| This driver is supposed to support: |
| |
| Mojave cards (single port PCI Gigabit) both copper and fiber |
| Oasis cards (single and dual port PCI-x Gigabit) copper and fiber |
| Kalahari cards (dual and quad port PCI-e Gigabit) copper and fiber |
| |
| The driver was actually tested on Oasis and Kalahari cards. |
| |
| TODO: |
| - move firmware loading to request_firmware() |
| - remove direct memory access of structures |
| - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings |
| |
| - use net_device_ops |
| - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats |
| - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void |
| - use compare_ether_addr |
| - GET RID OF MACROS |
| - work on all architectures |
| - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion |
| - do 64 bit correctly |
| - don't depend on order of union |
| - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary |
| looks like most aren't really useful |
| - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed |
| - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation |
| use ethtool instead |
| - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations |
| - don't keep private linked list of drivers. |
| - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure |
| - use PCI_DEVICE() |
| - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops |
| - NAPI? |
| - wasted overhead of extra stats |
| - state variables for things that are |
| easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ... |
| slotnumber, events, ... |
| - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper |
| - volatile == bad design => bad code |
| - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks |
| at problem |
