linux-toradex.git/drivers/net/cnic_defs.h, branch v2.6.32.7 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules [SCSI] cnic: Add new Broadcom CNIC driver. 2009-06-09T15:22:42+00:00 Michael Chan mchan@broadcom.com 2009-06-09T01:14:43+00:00 a463696039f7097ce87c21db3cf5c16cdcb3850d The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by iSCSI. Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those used for ethernet networking. iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address. The CNIC driver creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as ARP, etc in userspace. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: David S.
