I've gone ahead and done a conversion of dmfe to GLDv3 (nemo). I
actually have a dmfe device on SPARC (in this case its on a SPARC
laptop), so I figured this would be beneficial.
I'd like to have folks review the work at
http://cr.grommit.com/~gdamore/dmfe_gldv3/webrev
Great to see another driver ported to Nemo.
* DMFE doesn't support multiple rings, so I didn't bother with
"mac_resource_add". However, it could in theory support polling, but
since it appears that the polling framework for crossbow isn't
integrated yet, I didn't add it. (Its unclear whether its worth doing
this for a 100Mbps device anyway.)
If it's only for 100Mbs that sounds like a reasonable approach until the
full polling implementation is provided by Crossbow.
* DMFE could easily support multiple unicast addresses. If there is
value in this, I can go back and add the necessary bits to support it.
(I'm thinking this could be useful for VNICs.)
That would be definitely useful for VNICs. The VNIC driver in the
Crossbow gate currently takes advantage of that capability if it is
supported by the underlying NIC.
Thanks,
Nicolas.
