net: e100: ucode is optional in some cases

2012-07-19T17:48:07Z

commit 9ac32e1b firmware: convert e100 driver to request_firmware() did a straight conversion of the in-driver ucode to external files. This introduced the possibility of the driver failing to enable an interface due to missing ucode. There was no evaluation of the importance of the ucode at the time. Based on comments in earlier versions of this driver, and in the source code for the FreeBSD fxp driver, we can assume that the ucode implements the "CPU Cycle Saver" feature on supported adapters. Although generally wanted, this is an optional feature. The ucode source is not available, preventing it from being included in free distributions. This creates unnecessary problems for the end users. Doing a network install based on a free distribution installer requires the user to download and insert the ucode into the installer. Making the ucode optional when possible improves the user experience and driver usability. The ucode for some adapters include a bugfix, making it essential. We continue to fail for these adapters unless the ucode is available. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e100: enable transmit time stamping.

e100: Fix rx-over-length statistics.

2012-03-03T02:07:52Z

The old code would += the total errors every time stats were gathered. Instead, keep a count of short-pkt and long-pkt counters and then simply add them together for the rx-over-length stat. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e100: Support RXALL feature flag.

2012-03-01T07:00:45Z

This allows the NIC to receive packets with bad FCS and other errors. Good for sniffing packets on flakey networks. v4: Only flax rx-over-length errors if pkt is beyond maximum expected packet size, not just beyond the MTU. This matches the existing logic for this counter. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e100: Support sending custom Ethernet CRC

2012-03-01T06:59:53Z

This can aid with testing the RX logic for bad CRCs. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

e100: Support RXFCS feature flag.

2012-03-01T06:36:56Z

This allows e100 to be configured to append the Ethernet FCS to the skb. Useful for sniffing networks. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

drivers/net: Remove alloc_etherdev error messages

alloc_etherdev has a generic OOM/unable to alloc message. Remove the duplicative messages after alloc_etherdev calls. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
