Implement NAPI changes to pcnet32 driver. Compile default is off.
Listed as experimental.
Len and Don both worked on a NAPI implementation and have both tested
these changes.
An e1000 blasting short packets to the pcnet32 will lockup Don's system
until the receive storm stops. Without NAPI Len's system watchdog would
expire causing the system to reboot. With NAPI the system will stay
operational.
Tested ia32 and ppc64. Tested '970A, '971, '972, '973, '975, '976, and
'978.
The Kconfig changes came from Len. Don is to blame for all the others.

This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts.
There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx)
integrated upstream as well.
I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had
much response from Stephen Hemminger.
- Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4.
- The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions.
- The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and
ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across
the network and iSCSI functions. This protection is mostly during chip
initialization and resets, but also include link management.
- The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the
iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time.
This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel
this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

*) mark as "EXPERIMENTAL" various items that either aren't very stable or
that are actively crashing the setup of users which don't really need them
(i.e. HIGHMEM and 3-level pagetables on x86 - nobody needs either,
everybody reports "I'm using it and getting trouble").
*) move net/Kconfig near to the rest of network configurations, and
drivers/block/Kconfig near "Block layer" submenu.
*) it's useless and doesn't work well to force NETDEVICES on and to disable
the prompt like it's done. Better remove the attempt, and change that to a
simple "default y if UML".
*) drop the warning about "report problems about HPPFS" - it's redundant
anyway, as that's the usual procedure, and HPPFS users are especially
technical (i.e. they know reporting bugs is _good_).

A new device to do intermidiate functional block in a system shared
manner. To use the new functionality, you need to turn on
qos/classifier actions.
The new functionality can be grouped as:
1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide. ifb
allows for a device which can be redirected to thus providing an
impression of sharing.
2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of
dropping.
Packets are redirected to this device using tc/action mirred redirect
construct. If they are sent to it by plain routing instead then they
will merely be dropped and the stats would indicate that.

The way the hardware and firmware work is that there is one shared RX
queue and IRQ for a number of different network interfaces. Due to this,
we would like to process received packets for every interface in the same
NAPI poll handler, so we need a pseudo-device to schedule polling on.
What the driver currently does is that it always schedules polling for
the first network interface in the list, and processes packets for every
interface in the poll handler for that first interface -- however, this
scheme breaks down if the first network interface happens to not be up,
since netif_rx_schedule_prep() checks netif_running().
sky2 apparently has the same issue, and Stephen Hemminger suggested a
way to work around this: create a variant of netif_rx_schedule_prep()
that does not check netif_running(). I implemented this locally and
called it netif_rx_schedule_prep_notup(), and it seems to work well,
but it's something that probably not everyone would be happy with.
The ixp2000 is an ARM CPU with a high-speed network interface in the
CPU itself (full duplex 4Gb/s or 10Gb/s depending on the IXP model.)
The CPU package also contains 8 or 16 (again depending on the IXP
model) 'microengines', which are somewhat primitive but very fast
and efficient processor cores which can be used to offload various
things from the main CPU.
This driver makes the high-speed network interface in the CPU visible
and usable as a regular linux network device. Currently, it only
supports the Radisys ENP2611 IXP board, but adding support for other
board types should be fairly easy.

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor. This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.
This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.
Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Hi,
This patch provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2
This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter

This patch replaces current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written from the scratch version. This patch is quite big
(~234K) because there is virtualy 0% of common code between old and
new version.
New driver uses NAPI, it solves stability problems under heavy packet
load and low memory, corrects chip register access and fixes numerous
small bugs I don't even remember now.
This patch has been tested on all supported in 2.6 PPC 4xx boards.
It's been used in production for almost a year now on custom
4xx hardware. PPC32 specific parts are already upstream.
Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.
