2013-08-01Documentation: add networking/netdev-FAQ.txtPaul Gortmaker1-0/+2
A collection of expectations and operational details about how networking development takes place in the context of the netdev mailing list. The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations that are already captured elsewhere. This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list FAQ, but it probably is more universally accessible here in tree.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.Paul Gortmaker1-2/+0
This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not really have any statistically significant active linux user base. Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation clearly indicates the vintage with this text: "...designed to work with all kernels > 1.1.33" Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old DEC depca ISA drivers support.Paul Gortmaker1-2/+0
These are old ISA 10Mbit cards from the 1st 1/2 of the 1990s and required manual jumper settings in order to configure them. Here we remove them on the premise that they are no longer used in any modern 3.9+ kernels. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-21Documentation: remove obsolete networking/multicast.txt filePaul Gortmaker1-2/+0
The original intent of this file was to list limitations in drivers/hardware relating to multicast use, back when some modest hardware from the early 1990s did not support things we might take for granted today. I was intending to delete some now-gone MCA/token ring entries in this file, but once I opened it, I found it only contained information on the earliest (pre-2000) linux networking drivers. Checking the git history shows that the file hasn't been touched since 2005. Clearly nobody is actively consulting this file as a meaningful reference. Rather than add a "YES YES YES" line for all of the drivers we currently have, lets just take advantage of the fact that nobody is using the file to delete it. This has the side benefit of not having to do a line-by-line deletion of the file content as each older driver is expired.

2012-05-16tokenring: delete all remaining driver supportPaul Gortmaker1-8/+0
This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support. It gets rid of: - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on - the drivers/net component - the Kbuild infrastructure around it - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers. - any associated token ring documentation.

2011-12-03net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.Jesse Gross1-0/+2
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

2010-03-03USB: cxacru: remove cxacru-cf.bin loaderSimon Arlott1-0/+2
This has never worked properly because wsize passed to cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will not get enough data to work with and none of the configuration values will be used. At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly. Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters can provide the same functionality. A script is provided to convert from the original format. Signed-off-by: Simon Arlott <simon@fire.lp0.eu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

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!
