* Mostly revert "e1000/e1000e: Move PCI-Express device IDs over to e1000e"Linus Torvalds2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new e1000e driver is apparently not yet suitable for general use, so mark it experimental, and re-instate all the PCI-Express device IDs in the old and stable e1000 driver so that people (namely me) can continue to use a driver that actually works. Auke & co have been appraised of the situation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every received beacon with the same BSSID. this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about 1 minute). this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.h: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * b43: Fix MAC control and microcode initMichael Buesch2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading the microcode. This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register. The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init(). All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not overwrite existing bits. This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist.

| * igb: PCI-Express 82575 Gigabit Ethernet driverAuke Kok2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are pleased to announce a new Gigabit Ethernet product and its driver to the linux community. This product is the Intel(R) 82575 Gigabit Ethernet adapter family. Physical adapters will be available to the public soon. These adapters come in 2- and 4-port versions (copper PHY) currently. Other variants will be available later. The 82575 chipset supports significantly different features that warrant a new driver. The descriptor format is (just like the ixgbe driver) different. The device can use multiple MSI-X vectors and multiple queues for both send and receive. This allows us to optimize some of the driver code specifically as well compared to the e1000-supported devices. This version of the igb driver no lnger uses fake netdevices and incorporates napi_struct members for each ring to do the multi- queue polling. multi-queue is enabled by default and the driver supports NAPI mode only. All the namespace collisions should be gone in this version too. The register macro's have been condensed to improve readability.

| * iwlwifi: 4965 unify rate scale variable names for station dataTomas Winkler2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1, This patch renames iwl4965_rate_scale_priv to iwl4965_lq_sta. This type represents a station's link quality. 2. The names of the variables of this type were rs_priv, lq_data, lq, crl across the file. All are now unified under the name lq_sta.

| * iwlwifi: fix problem when rf_killswitch change during suspend/resumeZhu Yi2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After we delay device initialization until interface up, there are more conditions for the hardware rf_kill switch states during suspend and resume. For example, before suspend we can have interface up or down, rf_kill enable or disable; before resume we can have rf_kill enable or disable. So there are totally 2^3 = 8 conditions to handle. This patch addressed this problem and makes sure every condition works correctly. This patch also merges the device suspend and resume handlers with the mac_start and mac_stop code since they are basically doing the same thing.

| * iwlwifi: delay firmware loading from pci_probe to network interface openZhu Yi2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this: 1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple times and is necessary for device suspend and resume. 2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and close the wireless interface automatically. This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram upon the first version.
