Hello all,

Back in May 2011, I wrote a driver for VLANs (swconfig) for the ADM6996M switch
chip. It turned out that the ADM6996FC chip has the exact same identification
number. It is also quite similar in operation (the M is more advanced). I didn't
have an FC chip myself, and I didn't have a datasheet either. A slightly
modified version of my driver did appear to work, according one of the people
who helped me figure out how to differentiate an M model from an FC model. I
posted the modification to the mailing list, but I didn't ask for it to be
applied to OpenWRT trunk. I had no way to verify for myself that everything
worked as it should, so I did not want to sign off on it.

Currently, I was thinking that perhaps I'd like to implement priority queues for
the M model: there is now a VoIP line running over that switch. This sparked my
interest again, and I decided to do something else as well. I just bought a
cheap second hand Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7170. I intend to thoroughly test if the FC
chip in that box does what I expect it to do, and then submit the patch that
enables support for the FC chip in the driver.

And now I come to the request part and the reason I wrote this mail.

I've been searching for that blasted datasheet for the FC model again. And
frustratingly, it has actually been seen in the wild, at:

<http://www.infineon.convergy.de/upload/documents/techdoc/GF_15/Samurai_6FC_FCX_FHX_VAD_DS_Rev1.4.pdf>

Even more frustratingly, the Internet Archive has actually archived that
directory, but alas, it misses that file:

<http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.infineon.convergy.de/upload/documents/techdoc/GF_15/*>

That, right there, is really mean!

Does anybody here have that PDF? I could really use it!

And I should note that Infineon/ADMtek has sold a number of chips with ADM6996
in the name, and they differ greatly. While the FC model might be advertised as
a lower-power alternative for the F chip, they are not comparable from a driver
point of view. The L chip is similar to the F chip (so also not useful).
Interestingly, that I/IX model that is listed by the Internet Archive /is/ quite
similar to the M and FC models.

I hope someone can help me out!

Peter.
