Performance optimizations, changes in these areas:
  - RX and TX checksum offload
  - correct maximum MTU
  - don't use TX interrupts anymore, use a timer instead
  - remove some superfluous barriers
  - improve RX RAM full handling

[PATCH] spidernet: fix HW structures for 64 bit dma_addr_t 2006-01-17T12:25:00+00:00 Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de 2006-01-12T22:16:43+00:00 8e0a613bf61ccaab376877d7c2ed50315b8ca6d7 The driver incorrectly used dma_addr_t to describe HW structures and consequently broke when that type was changed in 2.6.15-rc. This changed spidernet to use u32 for 32 bit HW defined structure elements.

The driver incorrectly used dma_addr_t to describe
HW structures and consequently broke when that type
was changed in 2.6.15-rc.

This changed spidernet to use u32 for 32 bit HW defined
structure elements.

[PATCH] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell Blades 2005-09-07T02:17:49+00:00 Jens Osterkamp Jens.Osterkamp@de.ibm.com 2005-09-05T22:19:29+00:00 aaec0fab5f8809fe1509fdc204e769bb35ebe41a This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC. It is integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades. The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it won't compile on platforms other than ppc64. This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
