Hi,
This patch implements the slow-path handling functions(link
state change, hardware errors) as a timer. It is not
handled in interrupt handler as was done previously.

Hi,
This patch relates to mostly performance related changes.
1. Fixed incorrect computation of PANIC level in rx_buffer_level().
2. Removed unnecessary PIOs(read/write of tx_traffic_int and
rx_traffic_int) from interrupt handler and removed read of
general_int_status register from xmit routine.
3. Enable two-buffer mode(for Rx path) automatically for SGI
systems. This improves Rx performance dramatically on
SGI systems.

Hi,
Below patch includes fixes for few purely software bugs identified
since last release.
1. Keep track and display(as part of ethtool command output) the no.
of single-bit and double-bit ECC errors.
2. Handle race condition between intr handler and "interface down"
routine.
3. Initial link state setting modified so that the link state displayed
after "interface Up" is correct.
4. Fix for "Incorrect Tx packet count when TSO is enabled".
5. Disable periodic DMA of statistics and schedule one-shot DMA
only when required.

Hi,
Below patch addresses few h/w specific issues.
1. Check for additional ownership bit on Rx path before
starting Rx processing.
2. Enable only 4 PCCs(Per Context Controller) for Xframe I
revisions less than 4.
3. Program Rx and Tx round robin registers depending on
no. of rings/FIFOs.
4. Tx continous interrupts is now a loadable parameter.
5. Reset the card if we get double-bit ECC errors.
6. A soft reset of XGXS being done to force a link state change has been
eliminated.
7. After a reset, clear "parity error detected" bit,
PCI-X ECC status register, and PCI_STATUS bit in
tx_pic_int register.
8. The error in the disabling allmulticast implementation has been
rectified.
9. Leave the PCI-X parameters MMRBC, OST etc. at their
BIOS/system defaults.

Hi,
We are submitting a series of 13 patches to support our Xframe I and
Xframe II line of products. The patches can be categorized as follows:
Patches 1-8 : Changes applicable to both Xframe I and II
Patches 9-11: Xframe II specific features
Patch 12: Addresses issues found during testing cycle.
Patch 13: Incorpoates mostly the review comments from community
and some last moment bug fixes.
Please review the patches and let us know your comments.
Starting with patch 1 below.
This patch involves cosmetic changes(tabs and indentation,
regrouping of transmit and receive data structures, typecasting,
code cleanup).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
