2006-05-08spidernet: enable support for bcm5461 ethernet phyJens Osterkamp
A newer board revision changed the type of ethernet phy. Moreover, this generalizes the way that a phy gets switched into fiber mode when autodetection is not available.

2006-05-08spidernet: introduce new settingJens Osterkamp
We found a new chip setting that we need in order to make the driver work more reliable. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
2006-03-29[PATCH] spidernet : enable tx checksum offloading by defaultJens Osterkamp
This enables TX checksum offloading for the spidernet driver by default. Signed-off-by: Jens Osterkamp <Jens.Osterkamp@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-03-29[PATCH] spidernet : reduce console spamJens Osterkamp
This patch reduces the message level of the RX ram full messages from err to debug to prevent spamming the console leaving it in the logfiles though. From: Jens Osterkamp <Jens.Osterkamp@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-01-17[PATCH] spidernet: fix missing includeArnd Bergmann
This is now required to avoid drivers/net/spider_net.c:844: error: 'IPPROTO_TCP' undeclared Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2006-01-17[PATCH] spidernet: performance optimizationsArnd Bergmann
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 From: Utz Bacher <utz.bacher@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Osterkamp <jens.osterkamp@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2006-01-17[PATCH] spidernet: fix HW structures for 64 bit dma_addr_tArnd Bergmann
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.

2006-01-17[PATCH] spidernet: read firmware from the OF device treeArnd Bergmann
request_firmware() is sometimes problematic, especially in initramfs, reading the firmware from Open Firmware is much preferrable. We still try to get the firmware from the file system first, in order to support old SLOF releases and to allow updates of the spidernet firmware without reflashing the system.

2006-01-17[PATCH] spidernet: check if firmware was loaded correctlyArnd Bergmann
Uploading the device firmware may fail if wrong input data was provided by the user. This checks for the condition.

2005-09-16[PATCH] net: fix spider_net media detectionJens Osterkamp
This patch makes the driver work with any BladeCenter network switch, it used to work only with certain models. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-09-06[PATCH] net: fix bonding with spider_netJens Osterkamp
Another small update for the spidernet driver to fix a bug encountered during testing our latest hardware with dual-ethernet support. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-09-06[PATCH] net: update the spider_net driverJens Osterkamp
- Prevent PCI posting problems by using synchronous register access in critical places - Check return value from firmware device tree functions - fix device cleanup Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-09-06[PATCH] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell BladesJens Osterkamp
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.
