This commit adds driver support for the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw. This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and alpha architectures.

The
.Nm
driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
controllers based on the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900
Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX (PNIC-based). I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register layout are identical). I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.

The NS DP83815 is also a 100Mbps ethernet MAC with integrated PHY.
The NatSemi chip and the SiS 900 share many of the same features and
a fairly similar programming interface, hence both chips are supported
by the same driver.

This commit adds driver support for the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw. This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and alpha architectures.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Fix up the sis.4 man page per Sheldon Hearn: * Clear the Os macro, which is assumed gracefully at run-off time. * Use quotes to reduce the long name description (Nd) to a single argument. * Use meaningful arguments to the -width option of the Bl macro. * Mark rc.conf up with Xr instead of Pa so that it is obvious that further help on that file is available. * Explicitly indicate that mediaopt is a command modifier (Cm) of the ifconfig(8) utility. * Do not mark up half-duplex and full-duplex as arguments (Ar), since they are allowed values for an argument. * Fix various grammar and spelling mistakes.

Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX (PNIC-based). I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register layout are identical). I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
