Jack F Vogel	b6582d0066	First off: update the driver README, the old one was horribly ... crusty, and this still isn't perfect, but its at least a bit more recent. Secondly, a few improvements to the driver from Andrew Boyer, support hint to allow devices to not attach, add VLAN_HWTSO capability so vlans can use TSO, fix in the interrupt handler to make sure the stack TX queue is processed. Oh, and also make sure IPv6 does not cause a re-init in the ioctl routine. Thanks for your efforts Andrew! Thanks to Claudio Jeker for noticing the ixgbe_xmit() routine was not correctly swapping the dma map from the first to the last descriptor in a multi-descriptor transmission, corrected this.	2011-06-02 00:34:57 +00:00

Jack F Vogel	9ca4041b6c	This is driver version 1.4.4 of the Intel ixgbe driver. ... -It has new hardware support -It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back -It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here. -Also bug fixes and etc... MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.	2008-05-16 18:46:30 +00:00
