Lukas,

I had to investigate the driver a bit and I am mistaken in saying that the NIC driver will support the T110 card. It does not.

The reason for this is that the T110 will use the TCAM even in NIC mode and that code is missing from the NIC driver. The TCAM needs to be initialized for using TCP traffic in tunneled (non-offload) mode. However, if you just add the enumeration for the T110, UDP should work but TCP will not. This would not be very useful.

The T210 does not have this issue.

Unfortunately, you will need to use the TOE driver for 2.6.6 kernel.

I apologize for the confusion.

You would need to use the cxgb-2.1.1 driver (NIC only). It is near the bottom of the webpage, under "Chelsio N210 / N110 10Gb Ethernet Server Adapter", Chelsio N210 / N110 Linux Driver - Version 2.1.1 (05/17/2005).

Use the above driver for the T110 in NIC mode. This driver will work for the T110 and T210 but only in NIC mode.


Unfortunately, this driver does not contain CH_DEVICE(6, 0|1.. )

Should I just add it?
