This is a backport of the current 2.6.18 version of skge and sky2 drivers for use with older kernels. The drivers depend on the CRC32 module.
It has been compiled and tested on RHEL (2.4) and 2.6.8 but should work on other kernels past that point. It does depend on ethtool_ops, if_vlan and mii support. This version is somewhat different than the current 2.6 version: * no suspend/resume or wake on LAN * no support for reading original MAC address * no support for MSI on sky2 * receive checksumming default off because earlier kernels often do not handle it properly with vlan's or PPP. * sky2 does not use NAPI because it required changes to netdevice.h and/or tweaking internals of netdevice interface to handle dual port status. * sky2 defaults to TSO off because until 2.6.13 there are issues with TCP congestion control and TSO. * sky2 doesn't use VLAN acceleration features probably doesn't make much difference. THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED, IT IS PROVIDED AS IS. In other words, go ahead and mail bug reports to me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but don't expect me to be able to fix them. http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/releases/skge-sky2-backport.tar.bz2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
