From b255e500c8dc111dd9efac1442a85a0dac913feb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 17:43:28 -0800 Subject: net: documentation: build a directory structure for drivers Documentation/networking/ is full of cryptically named files with driver documentation. This makes finding interesting information at a glance really hard. Move all those files into a directory called device_drivers (since not all drivers are for device) and fix up references.

III Series Ethercards (driver v1.18c and higher) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -This file contains the instructions and caveats for v1.18c and higher versions -of the 3c509 driver. You should not use the driver without reading this file. - -release 1.0 -28 February 2002 -Current maintainer (corrections to): - David Ruggiero - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -(0) Introduction - -The following are notes and information on using the 3Com EtherLink III series -ethercards in Linux. These cards are commonly known by the most widely-used -card's 3Com model number, 3c509. They are all 10mb/s ISA-bus cards and shouldn't -be (but sometimes are) confused with the similarly-numbered PCI-bus "3c905" -(aka "Vortex" or "Boomerang") series. Kernel support for the 3c509 family is -provided by the module 3c509.c, which has code to support all of the following -models: - - 3c509 (original ISA card) - 3c509B (later revision of the ISA card; supports full-duplex) - 3c589 (PCMCIA) - 3c589B (later revision of the 3c589; supports full-duplex) - 3c579 (EISA) - -Large portions of this documentation were heavily borrowed from the guide -written the original author of the 3c509 driver, Donald Becker. The master -copy of that document, which contains notes on older versions of the driver, -currently resides on Scyld web server: http://www.scyld.com/. - - -(1) Special Driver Features - -Overriding card settings - -The driver allows boot- or load-time overriding of the card's detected IOADDR, -IRQ, and transceiver settings, although this capability shouldn't generally be -needed except to enable full-duplex mode (see below). An example of the syntax -for LILO parameters for doing this: - - ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0 - -This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and -transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts -with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is -loaded as a module, only the IRQ may be overridden. For example, -setting two cards to IRQ10 and IRQ11 is done by using the irq module -option: - - options 3c509 irq=10,11 - - -(2) Full-duplex mode - -The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities. -In order to enable and successfully use full-duplex mode, three conditions -must be met: - -(a) You must have a Etherlink III card model whose hardware supports full- -duplex operations. Currently, the only members of the 3c509 family that are -positively known to support full-duplex are the 3c509B (ISA bus) and 3c589B -(PCMCIA) cards. Cards without the "B" model designation do *not* support -full-duplex mode; these include the original 3c509 (no "B"), the original -3c589, the 3c529 (MCA bus), and the 3c579 (EISA bus). - -(b) You must be using your card's 10baseT transceiver (i.e., the RJ-45 -connector), not its AUI (thick-net) or 10base2 (thin-net/coax) interfaces. -AUI and 10base2 network cabling is physically incapable of full-duplex -operation. - -(c) Most importantly, your 3c509B must be connected to a link partner that is -itself full-duplex capable. This is almost certainly one of two things: a full- -duplex-capable Ethernet switch (*not* a hub), or a full-duplex-capable NIC on -another system that's connected directly to the 3c509B via a crossover cable. - -Full-duplex mode can be enabled using 'ethtool'. - -/////Extremely important caution concerning full-duplex mode///// -Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more -limited than that provide by more modern network interface cards. Although -at the physical layer of the network it fully supports full-duplex operation, -the card was designed before the current Ethernet auto-negotiation (N-way) -spec was written. This means that the 3c509B family ***cannot and will not -auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any -circumstances, no matter how it is initialized***. If the full-duplex mode -of the 3c509B is enabled, its link partner will very likely need to be -independently _forced_ into full-duplex mode as well; otherwise various nasty -failures will occur - at the very least, you'll see massive numbers of packet -collisions. This is one of very rare circumstances where disabling auto- -negotiation and forcing the duplex mode of a network interface card or switch -would ever be necessary or desirable. - - -(3) Available Transceiver Types - -For versions of the driver v1.18c and above, the available transceiver types are: - -0 transceiver type from EEPROM config (normally 10baseT); force half-duplex -1 AUI (thick-net / DB15 connector) -2 (undefined) -3 10base2 (thin-net == coax / BNC connector) -4 10baseT (RJ-45 connector); force half-duplex mode -8 transceiver type and duplex mode taken from card's EEPROM config settings -12 10baseT (RJ-45 connector); force full-duplex mode - -Prior to driver version 1.18c, only transceiver codes 0-4 were supported. Note -that the new transceiver codes 8 and 12 are the *only* ones that will enable -full-duplex mode, no matter what the card's detected EEPROM settings might be. -This insured that merely upgrading the driver from an earlier version would -never automatically enable full-duplex mode in an existing installation; -it must always be explicitly enabled via one of these code in order to be -activated. - -The transceiver type can be changed using 'ethtool'. - - -(4a) Interpretation of error messages and common problems - -Error Messages - -eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2011. -These are "mostly harmless" message indicating that the driver had too much -work during that interrupt cycle. With a status of 0x2011 you are receiving -packets faster than they can be removed from the card. This should be rare -or impossible in normal operation. Possible causes of this error report are: - - - a "green" mode enabled that slows the processor down when there is no - keyboard activity. - - - some other device or device driver hogging the bus or disabling interrupts. - Check /proc/interrupts for excessive interrupt counts. The timer tick - interrupt should always be incrementing faster than the others. - -No received packets -If a 3c509, 3c562 or 3c589 can successfully transmit packets, but never -receives packets (as reported by /proc/net/dev or 'ifconfig') you likely -have an interrupt line problem. Check /proc/interrupts to verify that the -card is actually generating interrupts. If the interrupt count is not -increasing you likely have a physical conflict with two devices trying to -use the same ISA IRQ line. The common conflict is with a sound card on IRQ10 -or IRQ5, and the easiest solution is to move the 3c509 to a different -interrupt line. If the device is receiving packets but 'ping' doesn't work, -you have a routing problem. - -Tx Carrier Errors Reported in /proc/net/dev -If an EtherLink III appears to transmit packets, but the "Tx carrier errors" -field in /proc/net/dev increments as quickly as the Tx packet count, you -likely have an unterminated network or the incorrect media transceiver selected. - -3c509B card is not detected on machines with an ISA PnP BIOS. -While the updated driver works with most PnP BIOS programs, it does not work -with all. This can be fixed by disabling PnP support using the 3Com-supplied -setup program. - -3c509 card is not detected on overclocked machines -Increase the delay time in id_read_eeprom() from the current value, 500, -to an absurdly high value, such as 5000. - - -(4b) Decoding Status and Error Messages - -The bits in the main status register are: - -value description -0x01 Interrupt latch -0x02 Tx overrun, or Rx underrun -0x04 Tx complete -0x08 Tx FIFO room available -0x10 A complete Rx packet has arrived -0x20 A Rx packet has started to arrive -0x40 The driver has requested an interrupt -0x80 Statistics counter nearly full - -The bits in the transmit (Tx) status word are: - -value description -0x02 Out-of-window collision. -0x04 Status stack overflow (normally impossible). -0x08 16 collisions. -0x10 Tx underrun (not enough PCI bus bandwidth). -0x20 Tx jabber. -0x40 Tx interrupt requested. -0x80 Status is valid (this should always be set). - - -When a transmit error occurs the driver produces a status message such as - - eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82 - -The two values typically seen here are: - -0x82 -Out of window collision. This typically occurs when some other Ethernet -host is incorrectly set to full duplex on a half duplex network. - -0x88 -16 collisions. This typically occurs when the network is exceptionally busy -or when another host doesn't correctly back off after a collision. If this -error is mixed with 0x82 errors it is the result of a host incorrectly set -to full duplex (see above). - -Both of these errors are the result of network problems that should be -corrected. They do not represent driver malfunction. - - -(5) Revision history (this file) - -28Feb02 v1.0 DR New; major portions based on Becker original 3c509 docs - diff --git a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qla3xxx b/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qla3xxx deleted file mode 100644 index 2f2077e34d81..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qla3xxx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,46 +0,0 @@ -Copyright (c) 2003-2006 QLogic Corporation -QLogic Linux Networking HBA Driver - -This program includes a device driver for Linux 2.6 that may be -distributed with QLogic hardware specific firmware binary file. -You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the -GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software -Foundation (version 2 or a later version). - -You may redistribute the hardware specific firmware binary file -under the following terms: - - 1.

If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original -authors' reputations. - - Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software -patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free -program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the -program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. - - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. - - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - - 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains -a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed -under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, -refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" -means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: -that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another -language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in -the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". - -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of -running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program -is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the -Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). -Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's -source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you -conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate -copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the -notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; -and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License -along with the Program. - -You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion -of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in - whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any - part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third - parties under the terms of this License. - - c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively - when run, you must cause it, when started running for such - interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an - announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a - notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this - License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but - does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on - the Program is not required to print an announcement.) - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. - -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Program. - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. - - 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, -under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of -Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: - - a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable - source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections - 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, - - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three - years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your - cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete - machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be - distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium - customarily used for software interchange; or, - - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer - to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is - allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you - received the program in object code or executable form with such - an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) - -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a -special exception, the source code distributed need not include -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component -itself accompanies the executable. - -If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not -compelled to copy the source along with the object code. - - 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is -void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. -However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under -this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such -parties remain in full compliance. - - 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or -distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the -Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying -the Program or works based on it. - - 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the -Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the -original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to -these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to -this License. - - 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), -conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or -otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not -excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you -may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to -refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. - -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under -any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to -apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other -circumstances. - -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system, which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. - -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. - - 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the -original copyright holder who places the Program under this License -may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding -those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among -countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates -the limitation as if written in the body of this License. - - 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions -of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will -be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to -address new problems or concerns. - -Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any -later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions -either of that version or of any later version published by the Free -Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of -this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software -Foundation. - - 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free -programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author -to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free -Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes -make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals -of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and -of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. - - NO WARRANTY - - 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY -FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THE ENTIRE RISK AS -TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE -PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, -REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING -WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR -REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, -INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING -OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED -TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY -YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER -PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE -POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge b/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge deleted file mode 100644 index ce64e4d15b21..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/networking/LICENSE.qlge +++ /dev/null @@ -1,288 +0,0 @@ -Copyright (c) 2003-2011 QLogic Corporation -QLogic Linux qlge NIC Driver - -You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the -GNU General Public License (a copy of which is attached hereto as -Exhibit A) published by the Free Software Foundation (version 2). - - -EXHIBIT A - - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - Version 2, June 1991 - - Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA - Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies - of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. - - Preamble - - The licenses for most software are designed to take away your -freedom to share and change it.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING THIS DRIVER ------------------------------------------------ - -Important Notice FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS!!!! - -Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and -quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and -governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they -are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are -generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, -satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes -necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid -interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to -provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and -governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the -product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and -software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect -radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These -parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, -channel scanning, and human exposure. - -For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties -of the software provided in binary format with the wireless WLAN -adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any -patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that -have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, -utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have -not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for -ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear -no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated -with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under -the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and -(iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing -support to any third parties for such modified products. - -Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be -modules, and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval -upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and -system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be -non-compliant. - -The drivers available for download from SourceForge are provided as a -part of a development project. Conformance to local regulatory -requirements is the responsibility of the individual developer. As -such, if you are interested in deploying or shipping a driver as part of -solution intended to be used for purposes other than development, please -obtain a tested driver from Intel Customer Support at: - -http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/sb/CS-006408.htm - -1.
