 - Realized i was correctly pulling the mac address already... - Realized i was correctly pulling the mac address already...
 +
 +-June 9
 +
 +-  Performed nothing "​productive",​ but lots of usefull playing. Accessed various registers. Broke my screen a few times by dumping raw register data to the screen as char. 
 +
 +-  Learned how to perform a software reset of the device; got familiar with several important register locations:
 +0x0100-0x0105:​ mac address
 +0x0118: configuration bits
 +0x011b: chip information
 +
 +- I'm not entirely sure what of these are important or what to continue with. More tomorrow
 +
 +June 10
 +
 +I wasn't really sure where to go today; so I ended up playing with IO. 
 +
 +Sample output:
 +
 +gPXE initialising devices...
 +skge_probe
 +
 +June 14: almost finished probe()- about 70% done
 +- loaded the rest of the PCI_ROM statements
 +- moved skge_adapter to skge.h (from skge.c)
 +- converted: yukon_reset,​ genesis_reset,​ genesis_init,​ gm_phy_write
 +
 +- wrote: skge_enable_test_mode
 +
 +- all instances of writeb, writew, writel, and writeq'​s calling statements were corrected
 +
 +- Moved most DBG statements to use DBG2 instead of DBG (such as mac address and other "just checking if this is working"​ DBG statements)
 +
 +- removed some unnessary statements and added constants to replace them
 +
 + - (such as X = a & b & c & d & e ===> X= <​pre-combined magic constant>​)
 +
 +- Completed: skge_initialize
 +
 +- In progress: probe()
 + - todo in probe():
 +
 + - skge_devinit()
 +
 + - register_netdev()
 +
 + - request_irq()
 +
 + - skge_show_addr()
 +
 + - pci_set_drvdata()
