2007-02-05driver for Silan SC92031 netdevCesar Eduardo Barros
This is a driver for the Silan SC92031/Rsltek 8139D NIC chip. This chip is found on at least one counterfeit Encore ENL832-TX-RENT NIC [1], which came with a mini-CD with the 2.4 driver. A slightly older version of the driver was found at [2]. The main difference between them is that the newer one has a small bugfix in the RX path, a lot of gratuitous renaming of functions, all the printable strings changed to show as a "Rsltek 8139D" [sic], and a PCI ID of 8139 instead of 2031. The driver on this patch is a rewrite of the vendor drivers (based mostly on the older one). Changes from the previous patch sent to netdev: - Use MMIO instead of PIO - Changed TX bounce buffers allocation - Use skb_copy_and_csum_dev - Several small bug fixes - Tested for more than just a few minutes each time [1] See http://www.encore-usa.com/faq.php under ENL832-TX-RENT for more information [2] Look for SL_LINUX.ZIP (which is really a .tar.gz) at http://broadbandforum.in/dataone_Intex_LAN_cardlinux-t4207-s15.html [3] To compile on 2.6.17, simply add back the last argument to the interrupt handler in two places, and copy the boolean declarations from 2.6.19 [akpm@osdl.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Cesar Eduardo Barros <cesarb@cesarb.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-12-02[PATCH] Atmel MACB ethernet driverHaavard Skinnemoen
Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module. Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200. Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet, which can be downloaded from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682 Changes since previous version: * Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through platform_data. * Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead of depending on platform_data. * Set MII/RMII mode correctly. These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with the at91 infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-12-02[PATCH] Add tsi108/9 On Chip Ethernet device driver supportZang Roy-r61911
Add tsi108/9 on chip Ethernet controller driver support. The driver code collects the feedback of previous posting form the mailing list and gives the update. MPC7448HPC2 platform in arch/powerpc uses tsi108 bridge. The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller: The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1. It uses a single Management interface to manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs). Each Ethernet port has its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface statistics. Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address filtering. In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric through a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO. Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to support the transmit and receive data flows. The Ethernet DMA channels use descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and access via the Switch Fabric. The Ethernet Controller’s DMA arbiter handles arbitration for the Switch Fabric. The Controller also has a register bus interface for register accesses and status monitor control. The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI modes. The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs. The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs. Internal data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric. Each Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage data flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the system (the descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map). These descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled with data ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty buffers ready to receive data from Ethernet.

2006-12-02[PATCH] beginning of 8390 fixes - generic and arm/etherhAl Viro
etherh and a handful of other odd drivers use different macros when building 8390.c. Since we generate a single 8390.o and then link with it, in any config with both oddball and normal 8390-based driver we will end up with breakage in at least one of them. Solution: take most of 8390.c into lib8390.c and have 8390.c, etherh.c and the rest of oddballs #include it. Helper macros are taken from 8390.h to whoever includes lib8390.c. That way odd drivers get separate instances of compiled 8390 stuff and stop stepping on each other's toes. 8390.h gets cleaned up - we don't have the cascade of ifdefs in there and are left with the stuff that can be used by any 8390-based driver. Current problems are exactly because of that cascade - we attempt to choose the set of helpers by looking at config and that, of course, doesn't work well when we have several sets needed by various drivers in our config.

2006-07-29[PATCH] qla3xxx NIC driverRon Mercer
This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts. There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx) integrated upstream as well. I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had much response from Stephen Hemminger. - Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4. - The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions. - The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across the network and iSCSI functions. This protection is mostly during chip initialization and resets, but also include link management. - The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time. This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel. It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

2006-01-09[NET]: Add IFB (Intermediate Functional Block) network device.Jamal Hadi Salim
A new device to do intermidiate functional block in a system shared manner. To use the new functionality, you need to turn on qos/classifier actions. The new functionality can be grouped as: 1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide. ifb allows for a device which can be redirected to thus providing an impression of sharing. 2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of dropping. Packets are redirected to this device using tc/action mirred redirect construct. If they are sent to it by plain routing instead then they will merely be dropped and the stats would indicate that.

2005-11-18[PATCH] intel ixp2000 network driverLennert Buytenhek
The way the hardware and firmware work is that there is one shared RX queue and IRQ for a number of different network interfaces. Due to this, we would like to process received packets for every interface in the same NAPI poll handler, so we need a pseudo-device to schedule polling on. What the driver currently does is that it always schedules polling for the first network interface in the list, and processes packets for every interface in the poll handler for that first interface -- however, this scheme breaks down if the first network interface happens to not be up, since netif_rx_schedule_prep() checks netif_running(). sky2 apparently has the same issue, and Stephen Hemminger suggested a way to work around this: create a variant of netif_rx_schedule_prep() that does not check netif_running(). I implemented this locally and called it netif_rx_schedule_prep_notup(), and it seems to work well, but it's something that probably not everyone would be happy with. The ixp2000 is an ARM CPU with a high-speed network interface in the CPU itself (full duplex 4Gb/s or 10Gb/s depending on the IXP model.) The CPU package also contains 8 or 16 (again depending on the IXP model) 'microengines', which are somewhat primitive but very fast and efficient processor cores which can be used to offload various things from the main CPU. This driver makes the high-speed network interface in the CPU visible and usable as a regular linux network device. Currently, it only supports the Radisys ENP2611 IXP board, but adding support for other board types should be fairly easy.

2005-11-08[PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption moduleMatt Domsch
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method as a PPP compressor/decompressor. This is necessary for Linux clients and servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN. This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.
