bcm43xx and ipw2100 currently duplicate the same simplistic get_stats handler. Additionally, zd1211rw requires the same handler to fix a bug where all stats are reported as 0. This patch adds a generic implementation to the ieee80211 layer, which drivers are free to override. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

This adds zd1211rw driver support for the softmac functionality I added a while back. We now obey changes in basic rates, use short preamble if it is available (but long if the AP says it's not), and send self-CTS in the proper situations. Locking fixed and improved by Ulrich Kunitz.

Eric Goff found that he could not use his ZD1211 device which is programmed for the Japan regulatory domain. It turns out that ZyDAS deviate from the spec here: they do not use the newer Japan region code (0x41) but their drivers do operate as if the newer Japan legal frequency range is in effect.

Bit-field constants in zd_chip.h are now defined using a shift expression. The value 0x08 is now (1 << 3). The fix is intended to improve readability. Remove misleading comment in zd_mac.c: The function already returns -EPERM in managed mode (IW_MODE_INFRA). Remove unused code in zd_mac.c: The unused code intended for debugging rx_status values is no longer useful. Added dump_stack() to ZD_ASSERT macro: Output of the stack helps to debug assertions. Keep in mind that the ZD_ASSERT() macro only results in code, if DEBUG is defined. Improved comments for filter_rx() zd_usb.c: Added driver name to module init and exit functions Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de> Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7399 zd1211rw's support for IW_FREQ_AUTO is broken: when specified, the driver tries to change to a channel specified in an uninitialized integer. As IW_FREQ_AUTO is hard to implement properly, the solution (at least for now) is to drop support for it and start ignoring the flags like all other wireless drivers do. This has the added advantage that kismet also starts working with zd1211rw, even though kismet requesting IW_FREQ_AUTO is also a bug (fixed in their svn) Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module. Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200. Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet, which can be downloaded from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682 Changes since previous version: * Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through platform_data. * Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead of depending on platform_data. * Set MII/RMII mode correctly. These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with the at91 infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Add tsi108/9 on chip Ethernet controller driver support. The driver code collects the feedback of previous posting form the mailing list and gives the update. MPC7448HPC2 platform in arch/powerpc uses tsi108 bridge. The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller: The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1. It uses a single Management interface to manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs). Each Ethernet port has its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface statistics. Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address filtering. In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric through a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO. Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to support the transmit and receive data flows. The Ethernet DMA channels use descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and access via the Switch Fabric. The Ethernet Controller’s DMA arbiter handles arbitration for the Switch Fabric. The Controller also has a register bus interface for register accesses and status monitor control. The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI modes. The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs. The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs. Internal data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric. Each Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage data flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the system (the descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map). These descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled with data ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty buffers ready to receive data from Ethernet.

When the periodic work function in bcm43xx was converted for voluntary preemption to reduce latency, a new function was created to estimate the "badness" of each step, and this quantity was used to determine if preemption should be enabled when periodic work was undertaken. This concept was quite useful while debugging of periodic work was in progress. Now that this routine seems to be working correctly, it is time to simplify the code. This patch keeps the functionality intact, but simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* genphy_update_link is now exported * Added a fix from ncase@xes-inc.com which changes forcing so it only updates the link. Otherwise, it never tries the lower values, since it is always overwriting the speed/duplex values with the current ones, rather than the intended ones. * Fixed a bug where bringing up a PHY with no link caused it to timeout, and enter forcing mode. Once in forcing mode, plugging in the link didn't autonegotiate. Now the AN state detects the lack of link, and enters the NO_LINK state. AN only times out if the link is up and AN fails * Cleaned up the PHY_AN case, reducing one level of indentation for the timeout code. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Fix TX Pause bug (reset_tx, intr_handler). When MaxCollisions occurred, need to re-enable Tx. But just after re-enable, MaxCollisions maybe occurred again and with TxStatusOverflow. This will cause driver can't check new MaxCollisions to re-enable Tx again, because TxStatusOverflow. For this reason, after re-enable Tx, we need to make sure Tx was actually enabled.

Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic throughput is unaffected. The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter will generate per second. Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented. Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value for that traffic. The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic. In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic.
