2007-10-10Device tree aware EMAC driverDavid Gibson
Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer. This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck). This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically: - Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API. Axon needs this. - Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.

2007-10-10[E1000E]: New pci-express e1000 driver (currently for ICH9 devices only)Auke Kok
This driver implements support for the ICH9 on-board LAN ethernet device. The device is similar to ICH8. The driver encompasses code to support 82571/2/3, es2lan and ICH8 devices as well, but those device IDs are disabled and will be "lifted" from the e1000 driver over one at a time once this driver receives some more live time.

2007-10-10[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.Pavel Emelyanov
Veth stands for Virtual ETHernet. It is a simple tunnel driver that works at the link layer and looks like a pair of ethernet devices interconnected with each other. Mainly it allows to communicate between network namespaces but it can be used as is as well. The newlink callback is organized that way to make it easy to create the peer device in the separate namespace when we have them in kernel. This implementation uses another interface - the RTM_NRELINK message introduced by Patric. Bug fixes from Daniel Lezcano.

2007-05-09Move USB network drivers to drivers/net/usb.Jeff Garzik
It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into drivers/pci/net.

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.

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] 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.
