Subject: [PATCH 0/2] New PowerPC 4xx on-chip ethernet controller driver
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 21:58:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050831045847.GA17017@gate.ebshome.net> (raw)
Jeff,
the following patches replace current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written version.
New driver uses NAPI, it solves problems under heavy packet load and
low memory, corrects chip register access and fixes numerous small
bugs I don't even remember now :).
This patch has been tested on all supported in 2.6 PPC 4xx boards.
It's been used in production for almost a year now on custom
4xx hardware. PPC32 specific parts were just posted to linuxppc-dev
and linuxppc-embedded mail lists.
Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.
Signed-off-by: Eugene Surovegin <ebs@ebshome.net>
