Add support for gigabit ethernet cards based on the NatSemi DP83820 and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000 copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX, D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards from Addtron. This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion. 2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs. I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it. Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That said, I don't think there will be any problems. This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in GENERIC.

Add support for gigabit ethernet cards based on the NatSemi DP83820 and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000 copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX, D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards from Addtron. This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion. 2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs. I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it. Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That said, I don't think there will be any problems. This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in GENERIC.

With 1000baseTX cards, establishing a link between two ports requires
that one port be configured as a master and the other a slave.
With autonegotiation,
the master/slave settings will be chosen automatically.
However when manually selecting the link state, it is necessary to
force one side of the link to be a master and the other a slave.
The
.Nm
driver configures the ports as slaves by default.
