spidernet: checksum and ethtool

2007-06-20T23:09:33+00:00

It doesn't look like spidernet hardware can really checksum all protocols,
the code looks like it does IPV4 only.  If so, it should use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM
instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

The driver doesn't need it's own get/set for ethtool tx csum, and it
should use the standard ethtool_op_get_link.

Spidernet DMA coalescing

2007-02-05T21:58:43+00:00

The current driver code performs 512 DMA mappings of a bunch of
32-byte ring descriptor structures. This is silly, as they are
all in contiguous memory. This patch changes the code to
dma_map_coherent() each rx/tx ring as a whole.

[PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet variable name change

2006-10-11T08:04:27+00:00

Cosmetic patch: give the variable holding the numer of descriptors
a more descriptive name, so to avoid confusion.

[PATCH] Spidernet: add ethtool -S (show statistics)

2006-09-23T00:26:02+00:00

Add the ethtool -S (show statistics) feature to the Spidernet ethernet
driver.  I have tested it extensively and believe it is ready to be
applied.

[PATCH] spidernet: performance optimizations

2006-01-17T12:25:01+00:00

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] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell Blades

2005-09-07T02:17:49+00:00

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.
