This patch fixes throttling problems in the ftdi_sio driver for the
2.6 kernel.  The old throttling mechanism (unlinking the read urb)
often failed to work, and even it did work, would lose any data
held in the transfer buffer.  The new mechanism presented here is
based on what the whitehead driver does (defer processing and
resubmitting of the read urb until unthrottled).

This patch changes the return codes used by hub_port_wait_reset(),
hub_port_reset(), and hub_port_debounce() in hub.c.  I couldn't stand the
{-1=error, 0=okay, 1=disconnect} scheme; the meanings seemed arbitrary and
I constantly forgot which number stood for what status.  The revised code
uses normal negative error codes, including -ENOTCONN to indicate device
disconnected, or 0 for success.

This fixes a typo in the low level platform code that puts to sleep and
wakes up the USB cell.  This fixes a problem when pmdisk is used on
those machines (pmdisk patch not merged yet, soon maybe...)

Since Intel agreed to submit further updates via broken-up patches
like they do currently (and admirably) for e1000 and e100, I agreed
to merge this update to bring the driver up to speed.

Contributed by: Ayyappan.Veeraiyan@intel.com

Changes:

Features implemented

*	Support for new 850nm adapters.
*	Copyright notice updated to include year 2004.
*	Fix for "ixgb does not maintain non-default MTU setting across a
link loss" issue - When link loss happens in non-default MTU
environment, driver will incorrectly operate with default 1500 MTU
setting.
*	Netpoll support added
*	Ethtool support - status functionality, FlowControl interface,
Checksum interface, TSO and Scatter Gather interfaces
*	Race condition fix - Race condition (TX path) exists between
ixgb_xmit_frame and clean_tx_irq routines in handling the queue.
* 	Removed dead code segments (#if 0)


Performance improvement features 
*	Mod operator usage is removed - used to cause performance
problems in non-IA architecture based machines
*	Multiple ICR register read in ISR is avoided
*	RS bit set on only 'end of packet' TX descriptors - to avoid
multiple writebacks by controller for packets with multiple descriptors.
*	RX descriptors prefetch is done - improved 1500 MTU TX
performance


All relevant e1000 driver cleanups ported to ixgb
*	Valid error propagation in functions ixgb_up, ixgb_probe,
ixgb_open. 
* 	NAPI code cleanups
* 	u8, u16 and u32 data types are changed to uint8_t, uint16_t and
uint32_t respectively. We use these types on our shared code for
multiple OSes and also to make it uniform with e1000 driver.
*	Some functions in ixgb_main.c are moved to different location -
This enables easy porting of e1000 bug fixes to ixgb

The following patch to net/sk98lin/skvpd.c was put together by Marc Bouget,
mbouget at club-internet.fr.

This patch works around a corrupt EEPROM (VPD?) in the ASUS K8V Deluxe SE
motherboard ethernet chipset and allows the network driver to work
correctly.  We have written to ASUS and the sk98lin maintainers but have
not heard anything back.

Found another patch that should go with this batch:

Switch to netdev_priv(). Fix outdated comment and bump version number
while we're at it.

Replace USE_MEM and USE_IO with USE_MMIO define.

- Switch to 8 char tabs.
- Remove kernel log pointer to the scyld web site -- it's
  a) fairly irrelevant by now and
  b) gone.
- Remove Emacs Voodoo.
- More white space clean up, mostly coding style.

This patch renames symbols:
via_rhine_* -> rhine_*
struct netdev_private *np -> struct rhine_private *rp

Lucas Nussbaum and Dirk Koeppen each found independently that the code
for forcing media options in via-rhine is borked and suggested the fix
below. I've been sitting on this way too long because there is more
badness in the immediate vicinity which needs a bigger surgery.

The second hunk fixes a braino I managed to introduce myself.

Joe Perches pointed out an error in patch 8.  As I looked at the results
closer 3 out of 4 looked correct.  This fixes the output for the last
case.  Output is now the same on IA32 and PPC64 hardware.

the Broadcom BCM4401 driver restores pci configuration on resume only when the 
device is up. On my notebook, this leads to a failure when the device is down 
during the S3 cycle. Short solution for now: Always restore pci config.

Also included are driver version update and change logs

Reduce scope of tx_lock

1) Provides support for new FarSync cards T1U, T2U, T4U and TE1
2) Provides support for an E1 interface
3) Provides support for a variant of X.21 that allows transmit and
receive clocks
4) Provide a raw socket interface directly to the data from the line.
5) Improves performance with less time in interrupts and more in BH's

This patch avoids a timeout when entering/exiting promiscuous mode with
tcpdump.  All pending xmit operations are flushed and if the queue is
full the timeout will occur.  The wake_queue avoids that timeout.
Tested ppc64 and ia32.
