Hayes suggested that the usual MAC{0, 4} register writes be completed
with writes to extended GigaMAC registers :
- 0xe0 .. 0xe5
- 0xf2 .. 0xf7

Registers 0xf0 and 0xf1 should be set to 0.

Vladislav Zolotarov 87b7ba3d24 bnx2x: Prevent restarting Tx during bnx2x_nic_unload
Tx queues were stopped before  bp->state was changed to a value different 
from BNX2X_STATE_OPEN, which allowed the bnx2x_tx_int() called from the 
NAPI context to re-enable it. This then allowed the netdev->ndo_start_xmit() 
to be called in the middle of the function reset and rings freeing. 

This patch changes bp->state to a value different 
from BNX2X_STATE_OPEN BEFORE disabling the Tx queues in order to restore the
broken protection against the above race in the bnx2x_tx_int().

Lennart Sorensen 93a3aa2593 r8169: Add support for D-Link 530T rev C1 (Kernel Bug 38862)
The D-Link DGE-530T rev C1 is a re-badged Realtek 8169 named DLG10028C,
unlike the previous revisions which were skge based.  It is probably
the same as the discontinued DGE-528T (0x4300) other than the PCI ID.

The PCI ID is 0x1186:0x4302.

Adding it to r8169.c where 0x1186:0x4300 is already found makes the card
be detected and work.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix cdc-phonet build
Date: Saturday 23 Jul 2011
From: Chris Clayton <chris2553@googlemail.com>
To: linux-net@vger.kernel.org

cdc-phonet does not presently build on linux-3.0 because there is no entry for it in
drivers/net/Makefile. This patch adds that entry.

I noticed that you took some time back in late 2009 to 'consolidate' the
split format-strings present in the bonding driver at the time and I've
decided I'm fine to leave them the way they are.  The main point of my
patch was to change the output and I would like to get that included.
Here is my updated patch...

Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v2] bonding: reduce noise during init

Many are using sysfs to configure bonding rather than module options, so
there is no need for bonding to throw this warning in normal cases.

Keep the message around when debugging is enabled as it might be useful
for someone desperate enough to enable debugging, but eliminate it
otherwise.

Andy Gospodarek f4bb2e9c4f bonding: fix string comparison errors
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another
(eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary
device or the currently active device.

This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya.  I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.

V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.

I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.

V3: Actually sending the proper patch....

Neil Horman 550fd08c2c net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared
After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

Neil Horman d887331506 net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flags
Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
flag is set properly
