98a229f65e As suggested by phk, unconditionalize BPF support in these drivers. Since
there are stubs compiled into the kernel if BPF support is not enabled,
there aren't any problems with unresolved symbols. The modules in /modules
are compiled with BPF support enabled anyway, so the most this will do is
bloat GENERIC a little.

9e4c647c74 Tweak these for what I hope is the last time: change the DRIVER_MODULE()
declaration for the interface driver from "foo" to "if_foo" but leave the
declaration for the miibus attached to the interface driver alone. This
lets the internal module name be "if_foo" while still allowing the miibus
instances to attach to "foo."

This should allow ifconfig to autoload driver modules again without
breaking the miibus attach.

0355003f26 Un-do the changes to the DRIVER_MODULE() declarations in these drivers.
This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:

- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
  the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:

if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo

  This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
  interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
  principle of least astonishment.

- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
  change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
  attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
  agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
  drivers attached never get them.

In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.

fac1f39b19 Grrr. Okay, changing the devnames was a bad idea. Put them back the way
they were.

in the DRIVER_MODULES() declarations. *sigh*

08339b4fa4 Convert the VIA Rhine driver to newbus and set it up to be compiled as
a module. Also modified the code to work on FreeBSD/alpha and added
device vr0 to the alpha GENERIC config.

While I was in the neighborhood, I noticed that I was still using
#define NFPX 1 in all of the Makefiles that I'd copied from the fxp
module. I don't really use #define Nfoo X so it didn't matter, but
I decided to customize this correctly anyway.

820f359d7e Change the cast in pci_map_port() from u_short * to pci_port_t * so it
compiles cleanly on the Alpha.  (On the alpha, the port type is an int,
not a short).
Cast a couple of pointers to ints via 'uintptr_t' rather than 'unsigned
int' since uintptr_t is long (64 bit) on Alpha, as are pointers.

579f45fa60 Simplify the COMPAT_PCI_DRIVER/DATA_SET hack. We can add:
#define COMPAT_PCI_DRIVER(name,data) DATA_SET(pcidevice_set,data)
.. to 2.2.x and 3.x if people think it's worth it.  Driver writers can do
this if it's not defined.  (The reason for this is that I'm trying to
progressively eliminate use of linker_sets where it hurts modularity and
runtime load capability, and these DATA_SET's keep getting in the way.)

727c88e9da Tweak the Macronix driver to hopefully make it more reliable:
- Change to the same transmit scheme as the PNIC driver.
- Dynamically set the cache alignment, and set burst size the same as
  the PNIC driver in mx_init().
- Enable 'store and forward' mode by default. This is the slowest option
  and it does reduce 100Mbps performance somewhat, but it's the most
  reliable setting I can find. I'm more interested in having the driver
  work reliably than trying to squeeze the best performance out of it.
  The reason I'm doing this is that on *some* systems you may see a lot
  of transmit underruns (which I can't explain: these are *fast* test
  systems) and these errors seem to cause unusual and decidedly
  non-tulip-like behavior. In normal 10Mbps mode, performance is fine
  (you can easily saturate a 10Mbps link).

Also tweak some of the other drivers:

- Increase the size of the TX ring for the Winbond, ASIX, VIA Rhine
  and PNIC drivers.
- Set a larger value for ifq_maxlen in the ThunderLAN driver. The setting
  of TL_TX_LIST_CNT - 1 is too low (the ThunderLAN driver only allocates
  20 transmit descriptors, and I don't want to fiddle with that now
  because the ThunderLAN's descriptor structure is an oddball size
  compared to the others).

96b3554e5c Use COMPAT_PCI_DRIVER() for registration if it exists. This shouldn't
hurt the driver portability to 3.x too much for where drivers are shared.

141ae16656 Add support for still more cheapo 10/100 cards: Delta Electronics and
Addtron appear to have their own VIA Rhine II and RealTek 8139 boards
with custom PCI vendor and device IDs. This commit updates the PCI
vendor and device lists in the vr and rl drivers so that we can probe
the additional devices.

6c70e5b472 Tweak the vr_start() and vr_rxeof() routines a little to improve
performance and reliability a little. There was a condition before
where transmission would stall during periods of heavy traffic
exchange between two hosts. Also set the 'want interrupt' bit in
receive descriptor control words.

57ff492d3e Minor bug: in the case where allocating a fresh mbuf for the receive ring
fails, we need to set the descriptor status word so that the 'OWN' bit
is set again so that the chip can reuse it. Previously, this wasn't being
done.

726ff6a158 An early Christmas present: add driver support for a whole bunch of
PCI fast ethernet adapters, plus man pages.

if_pn.c: Netgear FA310TX model D1, LinkSys LNE100TX, Matrox FastNIC 10/100,
         various other PNIC devices

if_mx.c: NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100 (Macronix 98713A), various
         other boards based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A
         and 98725 chips

if_vr.c: D-Link DFE530-TX, other boards based on the VIA Rhine and
         Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards
         that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI
         device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't
         really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
         anyway.)

if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the
         Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to
         the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many
         clones there are running around)

All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast
filtering.

Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and
sysinstall device list.

I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.
