| This driver is supposed to support: | |
| Mojave cards (single port PCI Gigabit) both copper and fiber | |
| Oasis cards (single and dual port PCI-x Gigabit) copper and fiber | |
| Kalahari cards (dual and quad port PCI-e Gigabit) copper and fiber | |
| The driver was actually tested on Oasis and Kalahari cards. | |
| TODO: | |
| - move firmware loading to request_firmware() | |
| - remove direct memory access of structures | |
| - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings | |
| - use net_device_ops | |
| - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats | |
| - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void | |
| - use compare_ether_addr | |
| - GET RID OF MACROS | |
| - work on all architectures | |
| - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion | |
| - do 64 bit correctly | |
| - don't depend on order of union | |
| - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary | |
| looks like most aren't really useful | |
| - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed | |
| - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation | |
| use ethtool instead | |
| - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations | |
| - don't keep private linked list of drivers. | |
| - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure | |
| - use PCI_DEVICE() | |
| - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops | |
| - NAPI? | |
| - wasted overhead of extra stats | |
| - state variables for things that are | |
| easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ... | |
| slotnumber, events, ... | |
| - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper | |
| - volatile == bad design => bad code | |
| - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks | |
| at problem | |
