Some RTL8169 cards (observed with an RTL8169SC) crash and burn if DAC
is enabled, even if only 32-bit addresses are used. Observed
behaviour includes system lockups and repeated transmission of garbage
data onto the wire.
This seems to be a known problem. The Linux r8169 driver disables DAC
by default and provides a "use_dac" module parameter.
There appears to be no known test for determining whether or not DAC
will work. As a workaround, enable DAC only if we are built as as
64-bit binary. This at least eliminates the problem in the common
case of a 32-bit build, which will never use 64-bit addresses anyway.

On i350 the datasheet contradicts itself in stating that the default
value of RXDCTL.ENABLE for queue zero is both set (according to the

that the default value is unset.

On 82576 (and probably others), the datasheet states that "the tail
register of the queue (RDT[n]) should not be bumped until the queue is
enabled". There is some confusion over exactly what constitutes
"enabled": the initialisation blurb says that we should "poll the
RXDCTL register until the ENABLE bit is set", while the description
for the RXDCTL register says that the ENABLE bit is set by default
(for queue zero). Empirical evidence suggests that the ENABLE bit
reads as set immediately after writing to RCTL.EN, and so polling is
not necessary.

RTL8139C+ cards use essentially the same datapath as RTL8169, which is
zerocopy and 64-bit capable. Older RTL8139 cards use a single receive
ring buffer rather than a descriptor ring, but still share substantial
amounts of functionality with RTL8169.
Include support for RTL8139 cards within the generic Realtek driver,

cards based on the PCI IDs alone.

The RS bit is used to instruct the NIC to update the TX descriptor
status byte. The RPS bit is used to instruct the NIC to defer this
update until after the packet has been transmitted on the wire (rather
than merely read into the transmit FIFO).
The driver currently sets RPS but not RS. Some e1000 models seem to
interpret this as implying that the status byte should be updated;
some don't. On the ones that don't, we never see any TX completions
and so rapidly run out of TX buffers.
Fix by setting the RS bit in the TX descriptor. (We don't care about
when the packet reaches the wire, so don't bother setting the RPS
bit.)

This reverts commit 15c1200 ("[hermon] Work around missing mport
support in current BOFM implementations").
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Current BOFM versions are unable to create entries with mport>1, which
means that only the port 1 MAC address can be explicitly specified.
Work around this by using the provided MAC address as a base address
for all subsequent ports. For example, if BOFM assigns the address
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
then we will assign the addresses
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
00:1A:64:76:00:0a for port 2
Future BOFM versions that may correctly support mport will work with
this scheme without modification provided that the BOFM entries are
created in increasing order of mport. Since BOFM tools tend to
generate entries in increasing order (of slot, port, etc), this is not
an unreasonable compromise.

The forcedeth driver currently implements unicast MAC address
filtering in software. This is almost invariably the wrong thing to
do (since the network stack must already be able to cope with unwanted
packets) and it breaks FCoE (which requires the card to operate in
promiscuous mode).
Also, the implementation is buggy: is_local_ether_addr() is used to
check for a locally-assigned Ethernet address (not to check for a
unicast address), and the current link-layer address is in
netdev->ll_addr, not netdev->hw_addr.
Fix by removing this code.

The default initiator IQN is "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN".
This is problematic for two reasons:
a) the etherboot.org domain (and hence the associated IQN namespace)
is not under the control of the iPXE project, and
b) some targets (correctly) refuse to allow concurrent connections
from different initiators using the same initiator IQN.
Solve both problems by changing the default initiator IQN to be
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<hostname> if a hostname is set, or
iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<uuid> if no hostname is set.
Explicit initiator IQNs set via DHCP option 203 are not affected by
this change.
Unfortunately, this change is likely to break some existing
configurations, where ACL rules have been put in place referring to
the old default initiator IQN. Users may need to update ACLs, or
force the use of the old IQN using an iPXE script line such as
set initiator-iqn iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN
or a dhcpd.conf option such as
option iscsi-initiator-iqn "iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:UNKNOWN"
