0.94 turned out to be the "not quite Ginseng" release, but lets try to rectify that :-) This is the "praying for powder snow up in Tahoe" release, or TAHOE for short. Get it at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davem/TIGON3/tg3-0.95.patch.gz [FIX] If we have to check the MAC_STAT register for link changes, do not do it from interrupts. Do it from a timer instead. Hey maybe the Dell onboard Tigon3 problems are fixed for real now. :-) [FIX] Off by one error in tg3_alloc_rx_skb() can lead to OOPS on ifdown. [FIX] 5700 chip interrupt status reporting protocol is racey, work around it. [DEBUG] Add assertions to TX ring processing. [NICETY] When link comes up, report negotiated flow control settings. [FEATURE] Adaptive RX coalescing. [FEATURE] Improved DMA bursting settings, major performance improvement especially on non-x86 platforms (in particular Alpha and Sparc64 should get 10MB/sec extra bandwidth out of this). [DOC] Add Configure.help entry for CONFIG_TIGON3 I'm really really really really really (NO, I MEAN REALLY) interested in performance comparisons of our 0.95 driver vs. Broadcom's stuff. But, there is one special condition if you report benchmark numbers. If our driver is faster _AND_ you are an _Australian_ in _Australia_, you must send Jeff and I a case of Victoria Bitter for a job well done. :-)))))) Note that this thing is to Marcelo very soon. So get testing! Franks a lot, David S.
