net: Move MII out from under NET_CORE and hide it

2013-06-20T05:22:56+00:00

All drivers that select MII also need to select NET_CORE because MII
depends on it.  This is a bit ridiculous because NET_CORE is just a
menu option that doesn't enable any code by itself.

There is also no need for it to be a visible option, since its users
all select it.

net: vlan: add protocol argument to packet tagging functions

2013-04-19T18:46:06+00:00

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW
tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions,
so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole
(on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size.

net: vlan: prepare for 802.1ad VLAN filtering offload

2013-04-19T18:45:27+00:00

Change the rx_{add,kill}_vid callbacks to take a protocol argument in
preparation of 802.1ad support. The protocol argument used so far is
always htons(ETH_P_8021Q).

net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*

2013-04-19T18:45:26+00:00

Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad
server provider tagging (STAGs) and require the distinction for hardware not
supporting acclerating both.

drivers/net: fix up function prototypes after __dev* removals

2012-12-07T19:22:22+00:00

The __dev* removal patches for the network drivers ended up messing up
the function prototypes for a bunch of drivers.  This patch fixes all of
them back up to be properly aligned.

Bonus is that this almost removes 100 lines of code, always a nice
surprise.

starfire: remove __dev* attributes

2012-12-03T19:16:41+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As result the __dev*
markings will be going away.

Remove use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst,
and __devexit.

starfire: remove deprecated options.

2012-04-07T09:45:26+00:00

Some settings are duplicated between ethtool link management and module
options. The latter is trimmed. The half duplex, speed and autonegotiation
defaults are kept unchanged.

starfire: stop using net_device.{base_addr, irq}.

2012-04-07T09:45:26+00:00

It's useless to check mem_start on a newly allocated device as well.

  - Removed extra skb->dev = dev after netdev_alloc_skb
