      [PATCH] tg3 bug · 97975500
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      During receive processing, the tg3 card updates rx_producer (the
hardware position in the receive ring) and the opaque cookie. Due to PCI
rules the stores happen in order. However the cpu may reorder the reads.

In these sort of cases there is usually a data dependency between
reading the index and looking up the data (since we use the index to
load the data). I think all cpus except alpha guarantee the reads
happen in order in this case.

However in this particular case we load hw_idx, compare it to sw_idx and
then use sw_idx to locate the opaque cookie. There is no data dependency
in this case. We need a read memory barrier between the read of
rx_producer and the opaque cookie to enforce ordering.

Thanks to Olof Johansson, Michael Chan and Broadcom for their assistance
in finding this bug.

      [PATCH] fix airo oops-on-removal · a4c553ed
      Andrew Morton authored 
      From: Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>

airo creates /proc/driver/aironet/<device name> on device activation.
However, the device can be renamed - then on teardown it tries to remove
the wrong directory.  The removal of /proc/driver/aironet then runs afoul
of the BUG_ON() in remove_proc_entry.

This fixes it by keeping a copy of the name of the directory it created.

(It doesn't actually solve the problem of the stats directory still being
/proc/driver/aironet/eth0 when you rename the device to, say, 'joe'.  But
that patch would be a little less trivial.)

      [PATCH] prism54 Fix wrong type for BSSID · 94730894

      2004-07-12 Margit Schubert-While <margitsw@t-online.de>

* The OID type for BSSID was incorrectly set to type SSID.
  It should be type RAW. This lead to interesting reporting
  by "iwpriv ethX g_bssid".
  (Which caused garbage output and possibly an out of bound)

* Be ultra-cautious in reporting SSID by changing the "%s"
  to "%.*s" and passing the length. (Prompted by the false
  type above, whereby length = 0 and a %s on a garbage field)

      [netdrvr dmfe] remove ALi pci id · 95877f38
      Jeff Garzik authored 
      It's tulip driver, and tulip driver performs better than dmfe
(yet some distro installers pick this driver to use).

Requested by ALi.

      [netdrvr pci-skeleton] refresh · 79218e71
      Pavel Roskin authored 
      Here it is.  The patch fixes all compile errors and warnings in
pci-skeleton.c.  The "debug" parameter lacks corresponding variable,
so I removed it to avoid a warning on module load.  Obsolete
pci_power_on() and pci_power_off() have been replaced with the new
code using pci_set_power_state(), pci_save_state() and
pci_restore_state().  The driver has been tested by compiling it as
module and as part of the kernel.
