[PATCH RFC 00/10] mlx4_en: Mellanox ConnectX 10G NIC driver

[PATCH RFC 00/10] mlx4_en: Mellanox ConnectX 10G NIC driver

[Yevgeny Petrilin]

Hello Jeff,

The series of the following 10 patches implements the Mellanox Technologies
ConnectX 10G Nic driver - mlx4_en.

The ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an Ethernet NIC, or as
a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA.
Hence, the mlx4_en module is part of the ConnectX drivers, which also includes
a low level bus-driver - mlx4_core - and an Infiniband driver - mlx4_ib - that are
already in the kernel and maintained by Roland Dreier.

mlx4_en implements a standard Ethernet netdevice and handles all the Ethernet-related
logic of ConnectX.

This series of patches are based on patches that were already sent to mlx4_core module.
See http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2008-July/052686.html for most updated patches.
If you wish that we will submit them to this list too please let us know.

Thanks, will review the mxl4_core patches in the context of this
support.  This helps a lot move everything forward.

[PATCH RFC 00/10 v2] mlx4_en: Mellanox ConnectX 10G NIC driver

[Yevgeny Petrilin]

Hello Jeff,

This is the second round of 10 patches implements the Mellanox Technologies
ConnectX 10G Nic driver - mlx4_en.

The ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an Ethernet NIC, or as
a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA.
Hence, the mlx4_en module is part of the ConnectX drivers, which also includes
a low level bus-driver - mlx4_core - and an Infiniband driver - mlx4_ib - that are
already in the kernel and maintained by Roland Dreier.

mlx4_en implements a standard Ethernet netdevice and handles all the Ethernet-related
logic of ConnectX.

The new series of patches include fixes that were made as according to feedbacks from
the mailing list, and also some bug fixes.

This series of patches are based on patches that were already sent to mlx4_core module.
We are now resubmitting those patches. There were no changes done to those patches
other than adjusting to the latest kernel git.

Can you point me to, or email me privately, a single patch that adds the 
driver?

New driver additions need to occur in a single changeset.
