From 44a8277bc612e15aba25fc9a329243e82e87932e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rink Springer Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 20:22:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Updated the XBOX kernel to use the new nfe(4) driver obtained from OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and should lead to better maintainability in the future. The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.
