1 This driver is supposed to support:
3 Mojave cards (single port PCI Gigabit) both copper and fiber
4 Oasis cards (single and dual port PCI-x Gigabit) copper and fiber
5 Kalahari cards (dual and quad port PCI-e Gigabit) copper and fiber
7 The driver was actually tested on Oasis and Kalahari cards.
10 - move firmware loading to request_firmware()
11 - remove direct memory access of structures
12 - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings
15 - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats
16 - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void
17 - use compare_ether_addr
19 - work on all architectures
20 - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion
22 - don't depend on order of union
23 - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary
24 looks like most aren't really useful
25 - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed
26 - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation
28 - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations
29 - don't keep private linked list of drivers.
30 - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure
32 - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops
34 - wasted overhead of extra stats
35 - state variables for things that are
36 easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...
37 slotnumber, events, ...
38 - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper
39 - volatile == bad design => bad code
40 - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks
