sky2: version 1.6.1

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

Since this code incorporates some of the fixes from 2.6.18, change the version number. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6471 Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sky2: NAPI bug

2006-08-07T03:52:14+00:00

If the sky2 driver decides to defer processing because it's NAPI packet quota is done, then it won't correctly handle the rest when it is rescheduled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] sky2: netconsole suspend/resume interaction

2006-06-17T17:52:12+00:00

A couple of fixes that should prevent crashes when using netconsole and suspend/resume. First, netconsole poll routine shouldn't run unless the device is up; second, the NAPI poll should be disabled during suspend. This is only an issue on sky2, because it has to have one NAPI poll routine for both ports on dual port boards. Normal drivers use netif_rx_schedule_prep and that checks for netif_running.

[PATCH] sky2: stop/start hardware idle timer on suspend/resume

2006-06-13T20:16:41+00:00

The resume bug was caused not by an early interrupt but because the idle timeout was not being stopped on suspend. Also disable hardware IRQ's on suspend. Will need to revisit this with hotplug? Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] sky2: save/restore base hardware irq during suspend/resume

2006-06-13T20:16:41+00:00

The hardware should be fully shut off during suspend, and the base irq mask restored during resume. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
