2013-01-22drivers/net: delete intel 486 panther onboard ethernet supportPaul Gortmaker1-1337/+0
This driver was specific to a "professional workstation" line of products from around 1993 that used the i82596 ethernet chip as an on-board ethernet solution. With a 486 processor, and the premium top of the line model maxing out at a clock speed of 50MHz, we can safely retire this support. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2012-06-06ethernet: Remove casts to same typeJoe Perches1-4/+4
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user. @@ type T; T *p; @@ - (T *)p + p A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer when it actually modified elements of the structure. Change the argument to a non-const pointer. A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse warning. Added it. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-02-06netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skbPradeep A Dalvi1-1/+1
Replaced deprecating dev_alloc_skb with netdev_alloc_skb in drivers/net/ethernet - Removed extra skb->dev = dev after netdev_alloc_skb Signed-off-by: Pradeep A Dalvi <netdev@pradeepdalvi.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-01-31drivers/net: Remove unnecessary k.alloc/v.alloc OOM messagesJoe Perches1-2/+0
alloc failures use dump_stack so emitting an additional out-of-memory message is an unnecessary duplication. Remove the allocation failure messages. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

replace it by ndo_set_rx_mode Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-08-10i825xx: Move the Intel 82586/82593/82596 based driversJeff Kirsher1-0/+1339
Move the drivers that use the i82586/i82593/i82596 chipsets into drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. There were 4 3Com drivers which were initially moved into 3com/, which now reside in i825xx since they all used the i82586 chip.
