xirc2ps_cs: Cannot reset card in atomic context

2006-10-13T18:50:11+00:00

I am using a Xircom CEM33 pcmcia NIC which has occasional hardware problems.
If the netdev watchdog detects a transmit timeout, do_reset is called which
msleeps - this is illegal in atomic context.

This patch schedules the timeout handling as a workqueue item.

sky2: fix fiber support

2006-09-08T21:51:40+00:00

Fix support for fiber based devices.  Needed to keep track of PMD type to
add workaround in setup. Add support for gigabit half duplex fiber.

sky2: MSI test timing

2006-09-08T21:51:40+00:00

The test for MSI IRQ could have timing issues. The PCI write needs to be 
pushed out before waiting, and the wait queue should be initialized before
the IRQ.

sky2: use dev_alloc_skb for receive buffers

2006-09-08T21:51:40+00:00

Several code paths assume an additional 16 bytes of header padding
on the receive path. Use dev_alloc_skb to get that padding.

sky2: clear status IRQ after empty

2006-09-08T21:51:40+00:00

Don't clear status IRQ until list has been read to avoid causing
status list wraparound. Clearing IRQ forces a Transmit Status update
if it is pending.

sky2: accept flow control

2006-09-08T21:51:39+00:00

Don't program the GMAC to reject flow control packets.
This maybe the cause of some of the transmit hangs.

TG3: Disable TSO by default

2006-09-08T21:51:38+00:00

Disable TSO by default on some chips due to hardware errata.

Enabling TSO can lead to tx timeouts in some cases when the TSO
header size exceeds 80 bytes on the affected chips.  This limit
can be exceeded when the TCP header contains the timestamp option
plus 2 SACK blocks, for example.  A more complete workaround is
available in the next 2.6.18 kernel.

sky2: phy power problem on 88e805x

2006-08-23T21:13:30+00:00

On the 88E805X chipsets (used in laptops), the PHY was not getting powered
out of shutdown properly. The variable reg1 was getting reused incorrectly.
This is probably the cause of the bug.
