Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
It seems Killer E2200/E2400 has a BIOS misconfiguration or silicon
bug which triggers DMA write errors when driver uses advertised
maximum payload size. Force the maximum payload size to 128 bytes
in DMA configuration.
This change should fix occasional DMA write errors reported on
Killer E2200.

These controllers seem to have the same feature of AR813x/AR815x and
improved RSS support(4 TX queues and 8 RX queues). alc(4) supports
all hardware features except RSS. I didn't implement RX checksum
offloading for AR816x/AR817x just because I couldn't get
confirmation from the Vendor whether AR816x/AR817x corrected its
predecessor's RX checksum offloading bug on fragmented packets.
This change adds supports for the following controllers.
o AR8161 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8162 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o AR8171 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller

controller. These controllers are known as L1D(AR8151) and
L2CB/B2(AR8152). This change adds supports for the following
controllers.
o AR8151 v1.0(L1D) gigabit ethernet controller
o AR8151 v2.0(L1D) gigabit ethernet controller
o AR8152 v1.1(L2CB) fast ethernet controller
o AR8152 v2.0(L2CB2) fast ethernet controller
These controllers have the same feature of AR8131/AR8132 and
support improved power saving control. The user visible change at
this moment is reduced jumbo frame size from 9KB to 6KB. Many
thanks to Atheros for continuing to support FreeBSD.

change, UDP bulk transfer performance is more than 940Mbps.

controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.
