Log:
Tweak the Macronix driver to hopefully make it more reliable:
- Change to the same transmit scheme as the PNIC driver.
- Dynamically set the cache alignment, and set burst size the same as
the PNIC driver in mx_init().
- Enable 'store and forward' mode by default. This is the slowest option
and it does reduce 100Mbps performance somewhat, but it's the most
reliable setting I can find. I'm more interested in having the driver
work reliably than trying to squeeze the best performance out of it.
The reason I'm doing this is that on *some* systems you may see a lot
of transmit underruns (which I can't explain: these are *fast* test
systems) and these errors seem to cause unusual and decidedly
non-tulip-like behavior. In normal 10Mbps mode, performance is fine
(you can easily saturate a 10Mbps link).
Also tweak some of the other drivers:
- Increase the size of the TX ring for the Winbond, ASIX, VIA Rhine
and PNIC drivers.
- Set a larger value for ifq_maxlen in the ThunderLAN driver. The setting
of TL_TX_LIST_CNT - 1 is too low (the ThunderLAN driver only allocates
20 transmit descriptors, and I don't want to fiddle with that now
because the ThunderLAN's descriptor structure is an oddball size
compared to the others).
