and into the bus front ends. For ISA and C-BUS cards, we always need
to grab it. For PC Card, already committed, we need to do some sanity
checking on the data that's in the ROMs before we decide that they are
OK to use. The PC Card code has already been committed and is
independent of this code (which also has to work on NE-1000 cards,
assuming that those cards still work :-).
are NOVELL NE2000 with just a tiny quirk that's non vendor specific.
Instead, use the chip_type of DL100XX instead. This is more inline
with how the AX88190 support was added, and seems a little cleaner.
probing the novell ne[12]000 cards. It should be its own thing, ala
how we do the dl100xx support doing its own thing at the right time.
For the moment, it is just a function, which makes the mainline of the
generic probe easier to follow.
Also, correct a couple of comments that looked wrong.
# there may be a bug in setting up gwether, in that we set
# sc->rec_page_stop based on memsize, rather than sc->mem_size, so if
# these two are different, then the rec_page_stop will be wrong. I'm
# hesitant to fix it without real hardware to test with. Since
# gwether isn't in the hardware list of the man page nor in the commit
# messages, it is hard to know for sure.
and wd80x3 support. Make the obscure ISA cards optional, and add
those options to NOTES on i386 (note: the ifdef around the whole code
is for module building). Tweak pc98 ed support to include wd80x3 too.
Add goo for alpha too.
The affected cards are the 3Com 3C503, HP LAN+ and SIC (whatever that
is). I couldn't find any of these for sale on ebay, so they are
untested. If you have one of these cards, and send it to me, I'll
ensure that you have no future problems with it...
Minor cleanups as well by using functions rather than cut and paste
code for some probing operations (where the function call overhead is
lost in the noise).
Remove use of kvtop, since they aren't required anymore. This driver
needs to get its memory mapped act together, however, and use bus
space. It doesn't right now.
This reduces the size of if_ed.ko from about 51k to 33k on my laptop.
