[hamradio dmascc] convert embedded net_device to dynamic allocation
ChangeSet@1.1519, 2003-12-07 13:39:29-05:00, viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk
net_device and netdev private struct allocation improvements.
1) Ensure alignment of both net_device and private area.
2) Introduce netdev_priv(), an inline which allows the dynamic private
area (dev->priv) to be calculated as a constant offset from the
base struct net_device at compile time.

[PATCH] 8139too tx queue handling fix
Hi,
netif_stop_queue(dev);
[....]
netif_start_queue(dev);
netif_wake_queue(dev);
and
netif_stop_queue(dev);
[....]
netif_wake_queue(dev);
is not same. After tx_timeout, this was needed for restarting tx work
immediately.
Are you interested in this patch?

[netdrvr r8169] fix RX
Brown paper bag time: the Rx descriptors are contiguous and EORbit only
marks the last descriptor in the array. OWNbit implicitly marks the end
of the Rx descriptors segment which is owned by the nic.

[netdrvr r8169] Merge of timer related changes from Realtek:
- changed their timeout value from 100 to HZ to trigger rtl8169_phy_timer();
- s/TX_TIMEOUT/RTL8169_TX_TIMEOUT/ to have RTL8169_{TX/PHY}_TIMEOUT.
ChangeSet@1.1508, 2003-12-07 13:07:25-05:00, romieu@fr.zoreil.com
[netdrvr r8169] Merge of changes done by Realtek to rtl8169_init_one():
- phy capability settings allows lower or equal capability as suggested
in Realtek's changes;
- I/O voodoo;

- s/rtl8169_hw_PHY_config/rtl8169_hw_phy_config/;
- rtl8169_hw_phy_config(): ad-hoc struct "phy_magic" to limit duplication
of code (yep, the u16 -> int conversions should work as expected);
- variable renames and whitepace changes ignored.

functions).
