44c1d6f99d smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier.  This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.

Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up.  On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.

The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode.  When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.

Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval.  An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

69145635d4 tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.

This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.

Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

4783256ef9 virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net

For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.

This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.

If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

17d04500e2 bonding: Fix updating of speed/duplex changes
This patch corrects an omission from the following commit:

Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 2 18:21:58 2008 -0700

    bonding: refactor mii monitor

	The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.

	The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date.  This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

6901031372 bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.
The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode.  This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.

Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully.  Also update version to 1.9.3.

Thomas Chenault <thomas_chenault@dell.com> helped us find this problem.

zd_op_tx() must not return an arbitrary error value since that can
leave mac80211 trying to retransmit the frame and with the extra data
pushed into the beginning of the skb on every attempt, this will end up
causing a kernel panic (skb_under_panic from skb_push call). This can
happen, e.g., when ejecting the device when associated.

ea8dbdd170 r8169: revert "r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)"

The patch appeared to work on x86 for the following systems:

5a89392225 mv643xx_eth: fix unicast address filter corruption on mtu change
When mv643xx_eth_open() is called to up an interface, port_start()
will first re-program the unicast address filter, and then
re-initialise the PORT_CONFIG register, but that will disable unicast
promiscuous mode if it was enabled by the unicast address filter setup.

This isn't a problem on ifconfig up, as ->set_rx_mode() will be called
shortly afterwards which will program the filters again, but it does
trigger when changing the MTU, which calls mv643xx_eth_stop() and then
mv643xx_eth_open() by hand to repopulate the receive rings with skbuffs
of the new size.

Swap the initialisation of the PORT_START register and the call to
the unicast filter setup function to fix this.

52c0326bea zaurus: add usb id for motomagx phones
The Motorola MOTOMAGX phones (Z6, E8, Zn5 so far) are providing
combined ACM/BLAN USB configuration. Since it has Vendor Specific
class, the corresponding drivers (cdc-acm, zaurus) can't find it just
by interface info. This patch adds usb id so the zaurus driver can
properly handle this combined device.

05ffb3e287 usbnet: make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link()
Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of
defaulting to 1.  
     
This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a
driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls
netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate.  cdc_ether is an example of
such a driver.

2cf48a10aa veth: Fix carrier detect
The current implementation of carrier detect in veth is broken.
It reports the link is down until both sides of the veth pair
are administatively up and then forever after it reports link up.

So fix veth so that it only reports link up when both interfaces
of the pair are administratively up.

cac477e8f1 cdc_ether: add usb id for Ericsson F3507g
The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
it up.  This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.

Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.  See also

6709fe9a27 r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)
This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.

I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.

Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
