# 273366 21-Oct-2014 yongari

MFC r272730,273018:
Add support for QAC AR816x/AR817x Gigabit/Fast Ethernet controllers.
These controllers seem to have the same feature of AR813x/AR815x and
improved RSS support(4 TX queues and 8 RX queues). alc(4) supports
all hardware features except RSS. I didn't implement RX checksum
offloading for AR816x/AR817x just because I couldn't get
confirmation from the Vendor whether AR816x/AR817x corrected its
predecessor's RX checksum offloading bug on fragmented packets.
This change adds supports for the following controllers.
o AR8161 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8162 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o AR8171 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller
o AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller
o Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller

Relnotes: yes


# 273357 21-Oct-2014 yongari

MFC r272721:
Fix a long standing bug in MAC statistics register access. One
additional register was erroneously added in the MAC register set
such that 7 TX statistics counters were wrong.


# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 222107 19-May-2011 yongari

Fix typo.

# 217649 20-Jan-2011 yongari

Correct wrong definition of PM timer mask and adjust L1/PM timer
value. While I'm here enable all clocks before initializing
controller. This change should fix lockup issue seen on AR8152
v1.1 PCIe Fast Ethernet controller.

# 211105 09-Aug-2010 yongari

Add support for Atheros AR8151/AR8152 PCIe gigabit/fast ethernet
controller. These controllers are known as L1D(AR8151) and
L2CB/B2(AR8152). This change adds supports for the following
controllers.
o AR8151 v1.0(L1D) gigabit ethernet controller
o AR8151 v2.0(L1D) gigabit ethernet controller
o AR8152 v1.1(L2CB) fast ethernet controller
o AR8152 v2.0(L2CB2) fast ethernet controller
These controllers have the same feature of AR8131/AR8132 and
support improved power saving control. The user visible change at
this moment is reduced jumbo frame size from 9KB to 6KB. Many
thanks to Atheros for continuing to support FreeBSD.

# 210904 06-Aug-2010 yongari

Reduce Tx interrupt moderation timer from 50ms to 1ms. The default
value resulted in poor performance for UDP packets. With this
change, UDP bulk transfer performance is more than 940Mbps.

While I'm here fix a wrong register definition.


# 193880 10-Jun-2009 yongari

Add alc(4), a driver for Atheros AR8131/AR8132 PCIe ethernet
controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.
