Correct the binary code (Low pass filter & DLY_CAP fine tune from uC).
The incorrect ram code would make the nic working abnormally.

I'm glad you finally acknowledge that this is code rather than simple
register initialisation.
Please can you put the microcontroller firmware under a suitable
licence, if you are not intending to release its source code. The GPL
is not suitable as it requires distributions to provide the source code;
that makes the firmware strictly undistributable at present.
An example licence for binary-only redistribution is:
Copyright <date> <company>
Permission is hereby granted for the distribution of this firmware
data in hexadecimal or equivalent format, provided this copyright
notice is accompanying it.

Also, please don't add execute permission to source files.
Below are the changes Debian currently applies in preparation for proper
licencing of the firmware.

Subject: [PATCH] r8169: remove firmware for RTL8169D PHY
The recently added support for RTL8169D chips included some machine
code without accompanying source code. Replace this with use of the
firmware loader.

Do you have some scripts to convert the data at hand ?
I would welcome a clear statement regarding the status of the binary thing
(code ? data ?) but even without one *now*, I'd like to see it separated
from the main code : the driver sucks and things will go worse with
support code for the 8168e.
Is there anybody objecting to it ? I will buy anything be it firmware API
or plain .h.

Right.
Hayes, by 'you' I meant Realtek, not you personally. If my reply seemed
aggressive, I apologise.

No, it's easy enough to convert a single array by copying it into a C
file that dumps it to stdout (assuming the file's byte order is defined
to match your own machine).
It might be worth adding some sort of header with a version and
checksum. Your choice, really.

Excuse me, I have some questions about the firmware patch.
1. I should convert the data into the binary files (.bin). Is it right?
2. Where should I update the firmware files? Is the path the
linux-2.6/firmeware?
However, according to linux-2.6/firmeware/README.AddingFirmware, I
should
update they to another repository:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
Then, how the firmware merge with kernel-2.6? Or, where could I find the
firmware
in the kernel-2.6 repository?
Best Regards,
Hayes

You may do it.
Fwiw I have cooked something for it in the attached patch #9 this WE. Feel
free to take bits from it. I will not do more changes while you work on it.

! This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old
! device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware().
It is fine for the existing code.

/me scratches head.
Assuming Realtek does not intend to stand this code / data as GPLable, yes.
It will help people staying clear from non-free code, it will help packaging
something useful and it will remove some cruft from the code.
So everybody will end happy. Especially after an aspirin.

The plan is to do away with linux-2.6/firmware entirely.
Distributions are shipping the firmware from linux-firmware, not the
kernel files.
Hi Romieu,
Let me explain that not all of the phy settings are the ram code (or firmware).
Some of them are the initialization sequence. Only the "Low pass filter &
DLY_CAP fine tune from uC" is the firmware. And there is no firmware before
RTL8111D. That is, except 8111DP, the chips which have firmware are 8111d,
8111e,and 8105 now.
Now, I would modify my patch according to the example from Ben. And I would
update the firmware and licence to linux-firmware.
Thanks for everybody who help and answer to me.

Hayes
