From 25bfa75395f7a9ef7f2e7969b839b3abd6d8e858 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wpaul Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2000 03:14:49 +0000 Subject: Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the CATC USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market. The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made by SMC :/ ). Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining. This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points. --- release/sysinstall/devices.c | 1 + release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT | 13 +++++++++++++ release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT | 10 ++++++++++ release/texts/i386/HARDWARE.TXT | 6 ++++++ release/texts/i386/RELNOTES.TXT | 10 ++++++++++ 5 files changed, 40 insertions(+) (limited to 'release') diff --git a/release/sysinstall/devices.c b/release/sysinstall/devices.c index a7591b9..32b8e7d 100644 --- a/release/sysinstall/devices.c +++ b/release/sysinstall/devices.c @@ -86,6 +86,7 @@ static struct _devname { { DEVICE_TYPE_FLOPPY, "fd%d", "floppy drive unit A", 2, 0, 64, 4, 'b' }, { DEVICE_TYPE_FLOPPY, "worm%d", "SCSI optical disk / CDR", 23, 0, 1, 4, 'b' }, { DEVICE_TYPE_NETWORK, "aue", "ADMtek USB ethernet adapter" }, + { DEVICE_TYPE_NETWORK, "cue", "CATC USB ethernet adapter" }, { DEVICE_TYPE_NETWORK, "fpa", "DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI card" }, { DEVICE_TYPE_NETWORK, "sr", "SDL T1/E1 sync serial PCI card" }, { DEVICE_TYPE_NETWORK, "cc3i", "SDL HSSI sync serial PCI card" }, diff --git a/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT b/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT index 1786f81..18d2c7a 100644 --- a/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT +++ b/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT @@ -370,6 +370,13 @@ ADMtek Inc.
