Details: This project is to integrate the driver for Myricom's 10Gb Ethernet controller into ON. This driver is important due to its good performance. It is wanted especially in the HPC market. The Myricom 10Gb Ethernet driver is a Nemo based driver which will provide basic functions for the Myricom Ethernet hardware, and the DMA engines. It includes chip initialization, frame transmit and receive, multicast and promiscuous features. The driver will be supported on SPARC and x64 platforms. 4.2.

I think there was some desire to retaining naming consistency with other operating systems. I didn't care enough to argue about it. :-) I'd have preferred "mxge" or possibly just "myri". I *hate* it when people put numbers in the middle of their driver names. Paricularly in names that will be exposed to users. (So "ac97", which is a misc module is OK.

But I do not think we should refuse to integrate the driver due to its name. We had suggested to Myricom to rename the driver to something following our naming conventional better, such as mxge or myxge. But Myricom did not want to do so as they had exposed it to their customers and it might cause confusion to them. This driver is not the only one facing the naming issue in the IHV world. Currently, we do not have strict naming rules for the IHV to follow. Even there is such a rule, we might still have issues on evangelizing it to IHVs. A specific IHV may just work on its own from the beginning and present the driver later when it's ready enough or when they think it's good for their business to be a Solaris bundled driver. Still, it would be better if we can find a solution to address such issue. Thanks, Lucy > >> I'd have preferred "mxge" or possibly just "myri".

Unless it violates one of the already-expressed naming constraints or the bounds of good taste, I don't think we ought to do more than recommend that folks choose decent driver names. If they still refuse, and adamantly want to use an awkward name even after getting contrary advice, then I think our work is done. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
