83d98b401c remove the broken OAKNET driver
The OAKNET driver:
- has been marked as BROKEN for more than two years and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

bf34570729 driver for Silan SC92031 netdev
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

89e5785fc8 [PATCH] Atmel MACB ethernet driver
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.

5e123b844a [PATCH] Add tsi108/9 On Chip Ethernet device driver support
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.

6c3561b0c1 [PATCH] beginning of 8390 fixes - generic and arm/etherh
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.

5a4faa8737 [PATCH] qla3xxx NIC driver
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.

253af4235d [NET]: Add IFB (Intermediate Functional Block) network device.
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.

15d014d131 [PATCH] intel ixp2000 network driver
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.

b3f9b92a6e [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module
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.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.

from the SysKonnect version of the sk98lin driver.
It should support all the Yukon2 chipsets that are available
in many current Intel and AMD motherboards.

The driver does support ethtool, tx and rx checksum, and
tcp segmentation offload.  But it has only been tested for
a short while and is known to stop receiving under heavy load.

ethernet drivers to remain as ignorant as is reasonable of the connected
PHY's design and operation details.

890e8d0a3d [PATCH] sis190: resurrection
Raise the sis190 driver from the dead

The driver handles the integrated network device found on SiS 965L
chipset. It follows the classical (non-napi) interrupt-driven model
and provides minimal ethtool support.

The code comes from a heavy cleanup/rewrite of the original code
which was removed from the kernel on 14/04/2004. Since the r8169
driver does not work too bad and there will probably be (at least)
a few months of improvements/testing/fixing, I made the code as
close as possible to the r8169 one.

Pascal Chapperon <pascal.chapperon@wanadoo.fr> deserves some special
credit for testing and bug-catching. Many thanks to Lars Vahlenberg
as well.

- my3126.c is unused (because t1_my3126_ops isn't used anywhere)
- what are the EXTRA_CFLAGS in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile for?
- $(cxgb-y) in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile seems to be unneeded
- completely unused global functions:
  - espi.c: t1_espi_get_intr_counts
  - sge.c: t1_sge_get_intr_counts
- the following functions can be made static:
  - sge.c: t1_espi_workaround
  - sge.c: t1_sge_tx
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_read
  - subr.c: __t1_tpi_write
  - subr.c: t1_wait_op_done

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.

A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4

Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
        t1_pci_read_config_4
        adapter_name
        t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.

Why have useless dead code like:

/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+       u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+    1. Read master interrupt register.
+    2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+    3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

Jeff said:

step 1:  kill all the OS wrappers.

 And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
 really supported?  Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
 struct net_device.

From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk.  Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.

- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors

5aa83a4c0a [PATCH] remove two obsolete net drivers
The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available
  CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to
  select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before).
  
  Since it seems noone misses these drivers, this patch removes them.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
