Linux native driver (MEN) for 16Z077_ETH and 16Z087_ETH
Download 13z07790.zip (2018-01-19) commit 2b15ba68456f0dcbf703a1fb875435dde64be4c7 (tag: 13Z077-90_02_00)

R: 1. major rework due to code for many EOL cards and simplified MAC address retrieval
2. Driver version can't be identified quick and simple to help MEN support
M: 1a. changed MAC retrieval order: 1. MAC registers 2. MAC EEPROM. 3. board ID EEPROM. 4. fallback: random MAC.
1b. removed support for old Z077 Core, P511, several PPC cards. Code size reduced by ca. 50%.
1c. use current DMA API, not pci_xxx DMA functions as recommended in kernel documentation.
1d. update version to 2.0
2. MODULE_VERSION() with git version stamp added to driver, can be dumped with modinfo tool (modinfo men_lx_z77)

men_16z077_eth.c
R: 1. Compilerwarning: incompatible pointer type of .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid
2. several compilerwarnings about typecasts with gcc 4.8, kernel 3.14
M: 1. corrected declaration of z77_vlan_rx_add_vid
2. changed variable types to appropriate ones, use unsigned long etc.
Tested with iperf under Archlinux kernel 3.14.6
-----[ Revision 1.15 ]-----
[ 2014-06-17 16:11:02 by ts ]
men_16z077_eth.c
R: 1. from kernel 3.10 on build failed because of undefined symbols
2. under Arch linux 3.10.10 the board ID EEPROM wasnt found on F011C
M: 1. replace NETIF_xxx flags for VLAN support with xxx_CTAG_ as in 3.10.0 and up
2. increased I2C_MAX_ADAP_CNT to 32
-----[ Revision 1.14 ]-----
[ 2013-10-02 14:53:16 by ts ]
R: 1. on F75P transfers were hanging under heavy load
2. during tests on F75P multiple instances of netio etc. stopped working
M: 1. corrected typo in z77_irq (all IRQs except RXE were ack'ed, not RXF)
2. in send_packet() free skb buffers also before return due to TX busy
-----[ Revision 1.13 ]-----
[ 2013-07-10 18:39:17 by ts ]
R: minimum Framelen 0x40 made problem in customer application due
to PACKLEN register interpreting the value without FCS
M: changed header file, reverted this files last work checking for
other CPU back to 1.38 to avoid other side effects
-----[ Revision 1.12 ]-----
[ 2013-03-23 14:19:05 by ts ]

[ 2013-03-08 17:48:25 by ts ]
R: 1. upon TX timeouts driver could hang
2. very high IRQ load (broadcast storm from looped switch) could cause hang
M: 1. moved .ndo_tx_timeout handler into process context (reset_task)
2. reworked IRQ masking/reenabling in z77_irq (Busy IRQ reenabling etc.)
-----[ Revision 1.10 ]-----
[ 2012-11-06 20:31:30 by ts ]
R: 1. support for Multicast reception requested by customer
2. MAC addresses for x86 boards were not generated according to ident EEprom
3. build failed for kernel versions > 3.0
M: 1. added hash CRC calculation and hash bin setting

[ 2011-03-16 19:18:08 by ts ]

[ 2010-11-25 17:51:39 by ts ]

3) new PHYs introduced in F218, F11S
4) MM1 MAC address wasnt fetched from EEPROM

3) added PHY IDs of broadcom 54xx and MEN dummy PHY inside IP core
4) added I2C bit banging to read out MM1 MAC EEPROM
-----[ Revision 1.5 ]-----
[ 2010-03-08 14:57:26 by ts ]
R: 1) driver used deprecated interrupt routine flags, caused warnings
2) link status change information for ethtool was missing
M: 1) use updated driver file with new IRQ flags
2) driver performs periodic link state monitoring and change reporting
-----[ Revision 1.4 ]-----
[ 2009-02-18 14:24:02 by GLeonhardt ]
R:1. use for NIOS2
M.1. possibility of usage without PCI

+ support for P511 Dual Ethernet PMC, multiple 16Z087 instances
+ support for non-PCI-DMA mode where predictable system behaviour is desired
+ men_16z077_eth.c:
NAPI interface changed in kernel 2.6.23
