Mon Feb 14 15:06:00 CEST 2011 - opendevel@weberhofer.at

- 1.3.10a

- 82579: Don't allow jumbo frames to be configured when MACsec enabled 
in EEPROM

- 82567LM-3/82567LF-3/82567V-4: use MAC-based WoL instead of PHY-based 
WoL. The unsupported PHY-based WoL was inadvertently enabled when 
support was added for 82577/82578, and could cause problems in Sx 
states.

- Do not increment tx_timeout statistic when normally resetting the 
adapter when there is outstanding transmit work.

- Do not run any scheduled tasks when adapter is going down, otherwise a 
deadlock may occur.

- Miscellaneous comment/printk typos

- 82579: Update EEE timer value to prevent link from dropping

- Various minor changes based on static analysis of the driver code

- Prevent adapter from being reset when passing traffic and re-starting 
auto-negotiation via 'ethtool -r ethX'

possible (commit ed4ba4b5)

147b2c8c)

- Use kmemdup rather than duplicating its implementation

- Fix sparse warnings

- 82579: fails ethtool online diagnostic link test when connected to 
certain switches. Extend the timeout to acquire link to 5 seconds and 
document the issue.

- Use ether_crc_le rather than duplicating its implementation

- 8257x: do not ignore return from e1000_get_phy_id)82571()

ethtool diagnostics and WoL is disabled.

- Use vzalloc instead of vmalloc/memset
