Subject: [RFC] Support for unidirectional ethernet links
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:42:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282938138-17844-1-git-send-email-Kyle.D.Moffett@boeing.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm in the process of dusting off some old unidirectional fiber link
patches as part of support for a new custom hardware chassis.
Specifically, a critical piece of the hardware is unidirectional fiber
connections between independent computers, with data transmission
performed using UDP to a static ARP entry.
These first 2 RFC patches provide support for off-the-shelf gigabit
sky2 boards. I also have another fairly trivial patch to "ethtool"
which enables it to configure the new ethtool values.
If these patches are acceptable, I'm going to polish up and refine a
more invasive series which cleans up and extends some of the PHY
ethtool handling to allow PHYs to handle the unidirectional modes in
a driver-specific way.
Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
