PCI boards), however Lite-On
support may be broken [I may simply have a busted test board].
Eventually, support for the Macronix and ASIX chips will filter into
this driver, and then, slowly, support for the genuine DEC chips,
and maybe even the DE-425 EISA model.
