forcedeth boot delay fix

2007-12-14T18:31:57+00:00

patch 9e555930bd873d238f5f7b9d76d3bf31e6e3ce93 in mainline. Fix a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver. During initialization, the timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and driver can be very long. The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a extra loop around the timeout logic.

forcedeth msi bugfix

2007-11-21T17:25:55+00:00

patch a7475906bc496456ded9e4b062f94067fb93057a in mainline. pci_enable_msi() replaces the INTx irq number in pci_dev->irq with the new MSI irq number. The forcedeth driver did not update the copy in netdevice->irq and parts of the driver used the stale copy. See bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 9047. The patch - updates netdevice->irq - replaces all accesses to netdevice->irq with pci_dev->irq. The patch is against 2.6.23.1. IMHO suitable for both 2.6.23 and 2.6.24 Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fix realtek phy id in forcedeth

2007-09-26T17:54:41+00:00

commit ba685fb2abd71162bea6895a99449c1071b01402 in mainline. As noticed by Chuck Ebbert, commit c5e3ae8823693b260ce1f217adca8add1bc0b3de introduced a copy-paste typo, as realtek phy is 0x732 and not 0x1c1. Obvious fix below suggested by Ayaz Abdulla.

forcedeth: fix random hang in forcedeth driver when using netconsole

2007-08-22T23:23:26+00:00

If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ. It works around the problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have netconsole on the same nic. This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area. Without this patch the machine hangs hard. With this patch everything still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while using the nic.

forcedeth: use unicast receive mode for WoL

2007-06-20T23:15:04+00:00

I happened to notice that a system with an NVidia NIC using the forcedeth driver won't wake-on-LAN if the interface was in promiscuous mode when you power off. By experiment, it looks like the hardware needs to have NvRegPacketFilterFlags set to NVREG_PFF_ALWAYS|NVREG_PFF_MYADDR (i.e., receive unicast packets to my address) in order for WoL to work. Jeff Garzik writes: "NVIDIA says the patch looks OK." I didn't venture to insert a signed-off-by line with his name on it, though. Signed-off-by: Tim Mann Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

network drivers: eliminate unneeded kill_vid code

2007-06-03T15:44:20+00:00

Many drivers had code that did kill_vid, but they weren't doing vlan filtering. With new API the stub is unneeded unless device sets NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Bad habit: I couldn't resist fixing a couple of nearby style things in acenic, and forcedeth. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
