It is to provide a new NIC driver, ntxn(7D), for NX2031/NX2035 chipset. The requested release binding is micro/patch. The architecture and interfaces are clear enough to be an automatic case, I am marking it as "closed approved automatic". -Cecilia 1. Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: NetXen 10 Gigabit Ethernet Driver 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Lucy Wang 1.3 Date of This Document: 21 Jan, 2008 4. Technical Description This project is to integrate the driver for NetXen NX2031/NX2035 chipset into ON. This driver is important as it is adopted by the server platforms of IBM and HP. NetXen has software license agreement with Sun to allow Sun integrate this driver and distribute the software in both source and binary object code forms. According to the SLA, Sun has the right to make modification to the source code and distribute the modified driver in open source and binary forms. It is based on gldv3/nemo and mac_type plugin. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NAME | STABILITY LABEL | DESCRIPTION | +------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ | Interfaces Exported | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | ntxn | Committed | Driver name | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | SUNWntxn | Committed | Package name | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Interfaces Imported | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | Gldv3/Nemo | Consolidation Private | PSARC/2004/571 | | | | PSARC/2005/396 | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | Nemo MAC-Type Plugin | Consolidation Private | PSARC/2006/406 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ 6.
