Greg Kroah-Hartman 4d6f6af8d6 Staging: add Alacritech slicoss network driver
This adds the Alacritech slicoss driver to the tree.

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 acutally 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
	- any netdev recommended changes

Many thanks to Lior Dotan <liodot@gmail.com> for help with the cleanup
of this driver.

Greg Kroah-Hartman cfb739b459 Staging: add et131x network driver
This is a driver for the ET1310 network device.

Based on the driver found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/et131x/

Cleaned up immensely by Olaf Hartman <o.hartmann@telovital.com> and Christoph
Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>

Note, the powermanagement options were removed from the vendor provided
driver as they did not build properly at the time.

TODO:
	- kernel coding style cleanups
	- forward port for latest network driver changes
	- kill useless typecasts (e.g. in et1310_phy.c)
	- alloc_etherdev is initializing memory with zero?!?
	- add_timer call in et131x_netdev.c is correct?
	- Add power saving functionality (suspend, sleep, resume)
	- Implement a few more kernel Parameter (set mac )
