net: rename and refactor eth_rand_ethaddr() function

2014-05-12T19:19:46+00:00

Some functions in include/net.h are ported from
include/linux/etherdevice.h of Linux Kernel.

For ex.
  is_zero_ether_addr()
  is_multicast_ether_addr()
  is_broadcast_ether_addr()
  is_valid_ether_addr();

So, we should use the same function name as that of Linux Kernel,
eth_rand_addr(), for consistency.

Besides, eth_rand_addr() has been implemented as an inline function.
So it should not be surrounded by #ifdef CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR.

net: execute "miiphy_init" if CONFIG_PHYLIB defined

2014-02-07T14:16:36+00:00

In "common/Makefile" "miiphyutil.o" gets built if any of the following
items enabled:
 * CONFIG_PHYLIB
 * CONFIG_MII
 * CONFIG_CMD_MII

So it's possible to not define CONFIG_MII or CONFIG_CMD_MII and still
use functions like "miiphy_get_dev_by_name".

In its turn "miiphy_get_dev_by_name" traverses "mii_devs" list which is
not initialized because "miiphy_init" never got called.

net: Improve the speed of netconsole

2012-09-24T18:55:43+00:00

Previously u-boot would initialize the network interface for every
network operation and then shut it down again.  This makes sense for
most operations where the network in not known to be needed soon after
the operation is complete.  In the case of netconsole, it will use the
network for every interaction with the shell or every printf.  This
means that the network is being reinitialized very often.  On many
devices, this intialization is very slow.

This patch checks for consecutive netconsole actions and leaves the
ethernet hardware initialized between them.  It will still behave the
same old way for all other network operations and any time another
network operation happens between netconsole operations.

api: net: fix length check in eth_receive()

2012-09-24T18:17:24+00:00

If the requested length is too small to hold the received packet,
eth_receive() will return -1 and will leave the packet in the receive
buffers. Instead of returning an error in this case, we return the first
portion of the received packet and remove it from the receive buffers.

This fixes FreeBSD's ubldr. Without this patch it will just stop receiving
packets if the NIC receives more than PKTBUFSRX too large packets.

net: allow setting env enetaddr from net device setting

2012-07-11T18:15:32+00:00

If the net driver has setup a valid ethernet address and an ethernet
address is not set in the environment already, then set the environment
variables from the net driver setting.

This enables pxe booting on boards which don't set ethaddr env variable.
