Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+3COM PCI TOKEN LINK VELOCITY XL TOKEN RING CARDS README
+
+Release 0.9.0 - Release   
+	Jul 17th 2000 Mike Phillips 
+
+	1.2.0 - Final
+	Feb 17th 2002 Mike Phillips 
+	Updated for submission to the 2.4.x kernel.
+
+Thanks:
+	Terry Murphy from 3Com for tech docs and support,
+	Adam D. Ligas for testing the driver.
+ 
+Note:
+	This driver will NOT work with the 3C339 Token Ring cards, you need
+to use the tms380 driver instead.
+
+Options:
+
+The driver accepts three options: ringspeed, pkt_buf_sz and message_level.
+
+These options can be specified differently for each card found. 
+
+ringspeed:  Has one of three settings 0 (default), 4 or 16.  0 will 
+make the card autosense the ringspeed and join at the appropriate speed, 
+this will be the default option for most people.  4 or 16 allow you to 
+explicitly force the card to operate at a certain speed.  The card will fail 
+if you try to insert it at the wrong speed. (Although some hubs will allow 
+this so be *very* careful).  The main purpose for explicitly setting the ring
+speed is for when the card is first on the ring.  In autosense mode, if the card
+cannot detect any active monitors on the ring it will open at the same speed as
+its last opening. This can be hazardous if this speed does not match the speed
+you want the ring to operate at.  
+
+pkt_buf_sz:  This is this initial receive buffer allocation size.  This will
+default to 4096 if no value is entered. You may increase performance of the 
+driver by setting this to a value larger than the network packet size, although
+the driver now re-sizes buffers based on MTU settings as well. 
+
+message_level: Controls level of messages created by the driver. Defaults to 0:
+which only displays start-up and critical messages.  Presently any non-zero 
+value will display all soft messages as well.  NB This does not turn 
+debugging messages on, that must be done by modified the source code.
+
+Variable MTU size:
+
+The driver can handle a MTU size upto either 4500 or 18000 depending upon 
+ring speed.  The driver also changes the size of the receive buffers as part
+of the mtu re-sizing, so if you set mtu = 18000, you will need to be able
+to allocate 16 * (sk_buff with 18000 buffer size) call it 18500 bytes per ring 
+position = 296,000 bytes of memory space, plus of course anything 
+necessary for the tx sk_buff's.  Remember this is per card, so if you are
+building routers, gateway's etc, you could start to use a lot of memory
+real fast.

+The 3Com Etherlink Plus (3c505) driver.
+
+This driver now uses DMA.  There is currently no support for PIO operation.
+The default DMA channel is 6; this is _not_ autoprobed, so you must
+make sure you configure it correctly.  If loading the driver as a
+module, you can do this with "modprobe 3c505 dma=n".  If the driver is
+linked statically into the kernel, you must either use an "ether="
+statement on the command line, or change the definition of ELP_DMA in 3c505.h.
+
+The driver will warn you if it has to fall back on the compiled in
+default DMA channel. 
+
+If no base address is given at boot time, the driver will autoprobe
+ports 0x300, 0x280 and 0x310 (in that order).  If no IRQ is given, the driver
+will try to probe for it.
+
+The driver can be used as a loadable module.  See net-modules.txt for details
+of the parameters it can take.  
+
+Theoretically, one instance of the driver can now run multiple cards,
+in the standard way (when loading a module, say "modprobe 3c505
+io=0x300,0x340 irq=10,11 dma=6,7" or whatever).  I have not tested
+this, though.
+
+The driver may now support revision 2 hardware; the dependency on
+being able to read the host control register has been removed.  This
+is also untested, since I don't have a suitable card.
+
+Known problems:
+ I still see "DMA upload timed out" messages from time to time.  These
+seem to be fairly non-fatal though.
+ The card is old and slow.
+
+To do:
+ Improve probe/setup code
+ Test multicast and promiscuous operation
+
+Authors:
+ The driver is mainly written by Craig Southeren, email
+ <craigs@ineluki.apana.org.au>.
+ Parts of the driver (adapting the driver to 1.1.4+ kernels,
+ IRQ/address detection, some changes) and this README by
+ Juha Laiho <jlaiho@ichaos.nullnet.fi>.

+Linux and the 3Com EtherLink III Series Ethercards (driver v1.18c and higher)
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This file contains the instructions and caveats for v1.18c and higher versions
+of the 3c509 driver. You should not use the driver without reading this file.
+
+release 1.0
+28 February 2002
+Current maintainer (corrections to):
+  David Ruggiero <jdr@farfalle.com>
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(0) Introduction
+
+The following are notes and information on using the 3Com EtherLink III series
+ethercards in Linux. These cards are commonly known by the most widely-used
+card's 3Com model number, 3c509. They are all 10mb/s ISA-bus cards and shouldn't
+be (but sometimes are) confused with the similarly-numbered PCI-bus "3c905"
+(aka "Vortex" or "Boomerang") series.  Kernel support for the 3c509 family is
+provided by the module 3c509.c, which has code to support all of the following
+models:
+
+  3c509 (original ISA card)
+  3c509B (later revision of the ISA card; supports full-duplex)
+  3c589 (PCMCIA)
+  3c589B (later revision of the 3c589; supports full-duplex)
+  3c529 (MCA)
+  3c579 (EISA)
+
+Large portions of this documentation were heavily borrowed from the guide
+written the original author of the 3c509 driver, Donald Becker. The master
+copy of that document, which contains notes on older versions of the driver,
+currently resides on Scyld web server: http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html.
+
+
+(1) Special Driver Features
+
+Overriding card settings
+
+The driver allows boot- or load-time overriding of the card's detected IOADDR,
+IRQ, and transceiver settings, although this capability shouldn't generally be
+needed except to enable full-duplex mode (see below). An example of the syntax
+for LILO parameters for doing this:
+
+    ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0 
+
+This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and
+transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts
+with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is
+loaded as a module, only the IRQ and transceiver setting may be overridden.
+For example, setting two cards to 10base2/IRQ10 and AUI/IRQ11 is done by using
+the xcvr and irq module options:
+
+   options 3c509 xcvr=3,1 irq=10,11
+
+
+(2) Full-duplex mode
+
+The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities.
+In order to enable and successfully use full-duplex mode, three conditions
+must be met: 
+
+(a) You must have a Etherlink III card model whose hardware supports full-
+duplex operations. Currently, the only members of the 3c509 family that are
+positively known to support full-duplex are the 3c509B (ISA bus) and 3c589B
+(PCMCIA) cards. Cards without the "B" model designation do *not* support
+full-duplex mode; these include the original 3c509 (no "B"), the original
+3c589, the 3c529 (MCA bus), and the 3c579 (EISA bus).
+
+(b) You must be using your card's 10baseT transceiver (i.e., the RJ-45
+connector), not its AUI (thick-net) or 10base2 (thin-net/coax) interfaces.
+AUI and 10base2 network cabling is physically incapable of full-duplex
+operation.
+
+(c) Most importantly, your 3c509B must be connected to a link partner that is
+itself full-duplex capable. This is almost certainly one of two things: a full-
+duplex-capable  Ethernet switch (*not* a hub), or a full-duplex-capable NIC on
+another system that's connected directly to the 3c509B via a crossover cable.
+ 
+/////Extremely important caution concerning full-duplex mode/////
+Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more
+limited than that provide by more modern network interface cards. Although
+at the physical layer of the network it fully supports full-duplex operation,
+the card was designed before the current Ethernet auto-negotiation (N-way)
+spec was written. This means that the 3c509B family ***cannot and will not
+auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any
+circumstances, no matter how it is initialized***. If the full-duplex mode
+of the 3c509B is enabled, its link partner will very likely need to be
+independently _forced_ into full-duplex mode as well; otherwise various nasty
+failures will occur - at the very least, you'll see massive numbers of packet
+collisions. This is one of very rare circumstances where disabling auto-
+negotiation and forcing the duplex mode of a network interface card or switch
+would ever be necessary or desirable.
+
+
+(3) Available Transceiver Types
+
+For versions of the driver v1.18c and above, the available transceiver types are:
+ 
+0  tran
