2009-11-25ethtool: add support for block writing of EEPROMsMandeep Singh Baines1-4/+8
EEPROM write only supports byte writing. Add support for writing an arbitrary number of bytes at an arbitrary offset. Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-11-25ethtool: Add option to flash firmware image from specified file, to a device.Ajit Khaparde1-0/+15
This patch adds a new "-f" option to the ethtool utility to flash a firmware image specified by a file, to a network device. The filename is passed to the network driver which will flash the image on the chip using the request_firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is up to the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip. Usage: ethtool -f <interface name> <filename of firmware image> ethtool -f <interface name> <filename of firmware image> [ REGION-NUMBER-TO-FLASH ] Signed-off-by: Ajit Khaparde <ajitk@serverengines.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2009-11-25ethtool: Remove support for RX hashing by portBen Hutchings1-3/+0
The kernel-side support for this was removed by: commit 59089d8d162ddcb5c434672e915331964d38a754 Author: Santwona Behera <santwona.behera@sun.com> Date: Fri Feb 20 00:58:13 2009 -0800 ethtool: Add RX pkt classification interface Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2009-03-06ethtool: Support arbitrary speedsBen Hutchings1-2/+2
The speed and speed_hi fields of struct ethtool_cmd together represent a value in units of Mbit/s. The valid speed settings are hardware- dependent and should be checked by the driver. Remove our validation and allow arbitrary positive values. Continue to report 0 and -1 as "Unknown!" since some drivers will report these invalid values when the link is down.

2009-03-06ethtool: Manual page correctionsBen Hutchings1-3/+3
Fix the following nits, too small to deserve separate patches: There is a separator missing between -K and --offload. The first mention of -p says the long option is --blink, but it's really --identify. The [N] following -p has the brackets in italics, not the N. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

2008-01-12ethtool: correct man page for advertise mask value of 10gigAuke Kok1-1/+1
10 gigabit is defined as 0x1000 in the advertise mask. The man page mistakenly lists 0x800. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Sometimes the device decode logic just gets in the way so add a "force hex" option to register dump. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-02-09ethtool: flie option to register dumpStephen Hemminger1-1/+12
Add ability to take old raw dumps from a file and decode them. It is kind of limited because you still need to have same device as the raw file, but useful for maintainers to decode raw dumps. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-09-06ethtool v5: add autoneg advertise featureJeff Kirsher1-0/+24
adds the ability to change the advertised speed and duplex for a network interface. Previously, a network interface was only able to advertise all supported speed's and duplex's, or one individual speed and duplex. The feature allows the user to choose which supported speed's and duplex's to advertise by using the hex value.
