The bug is caused by code that always set (TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT | TG3_FLAG_USE_LINKCHG_REG) on all Dell's onboard devices. With these 2 flags set, the link status is polled by tg3_timer() and will only work when the PHY is set up to interrupt the MAC on link changes. This breaks 5906 because the 5906 PHY does not support TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT the same as other PHYs. For correctness, only Dell's onboard 5701 needs these 2 flags to be set. This change will fix the 5906 problem and will change other Dell devices except 5700 and 5701 to use the more efficient interrupt-driven link changes. Update version to 3.77.

The current smc91x I/O routines ifdef the solution engine subtypes individually, which is rather bogus, as they can simply use CONFIG_SOLUTION_ENGINE instead. This fixes it for some of the other solution engines that weren't included in the ifdef list (SH7206 specifically). There are also inb/outb definitions which are totally bogus (missing brackets in _both_ cases, SMC_CAN_USE_8BIT == 0, and even better, they try to use a 16-bit access to fake 8-bit access). Kill that nonsense off completely.

To assure the symmetry of poll enable/disable in up/down, we should initialize the netdevice to be poll_disabled at load time. Doing this after register_netdevice leaves us open to another race, so lets move all the netif_* calls above register_netdevice so the stack starts out how we expect it to be.

Many drivers had code that did kill_vid, but they weren't doing vlan filtering. With new API the stub is unneeded unless device sets NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Bad habit: I couldn't resist fixing a couple of nearby style things in acenic, and forcedeth.

The 8139cp driver did VLAN unregistration incorrectly. It disables VLAN completely when the first VID is unregistered. It should instead disable VLAN when the group is unregistered by calling cp_vlan_rx_register with a NULL grp.

Reading the code for ql_hw_csum_setup(), it is obvious that this driver is broken for IPV6. The driver sets the NETIF_F_HW_SUM flag, but the code for checksum setup only deals with IPV4.
