Turn on the 'new' if_ep driver which supports:
ISA 3c509
MCA 3c529
EISA 3c579
PCCARD 3c589
I think all we're missing is support for the VME bus and S-100 bus
Etherlink III cards.
The new code has been tested by a number of people and all the important
bits work. I've not been able to test the EISA code but will do so once
my hardware arrives. Since I've changed nothing in the EISA code I suspect
it will perform the same manner as before.
Future changes involve whacking the ISA and PCCARD front ends to use
newbus and to convert the driver to bus_space and make it use ifmedia.
This is the first working network driver that supports MCA bus devices btw.
Enjoy.
isa_compat.c
Copied from sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.c. It includes
sys/pc98/pc98/isa_compat.h instead of sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.h.
isa_compat.h
Copied from sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.c. The ed driver is registered
in this file until pc98's ed driver is converted into new-bus style.

Use sys/pc98/pc98/isa_compat.c instead of sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.c.
if_ed.c
- Fixed the location of the include file.
- Disalbed pnp support.
be set by a kernel conf option due to the struct buf structural
dependancy (sizing of b_pages[]) creating a conflict with modules
(which are not compiled with kernel config options overrides).
We'll be able to sysctl these two later on when the buffer subsystem
is revamped.
for the AN985 "Centaur" chip, which is apparently the next genetation
of the "Comet." The AN985 is also a tulip clone and is similar to the
AL981 except that it uses a 99C66 EEPROM and a serial MII interface
(instead of direct access to the PHY registers).
Also updated various documentation to mention the AN985 and created
a loadable module.
I don't think there are any cards that use this chip on the market yet:
the datasheet I got from ADMtek has boxes with big X's in them where the
diagrams should be, and the sample boards I got have chips without any
artwork on them.
It is about 2.5 microseconds or roughly 3 times faster to use this
"PIIX" timecounter than the "i8254" timecounter. Resolution is
also 3 times better.
The code cheats and don't register the PCI device, because other pieces
of code want to use it too.

requiring the user to figure it out. So, if you comment out all but the
machine type you are using, you automatically get the bus code just for
your system. (eg DEC_EB164 implies cia, etc). Multiple machine types
still pulls in the appropriate busses. This means, take things like
'controller cia0' out of your config.

2) s/MODLOAD/KMODLOAD/ to be consistent with the rest of the variables
(KMOD, KMODOWN, KMODGRP, etc) and definition of MODLOAD/UNLOAD in the
Makefile of the ATAPI module
3) textual fixups
the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.
this PHY and the Davicom DM9101 have exactly the same register definitions.
One of them is probably a clone of the other. I'm not sure which.
This is needed for the Davicom DM9102 10/100 PCI ethernet driver which
will be committed shortly.
