From becker@scyld.com Mon Nov 18 12:08:50 2002 From: becker@scyld.com (Donald Becker) Date: Mon Nov 18 12:08:50 2002 Subject: [tulip-announce] Announcing tulip.c:v0.95f 11/17/2002 Message-ID: The updated version of the Tulip driver is tulip.c:v0.95f 11/17/2002 The changes are summarized below. ________________________________________________________________ tulip.c:v0.95f 11/17/2002 Corrected 95e check-in: The board name was actually "D-Link DFE-680TXD v1.0 (ADMtek Centaur-C)" The ID was 0x1541...., not 0x1514.... Changes for Hammer: Architecture check for CSR0 setting. Added 'unsigned' to two lock flags declarations that were not previously updated. ________________________________________________________________ This is part of the fall 2002 update to the PCI Ethernet driver set. Almost every PCI Ethernet driver that I maintain has been updated to the current interface described in pci-skeleton.c v2.12. The updated drivers are available at ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/* and will be moved into the release directory in approximately one week ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/* The combined set is ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/netdrivers-3.tgz The major changes for 2.12 are Almost all drivers now have PCI hot-swap support. Previously NICs with CardBus implementations had the support, but others had that capability disabled. The ability to selectively enable driver messages: Per-interface copies and consistent SIOC{S,G}PARAMS settings for variables the that used to be configurable only as global module options: msg_level, rx_copybreak, max_interrupt_work, multicast_filter_limit Many other minor fixes and changes are included in this update. A significant amount of work went into rewriting previous changes to keep the drivers structurally consistent where possible. This consistency is vital to making possible efficient implementation of planned structural changes. The version number and release dates of the other drivers are 3c59x.c:v0.99Xf 11/17/2002 eepro100.c:v1.26 11/17/2002 epic100.c:v1.17 11/17/2002 hamachi.c:v1.04 11/17/2002 intel-gige.c:v0.14 11/14/2002 myson803.c:v1.04 11/17/2002 natsemi.c:v1.15 11/17/2002 ns820.c:v1.02 11/17/2002 rtl8139.c:v1.22 11/17/2002 starfire.c:v1.08 11/17/2002 sundance.c:v1.10 11/17/2002 via-rhine.c:v1.13 11/17/2002 winbond-840.c:v1.08 11/16/2002 yellowfin.c:v1.09 11/17/2002 -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
