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.)

On reset and close, the ICR register is read to clear any pending
interrupts, but the value is simply ignored. Avoid assigning the
value to a variable, to inhibit a warning from gcc 4.6.
Also fix a potential race condition in reset routines which clear
interrupts before disabling them.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

This commit replaces the current gPXE e1000 driver with one ported
from Intel source code available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
which is upstream source for the Linux kernel e1000 drivers, and
should support most if not all PCI e1000 variants.

The 82571 supports an alternate MAC address location in NVRAM.
When this is set, use this for the MAC rather than the default
physical MAC address.

Add the 82576 to the e1000 driver.
- Examining the Linux 2.6.30-rc4 igb driver, which supports this card and;
- Information available in the Intel® 82576 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller Datasheet v2.1, which is available from Intel's web site.
I only have a dual-ported card with Copper PHY, so any code paths relating
to Fibre haven't been tested. Also, I have only tested using auto-negotiation
of speed and duplex, and no flow control. Other code paths relating to
those settings also have not been exercised.

The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
When compiling for the Linux kernel, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 == 0, and
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_1 == 1. This is not so when compiling for gPXE. We
must use the symbolic names rather than integers to get the correct
values.

This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.
Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.
IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.
The e1000_irq() routine should (per mcb30) do enable on non-zero,
disable on zero. This is not consistent in all drivers, so I'll
wait to update it when doing a global sweep.
There may still be an issue with memory handling, since it seems to
die ungracefully when ARP packets come in after loading a kernel.
Something to debug.
