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.
