2013-12-19drivers: net: Include new header file in sbni.cRashika Kheria
Create a new header file include/net/Space.h which contains prototype declaration of sbni_probe(). Include the new header file in drivers/net/Space.c and drivers/net/wan/sbni.c because they use this function. This eliminates the following warning in wan/sbni.c: drivers/net/wan/sbni.c:224:12: warning: no previous prototype for ‘sbni_probe’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] Signed-off-by: Rashika Kheria <rashika.kheria@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old x86 variant of the seeq8005 driverPaul Gortmaker
The last update to the Ethernet HowTo (over 10 years ago) listed this: ------------------------ SEEQ 8005 Status: Obsolete, Driver Name: seeq8005 There is little information about the card included in the driver, and hence little information to be put here. If you have a question, you are probably best trying to e-mail the driver author as listed in the source. It was marked obsolete as of the 2.4 series kernels. ------------------------ If it was obsolete over a decade ago, the situation can not have improved with the passage of time, so let us act on that. Even with today's improved search engines, I was unable to locate any real meaningful information on the ISA implementation of this rare chip. There are ARM and SGI variants of the driver in tree, but they do not depend on the original x86 driver source or header file. We leave those non-x86 drivers to be deleted by the arch maintainers when they decide to expire those legacy platforms as a whole. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete Digital EtherWorks-3 support.Paul Gortmaker
This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not really have any statistically significant active linux user base. Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation clearly indicates the vintage with this text: "...designed to work with all kernels > 1.1.33" Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete the really obsolete 8390 based 10Mbit ISA driversPaul Gortmaker
This is an area I know all too well, after being author of several 8390 drivers, and maintainer of all 8390 drivers during a large part of their active lifecycle. To that end, I can say this with a reasonable degree of confidence. The drivers deleted here represent the earliest (as in early 1990) hardware and/or rare hardware. The remaining hardware not deleted here is the more modern/sane of the lot, with ISA-PnP and jumperless "soft configuration" like the wd and smc cards had. The original ne2000 driver (ne.c) gets a pass at this time since AT/LANTIC based cards that could be both ne2000 or wd-like (with shared memory) and with jumperless configuration were made in the mid to late 1990's, and performed reasonably well for their era.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old fujitsu based eth16i driverPaul Gortmaker
This is another driver for relatively rare 10Mbit hardware that originated in the early 1990's. So we select it for removal at this point in time as well. Cc: Mika Kuoppala <miku@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete at1700 ISA 10Mbit driverPaul Gortmaker
These Fujitsu MB86965 based ISA 10Mbit cards were another of the relatively rare cards dating from the early 1990s that for one reason or another didn't seem to get a lot of use in linux. So we retire it now with a reasonable degree of confidence that it won't impact anyone. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old 8 bit ISA Racal ni5010 support.Paul Gortmaker
These cards were only available in 8bit format, and in addition they only had AUI and BNC(10-Base2) interfaces (i.e. no RJ-45). In fact, they are so rare, that an internet search on these old cards almost comes up empty, unless the "Micom interlan" name is used. This puts them in the equivalent domain as the 3c501, so there should be no strong opposition to the driver removal, as nobody is seriously using 3.9+ with 8 bit ISA hardware. In doing so, the whole "ethernet/racal" category becomes empty, so we clean up the Makefile/Kconfig and subdir appropriately.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete Racal Interlan ISA ni52 (i825xx) driverPaul Gortmaker
Like the other drivers that were in the ISA i825xx family, the ni52 was rather rare, not widely used, and hence perhaps not as reliable as the more mainstream ISA drivers that were heavily used. Given that, it is chosen for retirement at this time as well. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete ISA intel eexpress and eepro i825xx driversPaul Gortmaker
These old drivers should not be confused with the very common PCI cards that are supported by e100.c -- these older 10Mbit ISA only drivers were not as commonly used as some of the other ISA drivers, simply due to hardware availability and pricing. Given the rarity of the hardware, and the subsequent less extensive use of the drivers, it makes sense to obsolete them at this point in time, along with other rare/experimental ISA drivers.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete the 3Com 3c505/3c507 intel i825xx supportPaul Gortmaker
For those of us who were around in the early to mid 1990's, we will remember that the i825xx ethernet support was not something that was considered sufficiently vetted for 24/7 use. Folks might be inclined to use *functional* ISA hardware on some near expired P3 ISA machines for dedicated workhorse applications, but the odds of using (and relying on) one of these old/experimental drivers is essentially nil. So lets remove them. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old parallel port de600/de620 driversPaul Gortmaker
The parallel port is largely replaced by USB, and even in the day where these drivers were current, the documented speed was less than 100kB/s. Let us not pretend that anyone cares about these drivers anymore, or worse - pretend that anyone is using them on a modern kernel. As a side bonus, this is the end of legacy parallel port ethernet, so we get to drop the whole chunk relating to that in the legacy Space.c file containing the non-PCI unified probe dispatch.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete old 8bit ISA 3c501 driver.Paul Gortmaker
It was amusing that linux was able to make use of this 1980's technology on machines long past its intended lifespan, but it probably should go now. To set some context, the 3c501 was designed in the 1980's to be used on 8088 PC-XT 8bit ISA machines. It was built using a large number of discrete TTL components and truly looks like a relic of the ancient past before large scale integration was common. But from a functional point of view, the real issue, as stated in the (also obsolete) Ethernet-HowTo, is that "...the 3c501 can only do one thing at a time -- while you are removing one packet from the single-packet buffer it cannot receive another packet, nor can it receive a packet while loading a transmit packet." You know things are not good when the Kconfig help text suggests you make a cron job doing a ping every minute. Hardware that old and crippled is simply not going to be used by anyone in a time where 10 year old 100Mbit PCI cards (that are still functional) are largely give-away items.

2013-01-22drivers/net: delete 486 Apricot supportPaul Gortmaker
The Apricot was a 486 PC with 4MB RAM, and an on-board ethernet via an intel i82596 hard-wired to i/o 0x300. Those who were using linux in the 1990's will recall that the i82596 driver was not one of the more stable or widely used drivers of its day. Combine that with the extremely limited resources of the platform, and it is truly time to expire the support for this thing. There are some old m68k targets who were also using this chip, so rather than poll the m68k user base, we simply cut out the x86/Apricot support here in this commit.

2013-01-14drivers/net: Clean up orphaned probes in Space.cPaul Gortmaker
The removal of the 8390 EISA drivers actually comprises the complete content of the EISA probe block, so we can now remove that block, and its hook into the unified probe. Note that the deleted comment mentions PCI probes, but they long since moved elsewhere, so no PCI probes are touched here. We get rid of the orphaned EISA probe prototypes, and a couple of left over MCA probe prototypes at the same time. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-02-01CS89x0 : add platform driver supportJaccon Bastiaansen
The CS89x0 ethernet controller is used on a number of evaluation boards, such as the MX31ADS. The current driver has memory address and IRQ settings for each board on which this controller is used. Driver updates are therefore required to support other boards that also use the CS89x0. To avoid these driver updates, a better mechanism (platform driver support) is added to communicate the board dependent settings to the driver.

2007-05-04m68k: macmace fixesFinn Thain
Fix a race condition in the transmit code, where the dma interrupt could update the free tx buffer count concurrently and wedge the tx queue. Fix the misuse of the rx frame status and rx frame length registers: no more "fifo overrun" errors caused by the OFLOW bit being tested in the frame length register (instead of the status register), and no more missed packets due to incorrect length taken from status register (instead of the frame length register). Fix a panic (skb_over_panic BUG) caused by allocating and then copying an incoming packet while the packet length register was changing. Cut-and-paste the reset code from the powermac mace driver (mace.c), so the NIC functions when MacOS does not initialise it (important for anyone wanting to use the Emile boot loader). Cut-and-paste the error counting and timeout recovery code from mace.c. Fix over allocation of rx buffer memory (it's page order, not page count). Converted to driver model. Converted to DMA API. Since I've run out of ways to make it fail, and since it performs well now, promote the driver from EXPERIMENTAL status. Tested on both quadra 840av and 660av.

2005-08-23[PATCH] macsonic/jazzsonic network drivers updateFinn Thain
The purpose of this patch: - Adopt the DMA API (jazzsonic, macsonic & core driver). - Adopt the driver model (macsonic). This part was cribbed from jazzsonic. As a consequence, macsonic once again works as a module. Driver model is also used by the DMA calls. - Support 16 bit cards (macsonic & core driver, also affects jazzsonic) This code was adapted from the mac68k linux 2.2 kernel, where it has languished for a long time. - Support more 32-bit mac cards (macsonic) Also from mac68k repo. - Zero-copy buffer handling (core driver) Provides a nice performance improvement. The new algorithm incidentally helped to replace the old Jazz DMA code. The patch was tested on a variety of macs (several 32-bit quadra built-in NICs, a 16-bit LC PDS NIC and a 16-bit comm-slot NIC), and also on MIPS Jazz.

2005-07-31[PATCH] tms380tr: move to DMA APIJochen Friedrich
This patch makes tms380tr use the new DMA API. Now that on Alpha, this API also supports bus master DMA for ISA (platform) devices, i changed the driver to use this new API. This also works around a bug in the firmware loader: The example provided in Documentation/firmware_class no longer works, as the firmware loader now calls get_kobj_path_length() and the kernel promptly oopses, as the home-grown device doesn't have a parent. Of course, this doesn't happen with a "real" device which has its bus (or pseudo bus in the case of platform) as parent. Converted tms380tr to use new DMA API: - proteon.c, skisa.c: use platform pseudo bus to create a struct device - Space.c: delete init hooks - abyss.c, tmspci.c: pass struct device to tms380tr.c - tms380tr.c, tms380tr.h: new DMA API, use real device fo firmware loader Signed-off-by: Jochen Friedrich <jochen@scram.de> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
