Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 17:08:15 +0000 From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-net-drivers@...arflare.com Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] New driver "sfc" for Solarstorm SFC4000 controller This is a net driver (and MTD driver, sfc_mtd) for our SFC4000 10G Ethernet controller, branded "Solarstorm", with various PHYs. It is intended to support our NIC reference designs SFE4001 (10GBASE-T), SFE4002 (XFP), SFE4003 (10GBASE-CX4), OEM designs based on them, and some development boards. We have been maintaining drivers out-of-tree for some time but are now preparing them to work in-tree. There are some issues that might need to be addressed: 1. When we enable NAPI polling, we need to set __LINK_STATE_START in the net device used for NAPI. This bit is commented as private in netdevice.h, but e1000 also does this. Is this incorrect? 2. We added a lot of definitions and code for 10G MDIO. This is mostly generic and could be moved into core code. We welcome review comments and are ready to address them. The patch (against net-2.6.25) is at: https://support.solarflare.com/netdev/net-2.6.25-sfc-2.2.0019.patch The new files may also be downloaded as a tarball: https://support.solarflare.com/netdev/net-2.6.25-sfc-2.2.0019.tar.gz And for verification there is: https://support.solarflare.com/netdev/MD5SUMS Ben. -- Ben Hutchings, Senior Software Engineer, Solarflare Communications Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
