similar to the PNIC I (supported by the pn driver). In fact, it's really
a Macronix 98715A with wake on LAN support added. According to LinkSys,
the PNIC II was jointly developed by Lite-On and Macronis. I get the
feeling Macronix did most of the work. (The datasheet has the Macronix
logo on it, and is in fact nearly identical to the 98715 datasheet, except
for the extra wake on LAN registers.) In any case, the PNIC II works just
fine with the Macronix driver.
The changes are:
- Move PCI ID for the PNIC II from the pn driver to the mx driver.
- Mention PNIC II support in mx.4.
- Mention PNIC II support in RELNOTES.TXT and HARDWARE.TXT.
PCI fast ethernet adapters, plus man pages.
if_pn.c: Netgear FA310TX model D1, LinkSys LNE100TX, Matrox FastNIC 10/100,
various other PNIC devices
if_mx.c: NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100 (Macronix 98713A), various
other boards based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A
and 98725 chips
if_vr.c: D-Link DFE530-TX, other boards based on the VIA Rhine and
Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards
that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI
device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't
really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
anyway.)
if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the
Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to
the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many
clones there are running around)
All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast
filtering.
Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and
sysinstall device list.
I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.
