- Rip out all the static softc stuff and do softc allocation the right way.
- Rewrite most of the ISA code so that it provides a DEVICE_IDENTIFY
method to enumerate all non-PnP ISA devices.
This has the following consequences:
- No 'ep' devices may be hardwired.
- All hardwired devices will probably be detected twice.
By hardwired I mean:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
- 'ep' devices are ordered by bus, slot, and then MAC address.
- Make 3c509B cards work in PnP mode. Yes, they really work.
- Convert over to using ifmedia for media selection. No more of this
lame 'linkX' stuff.
- Consolidate a lot of duplicated code.
- Make a stab at not breaking MII based PCCARD devices.
I doubt that the PCCARD stuff works any more than it did before my
changes but theres hope. My PCCARD hardware should arrive in a
week or so.
- Retreive the media settings from the card EEPROM rather than guessing.
I've got a 3c509-TPO that thinks its got an AUI port and if others
can report similar problems I'll write a bit of clever code that will
fix this but right now it works correctly on all but 1 card.
- Clean up a few things and make some cosmetic changes.
- Add myself as the MAINTAINER since nobody else wants to. I'm
in the best position to do this as I've got an example of most
of the cards:
EISA 3c579 bnc/aui
MCA 3c529 tp/aui
ISA 3c509 tpo
ISA-PnP 3c509B combo
If someone wants to send me a any cards I don't have I'd appriciate
it. Also welcome are 3c59x boards since I'll be folding if_vx and
if_ep at some point.
- Split out the prototypes, externs and struct decls from if_epreg.h into
if_epvar.h.
- Add support for MCA based Etherlink III (3c529) devices.
None of this code is used right now; the old if_ep driver is still
in place and used.
I will eventually get around to converting if_ep_isa.c to newbus once I've
had a talk with Peter and DFR about the DEVICE_IDENTIFY() method.
I have tested this code on my PS/2. It works. I would like EISA and ISA
testers since my example hardware hasn't arrived yet.
Add:
dev/ep/if_ep.c optional ep
dev/ep/if_ep_isa.c optional ep isa
dev/ep/if_ep_eisa.c optional ep eisa
dev/ep/if_ep_mca.c optional ep mca
dev/ep/if_ep_pccard.c optional ep card
to sys/conf/files
Remove:
i386/eisa/3c5x9.c optional ep
i386/isa/if_ep.c optional ep
from sys/i386/conf/files.i386
PCCARD testers wanted!
I will switch off and cvs rm the old driver in favor of this copy once
I've had positive feedback or have the hardware to verify that it works.
