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!

This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and

system cache line size type you are using.

help
|

Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
|
|
the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
|

obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.

NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
|
|
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
|
|
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
|
|
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
|
|
then say Y here.
|
|
|

See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more
|
|
information.

If in doubt, say N.

Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strict necessary since NAPI reduces

|
RX interrupts but itself. Although this reduces RX interrupts even at

|
low levels traffic at the cost of a small latency.

If in doubt, say Y.
