Call for Marvell/SysKonnect Yukon II Gigabit Ethernet testers.

[Bruce M. Simpson]

Hi,

I successfully tested this driver under 7-CURRENT as of today on an ASUS 
Vintage AH-1 based system.

lspci has the following to say about it:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E 
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 19)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit 
Ethernet controller PCIe (Asus)
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
        Memory at fe4fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
        I/O ports at c800
        Expansion ROM at fe4c0000 [disabled]
        Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [5c] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ 
Queue=0/1 Enable-
        Capabilities: [e0] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 0

A few sample netperf runs between this system (AMD Athlon64 3000+) and 
an Intel Dothan 1.8Ghz based Lenovo T43 with bge(4) interconnected via a 
3Com 5-port gigabit workgroup switch reveal the following.

Another test, this time between the same box and a dual PIII 933Mhz 
running 6.1-RELEASE with an em(4) card and 66Mhz 64-bit PCI data path on 
the same workgroup switch:

anglepoise# netperf -t TCP_STREAM -I 99 -i 30,10 -H 192.168.123.6

...probably harder on the old machine than anything, it is very unlikely 
it could saturate at line rate.

Thank you for all the excellent work on this driver, I hope this data is 
useful.
