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.
- Add a comment about the Macronix MX98713 -- it's almost exactly like
a 21140A, and doens't have the Nway registers that the other Macronix
chips have.
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.
