2008-02-28rt2x00: Add link tuner safe RX toggle statesIvo van Doorn
This adds 2 new states which both are used to toggle the RX. These new states are required for usage inside the link tuner thread, because the normal RX toggling will stop the link tuner thread. While it is possible that the link tuner thread itself is the caller of the RX toggle (when using software antenna diversity). Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-28rt2x00: Fix antenna diversityIvo van Doorn
Fix 2 issues in antenna diversity selection. 1) the following statement will always return true. if ((rssi_curr - rssi_old) > -5 || (rssi_curr - rssi_old) < 5) It is cleaner to check if the absolute value is smaller then 5. 2) Only enable software diversity when default antenna setup indicates support for it. Don't select it when the hardware does not indicate support for it... Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-02-24ixgb: add RNBC counter - no buffer count - to ethtool statsAuke Kok
This counter is valuable to determine if the system is unable to timely return buffers to the hardware and this counter starts to increase well before the hardware starts to drop packets. If users experience rx_no_buffer_count increasing, they should increase the amount of descriptors. That will provide more buffers for the hardware and will decrease the chance of hard drops.

2008-02-23ehea: add kdump supportThomas Klein
This patch adds kdump support to the ehea driver. As the firmware doesn't free resource handles automatically, the driver has to run an as simple as possible free resource function in case of a crash shutdown. The function iterates over two arrays freeing all resource handles which are stored there. The arrays are kept up-to-date during normal runtime. The crash handler fn is triggered by the recently introduced PPC crash shutdown reg/unreg functions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Klein <tklein@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2008-02-15b43legacy: Add driver load messagesStefano Brivio
This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded. This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot. Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git). This helps users to select the right firmware for their device. This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right firmware for the driver. (The script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string.) While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which people _should_ use.
