Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!

These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet +switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can +be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module. + +There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch". +The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically, +as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning +Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line +when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are: + + debug=NNN Debug printing level + dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card + spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree + hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds) + ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221 + iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221 + ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number + nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode + +There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters +on each port, called "dgrsfilt". + +Both the management tool and the filtering tool are available +separately from the following FTP site: + + ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/rightswitch/linux/ + +When nicmode=1, the board and driver operate as 4 or 6 individual +NIC ports (eth0...eth5) instead of as a switch. All switching +functions are disabled.
