Again its me just another list,
apparently the ASUS 890FX mainboard has a yukon 88e8059 nic, which i
have not verified yet.
the marvell yukon 88e8059 specs say this nic is avb ready.
is there anyone who can verify this?
bye Ck

during a seminar of $BIG_AMERICAN_SPEAKER_MANUFACTURER last month, the
presenter talked about AVB and mentioned that marvell (among other
manufacturers) has had full avb capability on their silicon for quite a
while, and it was just a matter of activating it (which they wouldn't do
on low-end gear of obvious reasons). so if they say their product does
it, i'd say the chances are good. whether the implementation is complete
and correct though, i can't say.

To be precise, it's only the Crosshair IV Formular 890FX, all others
either have Realtek or Intel.

ready.
Indeed, at least if we believe the little PDF provided by Marvell.
I don't know exactly what this means, it seems they support multiple
RX/TX queues, so AVB packages might end up in a priority lane while bulk
traffic is handled via a different queue.
They also support hardware timestamping. The Linux driver in question is
sky2, in sky2.h, they already have some PTP related defines, but the
sky2.c doesn't make use of them.
I hence CC'ed Stephen who happens to be the author of this driver. Maybe
he could provide some insight.
