sis900: phy for FoxCon motherboard

2006-05-10T21:04:52Z

661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset. The patch adds an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver. The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem, because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen. Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing retransmits. There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms, and it made Netrek suck. I can provide further test data. Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise 100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation. I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description field is a guess. This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2 I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be changed, so as to better handle future transceivers. Diff is against 2.6.16.13. Signed-off-by: James Cameron Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

dl2k: use DMA_48BIT_MASK constant

phy: mdiobus_register(): initialize all phy_map entries

2006-05-10T21:03:57Z

make sure phy_map entries whose PHY address is masked are initialized to NULL, given that other code (such as mdiobus_unregister for instance) assumes that non-NULL phy_map entries are allocated phy_devices Signed-off-by: Herbert Valerio Riedel Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

sky2: ifdown kills irq mask

2006-05-10T21:03:41Z

Bringing down a port also masks off the status and other IRQ's needed for device to function due to missing paren's. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

[TG3]: Fix possible NULL deref in tg3_run_loopback().

2006-05-10T06:14:35Z

tg3_run_loopback doesn't check that dev_alloc_skb() returns anything useful. Even if dev_alloc_skb() fails to return an skb to us we'll happily go on and assume it did, so we risk dereferencing a NULL pointer. Much better to fail gracefully by returning -ENOMEM than crashing here. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IRDA]: Switching to a workqueue for the SIR work

2006-05-09T22:27:04Z

Since sir_kthread.c pretty much duplicates the workqueue functionality, we'd better switch. The SIR fsm has been merged into sir_dev.c and thus sir_kthread.c is deleted. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IRDA]: smsc-ircc: Minimal hotplug support.

2006-05-09T22:26:11Z

Minimal PNP hotplug support for the smsc-ircc2 driver. A modular driver will be modprobed via hotplug, but still bypasses driver model probing. Signed-off-by: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
