2007-05-04m68k: macmace fixesFinn Thain
Fix a race condition in the transmit code, where the dma interrupt could update the free tx buffer count concurrently and wedge the tx queue. Fix the misuse of the rx frame status and rx frame length registers: no more "fifo overrun" errors caused by the OFLOW bit being tested in the frame length register (instead of the status register), and no more missed packets due to incorrect length taken from status register (instead of the frame length register). Fix a panic (skb_over_panic BUG) caused by allocating and then copying an incoming packet while the packet length register was changing. Cut-and-paste the reset code from the powermac mace driver (mace.c), so the NIC functions when MacOS does not initialise it (important for anyone wanting to use the Emile boot loader). Cut-and-paste the error counting and timeout recovery code from mace.c. Fix over allocation of rx buffer memory (it's page order, not page count). Converted to driver model. Converted to DMA API. Since I've run out of ways to make it fail, and since it performs well now, promote the driver from EXPERIMENTAL status. Tested on both quadra 840av and 660av.

2007-04-28ucc_geth: migrate ucc_geth to phylibKim Phillips
migrate ucc_geth to use the common phylib code. There are several side effects from doing this: o deprecate 'interface' property specification present in some old device tree source files in favour of a split 'max-speed' and 'interface-type' description to appropriately match definitions in include/linux/phy.h. Note that 'interface' property is still honoured if max-speed or interface-type are not present (backward compatible). o compile-time CONFIG_UGETH_HAS_GIGA is eliminated in favour of probe time speed derivation logic. o adjust_link streamlined to only operate on maccfg2 and upsmr.r10m, instead of reapplying static initial values related to the interface-type. o Addition of UEC MDIO of_platform driver requires platform code add 'mdio' type to id list prior to calling of_platform_bus_probe (separate patch). o ucc_struct_init introduced to reduce ucc_geth_startup complexity.

Current tc35815 driver is very obsolete and less maintained for a long time. Replace it with a new driver based on one from CELF patch archive. Major advantages of CELF version (version 1.23, for kernel 2.6.10) are: * Independent of JMR3927. (Actually independent of MIPS, but AFAIK the chip is used only on MIPS platforms) * TX4938 support. * 64-bit proof. * Asynchronous and on-demand auto negotiation. * High performance on non-coherent architecture. * ethtool support. * Many bugfixes and cleanups. And improvoments since version 1.23 are: * TX4939 support. * NETPOLL support. * NAPI support. (disabled by default) * Reduce memcpy on receiving. * PM support. * Many cleanups and bugfixes.

Previously, you'd need to manually select UCC_FAST if you want any "fast" UCC devices, such as Gigabit Ethernet.

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>

Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module. Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000.

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.

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.
