016cc85072 [PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpc
The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.

It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.

Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

4371dc6c60 [PATCH] pcnet32: Prevent hang with 79c976
Some boards using the 79c976 pcnet32 chip will hang the system if the
ethtool --register-dump is performed with the device operational.  The
request to read bcr30 is retried by the PCI device infinitely without
returning data, hanging the system.

Tested ia32 and ppc64.

2964bbd704 [PATCH] pcnet32: AT2700/2701 and Bugzilla 2699 & 4551
This patch is a better fix for Allied Telesyn 2700/2701 FX boards than
the change made in early January this year.  It allows the user to
select the speed/duplex via module_param, but if no selection is made,
forces the speed to 100 FD.  It fixes both Bugzilla bugs 2669 and 4551.
Tested ia32 and ppc64 by myself, and by the originator of bug 2669.

a88c844c17 [PATCH] pcnet32: show name of failing device
Display the name eth%d or pci_name() of device which fails to allocate
memory.  When changing ring size via ethtool, it also releases the
lock before returning on error.  Added comment that the caller of
pcnet32_alloc_ring must call pcnet32_free_ring on error, to avoid leak.
Tested ia32 by forcing allocation errors.

76209926e3 [PATCH] pcnet32: set min ring size to 4
Don Fry reminded me that the pcnet32_loopback_test() asssumes the ring size
is no less than 4.  The minimum ring size was changed to 4 in
pcnet32_set_ringparam() to allow the loopback test to work unchanged.

- Set minimum ring size to 4 to allow loopback test to work unchanged
- Moved variable init_block to first field in struct pcnet32_private

eabf041516 [PATCH] pcnet32: set_ringparam implementation
This patch implements the set_ringparam(), one of the ethtool operations,
which allows changing tx/rx ring sizes via ethtool.

- Changed memery allocation of tx/rx ring from static to dynamic
- Implemented set_ringparam()
- Tested on i386 and ppc64

689be43945 [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

	... skb->tail ...

But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.

Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.

Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
