98715* series.
The MX98715AEC-[C,E] use a different location in the serial eerom for
LED control, and programming it with the original location's values
caused unpredictable behavior.
Also, start integrating fixes where media changes on an adapter
under load may fail. There's more work to be done here, but I need
to sort out our internal changes a little more carefully.
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.
