From: Ha, Tristram on 15 Jan 2010 22:10 From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha(a)micrel.com> Add Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chip support. Some users like to use KSZ8842 switch to run Spanning Tree Protocol. As a result a hardware STP support was implemented so that the host does not waste CPU time forwarding each and every packet.
