This is a common low-cost OEM pocket ethernet adapter, sold under many names. Sources: This driver was written from the packet driver assembly code provided by Vincent Bono of AT-Lan-Tec. Ever try to figure out how a complicated device works just from the assembly code? It ain't pretty. The following description is written based on guesses and writing lots of special-purpose code to test my theorized operation. In 1997 Realtek made available the documentation for the second generation RTL8012 chip, which has lead to several driver improvements. http://www.realtek.com.tw/ Theory of Operation The RTL8002 adapter seems to be built around a custom spin of the SEEQ controller core. It probably has a 16K or 64K internal packet buffer, of which the first 4K is devoted to transmit and the rest to receive. The controller maintains the queue of received packet and the packet buffer access pointer internally, with only 'reset to beginning' and 'skip to next packet' commands visible. The transmit packet queue holds two (or more?) packets: both 'retransmit this packet' (due to collision) and 'transmit next packet' commands must be started by hand. The station address is stored in a standard bit-serial EEPROM which must be read (ughh) by the device driver. (Provisions have been made for substituting a 74S288 PROM, but I haven't gotten reports of any models using it.) Unlike built-in devices, a pocket adapter can temporarily lose power without indication to the device driver. The major effect is that the station address, receive filter (promiscuous, etc.) and transceiver must be reset. The controller itself has 16 registers, some of which use only the lower bits. The registers are read and written 4 bits at a time. The four bit register address is presented on the data lines along with a few additional timing and control bits. The data is then read from status port or written to the data port. Correction: the controller has two banks of 16 registers. The second bank contains only the multicast filter table (now used) and the EEPROM access registers. Since the bulk data transfer of the actual packets through the slow parallel port dominates the driver's running time, four distinct data (non-register) transfer modes are provided by the adapter, two in each direction. In the first mode timing for the nibble transfers is provided through the data port. In the second mode the same timing is provided through the control port. In either case the data is read from the status port and written to the data port, just as it is accessing registers. In addition to the basic data transfer methods, several more are modes are created by adding some delay by doing multiple reads of the data to allow it to stabilize. This delay seems to be needed on most machines. The data transfer mode is stored in the 'dev->if_port' field. Its default value is '4'. It may be overridden at boot-time using the third parameter to the "ether=..." initialization. The header file <atp.h> provides inline functions that encapsulate the register and data access methods. These functions are hand-tuned to generate reasonable object code. This header file also documents my interpretations of the device registers. */ #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/types.h> #include <linux/fcntl.h> #include <linux/interrupt.h> #include <linux/ioport.h> #include <linux/in.h> #include <linux/string.h> #include <linux/errno.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/crc32.h> #include <linux/netdevice.h> #include <linux/etherdevice.h> #include <linux/skbuff.h> #include <linux/spinlock.h> #include <linux/delay.h> #include <linux/bitops.h> #include <asm/io.h> #include <asm/dma.h> #include "atp.h" MODULE_AUTHOR(…) …; MODULE_DESCRIPTION(…) …; MODULE_LICENSE(…) …; module_param(max_interrupt_work, int, 0); module_param(debug, int, 0); module_param_hw_array(io, int, ioport, NULL, 0); module_param_hw_array(irq, int, irq, NULL, 0); module_param_array(…); MODULE_PARM_DESC(…) …; MODULE_PARM_DESC(…) …; MODULE_PARM_DESC(…) …; MODULE_PARM_DESC(…) …; MODULE_PARM_DESC(…) …; /* The number of low I/O ports used by the ethercard. */ #define ETHERCARD_TOTAL_SIZE … /* Sequence to switch an 8012 from printer mux to ethernet mode. */ static char mux_8012[] = …; struct net_local { … }; /* This code, written by [email protected], resets the adapter every TIMED_CHECKER ticks.
