  • A collection of expectations and operational details about how
    networking development takes place in the context of the netdev
    mailing list.

    The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique
    to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations
    that are already captured elsewhere.

    This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list
    FAQ, but it probably is more universally accessible here in tree.

    Since bonding supports configuration via iproute (netlink) and sysfs, I think
    it is time to purge the old ifenslave code out of Documentation/networking
    and update the documentation.

  • This is another one that makes sense to target for obsolescence, since
    it (a)appeared pre-1995, and (b)was rather rare, and (c)did not
    really have any statistically significant active linux user base.

    Removing this ISA 10Mbit driver support is unlikely to be even noticed
    by the user base of 3.9+ linux kernels, especially when the documentation
    clearly indicates the vintage with this text:

    "...designed to work with all kernels > 1.1.33"

  • These are old ISA 10Mbit cards from the 1st 1/2 of the 1990s and
    required manual jumper settings in order to configure them. Here
    we remove them on the premise that they are no longer used in any
    modern 3.9+ kernels.

  • The original intent of this file was to list limitations in
    drivers/hardware relating to multicast use, back when some
    modest hardware from the early 1990s did not support things
    we might take for granted today.

    I was intending to delete some now-gone MCA/token ring entries
    in this file, but once I opened it, I found it only contained
    information on the earliest (pre-2000) linux networking drivers.

    Checking the git history shows that the file hasn't been touched
    since 2005. Clearly nobody is actively consulting this file
    as a meaningful reference.

    Rather than add a "YES YES YES" line for all of the drivers we
    currently have, lets just take advantage of the fact that nobody
    is using the file to delete it.

    This has the side benefit of not having to do a line-by-line
    deletion of the file content as each older driver is expired.

  • This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.

    It gets rid of:
    - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
    - the drivers/net component
    - the Kbuild infrastructure around it
    - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
    - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
    - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
    - any associated token ring documentation.

  • Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
    environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
    expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
    programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
    This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
    particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
    which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
    to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

    The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
    forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
    which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
    translate it into packet processing rules.

    See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
    utilities.

  • This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
    cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
    instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
    that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
    not get enough data to work with and none of the
    configuration values will be used.

    At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
    data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.

    Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
    new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
    can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
    to convert from the original format.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
