# 202120 11-Jan-2010 gallatin

Update mxge(4) firmware to 1.4.48b (latest available) from Myricom.
Pertinant highlights from Myricom CHANGES file include:

- Make sure invalid external smbus activity cannot affect performance
- Fix to avoid a bug where the link could sometimes stay reported as
up on after unplugging the cable.
- For 8B NIC, make smbus connection passive at init to avoid
possible address conflicts
- Increase number of slices to 17 for multi-slice fw
- Fix a bug where packets dropped because of link_overflow could
be occasionally reported as bad_crc32
- Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup
- On failover, send RARP broadcast to make the change immediately
known to the network
- Change endianess for PCI Device Serial Number
- For dual-port NICs, time to failover is now a few microsecs
instead of a few millisecs.

# 194747 23-Jun-2009 gallatin

Update mxge firmware from 1.4.39 to 1.4.43. Changes include:

- Support for 10G-PCIE*-8B*-C (dual-port CX4) NICs
- For dual-port NICs, f/w failover is now a few microsecs
instead of a few millisecs.
- On failover, f/w sends RARP broadcast to make the change
immediately known to the network
- Fixed a bug observed on IBM X3 architecture where
some spurious ecrc errors would be reported when OS enabled
ecrc support.

# 188736 17-Feb-2009 gallatin

Better support for recent Myricom 10GbE NICs

- Update to firmware 1.4.39 for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx)
support, and SFP+ i2c support

- Identify newer "B" NICs (10G-PCIEx-8B-x) correctly, rather than
mis-identifying them as "A" NICs (cosmetic only)

- Identify the IFM_10G_LRM ifmedia type, where applicable.

- Identify ifmedia types for SFP+ based NICs

- Update copyright

# 184211 23-Oct-2008 gallatin

Update to Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.36.

This update fixes a transmit bug in the multi-queue (MSI-X) firmware
which happens when RDMAs complete out of order, and provides
improved support for the new Myri10GE NIC models (10G-PCIE-8Bx)

# 183515 01-Oct-2008 gallatin

Update to Myri10GE firmware version 1.4.33 from 1.4.29. Relevant changes include:

- Support for Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B NICs

- multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
64-bit DMA addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
slices.

- Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e

# 176254 13-Feb-2008 gallatin

Make the type of the firmware arrays match those
in the other eth*_z8e.h files.


# 175365 15-Jan-2008 gallatin

Add optional support to mxge for MSI-X interrupts and multiple receive
queues (which we call slices). The NIC will steer traffic into up to
hw.mxge.max_slices different receive rings based on a configurable
hash type (hw.mxge.rss_hash_type).

Currently the driver defaults to using a single slice, so the default
behavior is unchanged. Also, transmit from non-zero slices is
disabled currently.
