2007-05-09Move USB network drivers to drivers/net/usb.Jeff Garzik
It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into drivers/pci/net.

2007-04-27USB: usbnet reports minidriver name through ethtoolDavid Brownell
Update "usbnet" so that ethtool reports the name of the minidriver in use (e.g. asix, cdc_ether, dm9601, rndis_host) instead of "usbnet". This is a better match to how other network drivers work, resolving a minor open issue.

2006-10-17usbnet: add a mutex around phy register accessArnd Bergmann
When working on the mcs7830, I noticed the need for a mutex in its mdio_read/mdio_write functions. A related problem seems to be present in the asix driver in the respective functions. This introduces a mutex in the common usbnet driver and uses it from the two hardware specific drivers.

2006-10-17usbnet: improve generic ethtool supportArnd Bergmann
This adds generic support for the ethtool commands get_settings, set_settings, get_link and nway_reset to usbnet. These are now implemented using mii functions when a low-level driver supports mdio_read/mdio_write and does not override the usbnet ethtool commands with its own. Currently, this applies to the asix and the mcs7830 drivers. I have tested it on mcs7830.

2006-09-27USB: usbnet - Add unlink_rx_urbs() call to allow for Jumbo FramesJamie Painter
Add usbnet_unlink_rx_urbs() which can be called by mini-drivers when they change their MTU such as for Jumbo Frame support. Signed-off-by: David Hollis <dhollis@davehollis.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: usbnet (6/9) module for Zaurii and compatiblesDavid Brownell
This moves usbnet support for Zaurus and compatibles into its own module. Other than exporting a couple of helper functions, this just involved shuffling some code and updating the comments.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: usbnet (3/9) module for ASIX Ethernet adaptersDavid Brownell
This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library. - As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks, moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions. - This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides. - Also from Jamie, some bugfixes: * MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems); * Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise); * Address some link reset problems. It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second) control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before the 80th column (which previously needed it).

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: usbnet (2/9) module for simple network linksDavid Brownell
This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules for "usbnet". This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core. - Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver, shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch; - Export the functions needed to support this minidriver (with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL); - Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly. This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus running that ancient code from Sharp).

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: usbnet (1/9) clean up framingDavid Brownell
This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers" can be modules that just plug into the core. - Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core: * net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate; now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink, Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths. Even for the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers. * defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu. * now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the driver bind() routines, if needed. - Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing; RNDIS needs one too. - Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared between the core and what will be separate modules. - Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap. The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file. Splitting out the minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters, Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.
