2008-01-31rndis_host: Add early_init function pointer to 'struct rndis_data'.Jussi Kivilinna
Function pointer is for 'subminidrivers' that need to do work on device right after minidriver has initialized hardware. For example, rndis_wlan setting device specific configuration parameters with OID_GEN_RNDIS_CONFIG_PARAMETER right after rndis_host has initialized hardware with RNDIS_INIT.

2008-01-31iwlwifi: Fix uCode error on associationGregory Greenman
The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is received. But, when it is set, LQ cmd is still not sent to the uCode, it is done from bg_post_assoc, which is called through a workqueue. On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set, but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and the frame will not be dropped. Thus, it will be sent through which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

2008-01-31iwlwifi: initialize geo/channel information during probeReinette Chatre
The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface is brought up. Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call their cleanup routines. Fixes a few bugs: - if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring interface to be brought up. This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552 - Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed. - Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

2008-01-31b43legacy: fix MAC control and microcode initStefano Brivio
This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading the microcode. This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register. The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init(). All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not overwrite existing bits. This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist. Better safe than sorry. While at it, fix naming of MACCTL values. This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

2008-01-31[net] Gracefully handle shared e1000/1000e driver PCI ID'sLinus Torvalds
Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are enabled. This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver. Thus allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

2008-01-28igb: PCI-Express 82575 Gigabit Ethernet driverAuke Kok
We are pleased to announce a new Gigabit Ethernet product and its driver to the linux community. This product is the Intel(R) 82575 Gigabit Ethernet adapter family. Physical adapters will be available to the public soon. These adapters come in 2- and 4-port versions (copper PHY) currently. Other variants will be available later. The 82575 chipset supports significantly different features that warrant a new driver. The descriptor format is (just like the ixgbe driver) different. The device can use multiple MSI-X vectors and multiple queues for both send and receive. This allows us to optimize some of the driver code specifically as well compared to the e1000-supported devices. This version of the igb driver no lnger uses fake netdevices and incorporates napi_struct members for each ring to do the multi- queue polling. multi-queue is enabled by default and the driver supports NAPI mode only. All the namespace collisions should be gone in this version too. The register macro's have been condensed to improve readability.
