A new version of the Kawasaki KL5USB101 ethernet driver is out. It's mostly fixes to
0.1 to make it work. These include:
- No longer hoses your network interfaces! (the autoincrementing ethXXX bug has gone
away) It was a pretty stupid bug I should have seen off the bat anyway...
- Downloads the firmware correctly, and only when needed.
- The packet loss has been greatly reduced. (From ~10% to >=2%)
I've gotten it working with both uhci.o and usb-uhci.o. I ran it on uhci.o over lunch
and it didn't drop a single packet. With usb-uhci.o i saw about 1 in 50 total get
dropped. Also the differences in latency may be of interest to the driver writers. I
was seeing a 6-11ms latency with uhci.o, and a 1.8-5ms latency with usb-uhci.o.
Multicast filtering still doesn't work, but i should get to that later this week.
