Add initial support for the FreeBSD/alpha kernel. This is very much a work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial development and testing was done using SimOS (see http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-). Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha

# USB Ethernet
This commit adds device driver support for the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development. Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation. Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported. Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer() function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no. My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep(). This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the ADMtek device. Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation: I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit is pretty light. Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available. Highlights: - Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part. - Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files - Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files - Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c - Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default - Updated /sys/conf/files - Added new kld module directory

#device aue0 # ADMtek USB ethernet
Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the CATC USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market. The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made by SMC :/ ). Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining. This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.

#device cue0 # CATC USB ethernet
Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T, the Entrega NET-USB-E45, the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com 3c19250 and the ADS Technologies USB-10BT. This device is 10mbs half-duplex only, so there's miibus or ifmedia support. This device also requires firmware to be loaded into it, however KLSI allows redistribution of the firmware images (I specifically asked about this; they said it was ok). Special thanks to Annelise Anderson for getting me in touch with KLSI (eventually) and thanks to KLSI for providing the necessary programming info. Highlights: - Add driver files to /sys/dev/usb - update usbdevs and regenerate attendate files - update usb_quirks.c - Update HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT for i386 and alpha - Update LINT, GENERIC and others for i386, alpha and pc98 - Add man page - Add module - Update sysinstall and userconfig.c
