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.
this by frobbing the 10TCTL register minimally, toggling only the bit we
care about (and hoping that link-capability advertisement happens correctly).
MX98715 can talk to the network now.
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).
- Only use 16 longword bursts.
- Reset the interface for receive filter setups that don't come from
the reset path.
Hi, Jason is getting really tired of broken clone chips, and really wishes
real 21140 boards were still available, because the DEC chips seem to work
