So far, we have not received any customer complaints regarding bugs in the driver and thus it has not been updated in a long time. If you feel like there are some missing features/bug fixes, I'd be glad to spend some time on it. However, Chris's initial request is regarding support for T210. As you indicate, the T210 product is a superset of N110/N210 and i.e. supports TOE. Since the T210 board features additional pieces of hardware, these must be initialized (i.e. memory controllers and TCAM) even if the board is to be used as a NIC only. If the kernel developers are okay with these additional initialization procedures we could update the driver to support N as well as T based products, in NIC mode only, of course ;) felix - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
