Hi,
This patch  provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2

This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3

Please review the patch.

This patch replaces current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written from the scratch version. This patch is quite big
(~234K) because there is virtualy 0% of common code between old and
new version.

New driver uses NAPI, it solves stability 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 are already upstream.

Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.

This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC.  It is
integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades.

The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it
won't compile on platforms other than ppc64.

This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to
get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.

The sis191 is the gigabit brother of the sis190. SiS's driver suggests
that the register set is backward compatible: this should hopefully
give a basic driver.

The device should allow the usual features from a modern ethernet
adapter (802.1q, SG, Jumbo frames, TSO, checksum offload). So far
the relevant register layout is not documented. SiS's driver does
not provide these features either (at least not for Linux).

Raise the sis190 driver from the dead

The driver handles the integrated network device found on SiS 965L
chipset. It follows the classical (non-napi) interrupt-driven model
and provides minimal ethtool support.

The code comes from a heavy cleanup/rewrite of the original code
which was removed from the kernel on 14/04/2004. Since the r8169
driver does not work too bad and there will probably be (at least)
a few months of improvements/testing/fixing, I made the code as
close as possible to the r8169 one.

credit for testing and bug-catching. Many thanks to Lars Vahlenberg

Put NETCONSOLE and NETPOLL options together since they are related.
This cuts down on the hassle of flipping back and forth between
the Networking menu and the Network drivers menu to change their

Tested with menuconfig, gconfig, and xconfig.
gconfig has a small problem with this.  I think that it's
a bug in gconfig and I will take it up with Romain Lievin.

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.

To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.

Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.

A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4

Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
        t1_pci_read_config_4
        adapter_name
        t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.

Why have useless dead code like:

/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+       u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+    1. Read master interrupt register.
+    2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+    3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

Jeff said:

step 1:  kill all the OS wrappers.

 And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
 really supported?  Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
 struct net_device.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
