Commit f58cc3f introduced a temporary workaround for a bug in current
prototype silicon, but failed to apply it to all eight PCI functions
within the device.
[undi] Fill in ProtType correctly in PXENV_UNDI_ISR
Determine the network-layer packet type and fill it in for UNDI
clients. This is required by some NBPs such as emBoot's winBoot/i.
This change requires refactoring the link-layer portions of the
gPXE netdevice API, so that it becomes possible to strip the
link-layer header without passing the packet up the network stack.
This patch adds support for the virtio-net adapter provided by KVM.
Written by Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> for Etherboot.
Wrapped as legacy driver for gPXE by Stefan Hajnoczi
<stefanha@gmail.com>.
In tg3_chip_reset(), the PCI_EXPRESS change is taken from the Linux
tg3 driver. I am not sure what exactly it does (it is not documented
in the Linux driver), but it is necessary for the NIC to work
correctly.
[phantom] Guard against partially-written status descriptors
Conjecture: The hardware issues 64-bit DMA writes of status descriptors,
which some PCI bridges seem to split into two 32-bit writes in reverse
order (i.e. dword 1 first). This means that we sometimes observe a
partial status descriptor. Add an explicit check to ensure that the
descriptor is complete before processing it.
Also ensure that the RDS consumer counter is incremented only when we
know that we have actually consumed an RX descriptor.
ns8390.c can produce four different drivers (one PCI, three ISA.) The
ISA driver requires setting a few macros; do that by setting defines
in stub files instead of using src/Config.
Currently, all the ISA drivers are broken (they were not enabled by
default), so #if 0 them out.

I've added tg3-5721 support for gPXE, the patch (against gpxe-0.9.3) is
attached to this message.
This chipset is present in HP ML150 G2 servers (possibly other HP machines
as well).
[MTNIC] Minor cleanups of vendor-provided driver for Mellanox 10GigE cards
Drivers are not allowed to call printf(). Converted eprintf() to DBG(),
and removed spurious startup banner.
Fixed hardcoded inclusion of little_bswap.h
Use EIO rather than 1 as an error number.
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.
Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.
IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.
[Infiniband] Add preliminary multiple port support for Hermon cards
Infiniband devices no longer block waiting for link-up in
register_ibdev().
Hermon driver needs to create an event queue and poll for link-up events.
Infiniband core needs to reread MAD parameters when link state changes.
IPoIB needs to cope with Infiniband link parameters being only partially
available at probe and open time.
[Infiniband] Add preliminary support for multi-port devices.
Arbel and Hermon cards both have multiple ports. Add the
infrastructure required to register each port as a separate IB
device. Don't yet register more than one port, since registration
will currently fail unless a valid link is detected.
Use ib_*_{set,get}_{drv,owner}data wrappers to access driver- and
owner-private data on Infiniband structures.
Pull out common code for handling management datagrams from arbel.c
and hermon.c into infiniband.c.
Add port number to struct ib_device.
Add open(), close() and mad() methods to struct ib_device_operations.

Subject: [Etherboot-developers] 3c90x polling again [patch]

Hello,
gPXE didn't work on 3COM 905C Tornado cards for me.
It did transmit the DHCP request, but it didn't see the DHCP offer.
Adding debug print statements allready solved the problem.
Attached is a patch that has a cleaner delay then print statements.
The core of it is
- for(i=0;i<40000;i++);
+ mdelay(1);
There was no research if the change is about a longer delay
or about code NOT being optimized away. It works for me :-)
Cheers

Overwrite the device descriptor's IRQ number with whatever the legacy
driver's probe() routine fills in in nic->irqno. This is so that
non-interrupt-capable legacy drivers which set nic->irqno=0 will end
up reporting IRQ#0 via PXENV_UNDI_GET_INFORMATION; this in turn means
that the calling PXE NBP will (should) hook the timer interrupt, and
everything will sort of work.
Correct e1000 interrupt routine to enable on 1 disable on 0. duh.
The e1000_irq() routine should (per mcb30) do enable on non-zero,
disable on zero. This is not consistent in all drivers, so I'll
wait to update it when doing a global sweep.
Remove *_fill_nic() calls, and directly set nic->ioaddr and nic->irqno .
This needs to be done manually because if the irq() routine is
implemented then we want something like "nic->irqno = pci->irqno;",
else we do "nic->irqno = 0;" nic->ioaddr may also need to be set
carefully.
Also added local variables to end of many files, for emacs indentation
to match kernel style (tab does 8 space indent).
There may still be an issue with memory handling, since it seems to
die ungracefully when ARP packets come in after loading a kernel.
Something to debug.
