The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also add some to the complicity of this change. All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show improvement. Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job and deserves credit for that.

This is the FW blob and the relevant definitions without any logic. It also contains the minimal mandatory code changes to work with this FW but it does not contain enabling of the new features that this FW provides. This FW is needed for: - More efficient multi-queue - per queue statistics - Big-endian issue with MSI - Improved pause response Signed-off-by:

Statistics - Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics - Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent inconsistency with HW statistics - Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics - Removing unused variable stats_ticks - Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are shared per port and which are per function Signed-off-by:

Supporting the 57711 and 57711E - refers to in the code as E1H. The 57710 is referred to as E1. To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some rearrangement in the bnx2x.h file. A set of accessories macros were added to make access to the bnx2x structure more readable Signed-off-by:

Properly protect PHY access between two devices on the same board with a HW lock. Use GPIO to clear all previous configurations before changing link parameters. Shut down the external PHY in case of fan failure. Reducing the MDC/MDIO clock to 2.5MHz due to problems with some devices. Resolve the flow control response according to autoneg with external PHY. Unmasking all PHY interrupts in single write to prevent a race in the interrupts order. LASI indication fixes to work with peculiarities of PHYs. Disable MAC RX to avoid a HW bug when closing the MAC under traffic. Disable parallel detection on HiGig due to HW limitation. Updating the shared memory structure to work with the current bootcode.
