e1000e: fix IPMI traffic

2008-11-17T03:05:16Z

Some users reported that they have machines with BMCs enabled that cannot receive IPMI traffic after e1000e is loaded. http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121909039127414&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121365543823387&w=2 This fixes the issue if they load with the new parameter = 0 by disabling crc stripping, but leaves the performance feature on for most users. Based on work done by Hong Zhang. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: write protect ICHx NVM to prevent malicious write/erase

2008-10-02T00:31:25Z

Set the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the GbE region in the ICHx NVM. This feature can be disabled by the WriteProtectNVM module parameter (enabled by default) only after a hardware reset, but the machine must be power cycled before trying to enable writes.

e1000e: Set InterruptThrottleRate to default when invalid value used

2008-08-14T08:40:03Z

During module load, seting the InterruptThrottleRate parameter to an invalid value would result in the itr/itr_setting pair being set to unexpected values which would result in poor performance. Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

e1000e: convert ndev_ printks to something smaller

2008-08-07T05:54:49Z

The ndev_* printk's are too lenghty and we don't need to specify the adapter/netdev struct at all, making this a lot more readable. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: Auke Kok Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

e1000e: Disable L1 ASPM power savings for 82573 mobile variants

2008-01-28T23:03:43Z

L1 ASPM link (pci-e link power savings) has significant benefits (~1W savings when link is active) but unfortunately does not work correctly on any of the chipsets that have 82573 on mobile platforms which causes various nuisances: - eeprom reads return garbage information leading to bad eeprom checksums - long ping times (up to 2 seconds) - complete system hangs (freeze/lockup) A lot of T60 owners have been plagued by this, but other mobile solutions also suffer from these symptoms. Disabling L1 ASPM before we activate the PCI-E link fixes all of these issues at the cost of some power consumption. Remove a workaround RDTR adjustment that is no longer needed with this new one.

e1000e: fix sparse warnings

2007-10-30T18:32:16Z

Fix sparse warnings from e1000e driver in net-2.6.24. Added a sparse fix for module param arrays which can have int values but only the array index needs to be unsigned. --Auke Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Auke Kok Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
