new sk98lin driver

new sk98lin driver

[Michael Heyse]

Hi,

there's a new sk98lin driver available from
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/linux/install-7_09.tar.bz2
(now with ethtool support) dated Oct 20. It's not in 2.6.10-rc1, will it be included in 2.6.10?

Thanks,
Michael

I think Stephen Hemminger volunteered to split up the changes into 
separate patches.

OK, that will probably take quite a while, the patch is large. Thanks for the info!

[PATCH] (0/23) sk98 driver fixes and enhancements

[Stephen Hemminger]

This is the first set of patches to merge some of the new SysKonnect
code with existing 2.6 driver and fix several bugs. 

1: 	Remove explicit module refcounting (bug) 
2: 	Make OnesHash table local constant.
3: 	proc print interface cleanup
4: 	Use netdev_priv
5:  	Use module_param_array instead of deprecated MODULE_PARM
6: 	Add netpoll controller support
7:      Basic ethtool support
8:      Ethtool support for LED blinking
9: 	Ethtool pause param support
10:	Cleanup
11:	Fix boards_found count
12:	Add MODULE_VERSION
13:	Handle ring full condition properly (bug)
14:	Get rid of obfuscation irqreturn_t
15:	Rearrange functions to match SysKonnect code
16:	More efficient OsGetTime
17:	Enable high dma and lockless transmit
18:	reorganize pci_device table
19:	Do initialization better
20:	Ethtool tx & receive checksum efficiently
21:	Tx ring management improvements
22:	Cleanup the code under DIAG_SUPPORT
23:	Eliminate Pnmi scratchpad common

To spare people's mailbox the individual patches won't go to LKML just to netdev.
