Add 5708 copper and serdes basic support, including 2.5 Gbps support on 5708 serdes. SPEED_2500 is also added to ethtool.h Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach

2005-10-28T18:30:00Z

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

[NET]: Add support for getting the permanent hardware address.

2005-08-29T23:02:44Z

This patch adds a new field to net device to hold the permanent hardware address, and adds a new generic ethtool_op function to get that address. Signed-off-by: Jon Wetzel Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] ethtool power manglement hooks

2004-06-08T10:11:04Z

Several ethernet drivers have been broken by the ethtool support because the ioctl code used to power the interface up and down as needed. Rather than add this to each driver call Jeff Garzik suggested we add hooks for before/after ethtool processing. This patch implements them which makes fixing the PM stuff easier, as the epic100 patch to follow will show. It also cleans up the via-velocity driver pm/ethtool logic a great deal. As per Jeff's request the before handler is allowed to fail the operation. -- The contribution herein included is a creation of Red Hat Inc.

[PATCH] ethtool_ops eeprom stuff

2003-10-14T09:52:16Z

Finally got around to adding ethtool_ops to e100-3.0.x. I found a bug with get_eeprom() and it seems to work best if we add get_eeprom_len() to the ops list. Also moved check for offest + len < size into ethtool.c. I was able to test [GS]EEPROM, PHYS_ID, GSTATS, GSTRINGS, and TEST, and everything looks good. Should I send same for 2.4?

[NET] move ethtool_op_set_tx_csum from 8139cp drvr to net/core/ethtool.c,

where it belongs.

[ETHTOOL]: Add ethtool_op_{set,get}_tso helpers.

[ETHTOOL]: Add {G,S}TSO support to ethtool_ops.
