|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Synchronize PHY interface on non-ME systems.**
|
||||
|
||||
On power up, the MAC - PHY interface needs to be set to PCIe, even if
|
||||
cable is disconnected. In ME systems, the ME handles this on exit from
|
||||
Sx(Sticky mode) state. In non-ME, the driver handles it. Add a check
|
||||
for non-ME system to the driver code that handles that.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Increase timeout of reset check.**
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, in check_reset_block RSPCIPHY was polled for 100 ms before
|
||||
determining that the ME veto is set. It's not enough. It need to be increased
|
||||
to 300 ms.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Disable IPv6 extension header parsing on 82575.**
|
||||
|
||||
Disable IPv6 options as per hardware limitation.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Prevent ULP flow if cable connected.**
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling ulp on link down when cable is connect caused an infinite
|
||||
loop of linkup/down indications in the NDIS driver.
|
||||
After discussed, correct flow is to enable ULP only when cable is
|
||||
disconnected.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Support different EEARBC for i210.**
|
||||
|
||||
EEARBC has changed on i210. It means EEARBC has a different address on
|
||||
i210 than on other NICs. So, add a new entity named EEARBC_I210 to the
|
||||
register list and make sure the right one is being used on i210.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix K1 configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
This patch is for the following updates to the K1 configurations:
|
||||
Tx idle period for entering K1 should be 128 ns.
|
||||
Minimum Tx idle period in K1 should be 256 ns.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix link detect flow**
|
||||
|
||||
In case that auto-negotiate is not enabled, call
|
||||
e1000_setup_copper_link_generic instead of e1000_phy_setup_autoneg.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix link check for i354 M88E1112 PHY**
|
||||
|
||||
e1000_check_for_link_media_swap() is supposed to check PHY page 0 for
|
||||
copper and PHY page 1 for "other" (fiber) link. We switched back from
|
||||
page 1 to page 0 too soon, before e1000_check_for_link_82575() is
|
||||
executed and we were never finding link on fiber (other).
|
||||
|
||||
If the link is copper, as the M88E1112 page address is set to 1, it should be
|
||||
set back to 0 before checking this link.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix beacon duration for i217**
|
||||
|
||||
Fix for I217 Packet Loss issue - The Management Engine sets the FEXTNVM4
|
||||
Beacon Duration incorrectly. This fix ensures that the correct value will
|
||||
always be set. Correct value for this field is 8 usec.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix TIPG for non 10 half duplex mode**
|
||||
|
||||
TIPG value is increased when setting speed to 10 half to prevent
|
||||
packet loss. However, it was never decreased again when speed
|
||||
changes. This caused performance issues in the NDIS driver.
|
||||
Fix this to restore TIPG to default value on non 10 half.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix reset of DH89XXCC SGMII**
|
||||
|
||||
For DH89XXCC_SGMII, write flush leaves registers of this device trashed
|
||||
(0xFFFFFFFF). Add check for this device.
|
||||
Also, after both for Port SW Reset and Device Reset case, platform should
|
||||
wait at least 3ms before reading any registers. Since waiting is
|
||||
conditionally executed only for Device Reset - remove the condition.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix redundant PHY power down for i210**
|
||||
|
||||
Bit 11 of PHYREG 0 is used to power down PHY. The use of PHYREG 16 is
|
||||
unnecessary any more.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: fix jumbo frame CRC failures**
|
||||
|
||||
Change the value of register 776.20[11:2] for jumbo mode from 0x1A to 0x1F.
|
||||
This is to enlarge the gap between read and write pointers in the TX Fifo.
|
||||
And replace the magic number with a macro by the way.
|
||||
|
||||
* **e1000/base: Fix link flap on 82579**
|
||||
|
||||
Several customers have reported a link flap issue on 82579. The symptoms
|
||||
are random and intermittent link losses when 82579 is connected to specific
|
||||
switches. Issue has been root caused as interoperability problem between
|
||||
the NIC and at least some Broadcom PHYs in the Energy Efficient Ethernet
|
||||
wake mechanism.
|
||||
To fix the issue, we are disabling the Phase Locked Loop shutdown in 100M
|
||||
Low Power Idle. This solution will cause an increase of power in 100M EEE
|
||||
link. It may cost additional 28mW in this specific mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* **igb: Fixed IEEE1588 frame identification in I210.**
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed issue where the flag PKT_RX_IEEE1588_PTP was not being set
