The NS DP83815 is also a 100Mbps Ethernet MAC with integrated PHY.
Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX (PNIC-based). I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register layout are identical). I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
2000-07-06 06:02:04 +00:00
The NatSemi chip and the SiS 900 share many of the same features and
a fairly similar programming interface, hence both chips are supported
by the same driver.

This commit adds driver support for the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw. This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and alpha architectures.

Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX (PNIC-based). I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register layout are identical). I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
