2008-10-09bnx2: Update 5706/5708 firmware.Michael Chan
With this new firmware, the driver no longer has to modify the TCP/IP header fields when transmitting TSO packets. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-16bnx2: Pre-initialize struct cpu_reg.Benjamin Li
Instead of assigning values for the struct cpu_reg's at runtime, we already know these values at compile time. Therefore, we can use designated initializers, to initialize these structures and not have to incur this assignment cost at run-time.

2007-10-10[BNX2]: Optimize firmware loading.Michael Chan
This is a follow up to the patches from Denys Vlasenkos <vda.linux@googlemail.com> to further optimize firmware loading. 1. In bnx2_init_cpus(), we allocate memory for decompression once and use it repeatedly instead of doing this for every firmware image. 2. We eliminate the BSS and SBSS firmware sections in bnx2_fw*.h since these are always zeros. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-10[BNX2]: factor out gzip unpackerDenys Vlasenko
This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch. It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares or any other relatively big binary blobs - fonts, cursor bitmaps, whatever. Patch is run tested by Michael Chan (driver author).

2007-05-03[BNX2]: Update 5708 firmware.Michael Chan
This fixes the problem of not counting all dropped multicast packets. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[BNX2]: Re-organize firmware structures.Michael Chan
Re-organize the firmware handling code and declarations a bit to make the code more compact. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-12-02[BNX2]: Fix Xen problem.Michael Chan
This fixes the problem of not receiving packets in the Xen bridging environment. The Xen script sets the device's MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and puts the device in promiscuous mode. The firmware had problem receiving all packets in this configuration. New firmware and setting the PROM_VLAN bit when in promiscuous mode will fix this problem.

2006-06-17[BNX2]: Use compressed firmwareMichael Chan
Change bnx2_fw.h to use compressed text for all CPU images. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-01-23[BNX2]: Update version and copyright yearMichael Chan
Update version to 1.4.31 and add 2006 copyright. Skip the last digit when reporting the firmware version. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-23[BNX2]: Fix UDP checksum verificationMichael Chan
Fix TCP/UDP checksum verification. Use status bits in the buffer descriptor instead of the checksum value to verify rx checksum. Using the checksum value will be incorrect if the UDP packet has zero in the UDP checksum field. Firmware update required for this fix.
