Subject: [PATCH 2.6.33 2/4] net: Kconfig change for KSZ884X driver
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:40:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14385191E87B904DBD836449AA30269D021A4E@MORGANITE.micrel.com> (raw)
From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha@micrel.com>
Add Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chip support.
Some users like to use KSZ8842 switch to run Spanning Tree Protocol. As a result a hardware STP support was implemented so that the host does not waste CPU time forwarding each and every packet.
