mode. The 5704 apparently has some s00p3r s33kr1t registers for setting
the advertisement of pause frame ability (i.e flow control) when in
autoneg mode. If we don't set these registers correctly, we may not
be able to negotiate a proper link with some switches. (Symptom is that
the NIC reports the link as up (PCS synched) but no traffic can be
exchanged.)

multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

These are 10/100 only NICs found on the IBM Thinkpad R40E and
G40. These seem to be based on the BCM5705 MAC but with a PHY
that doesn't support 1000Mbps modes.

to configure this correctly yields many watchdog timeouts even on lightly

servers with built-in dual 5704 NICs.
BGE_MACSTAT_MI_COMPLETE bit in the MAC status register as a link

chips need it, but it usually just means that reading/writing
an MII/GMII register has completed, not that a link change has
occured.
larger than normal frames, to account for the case where a bge(4) NIC
is used with VLANs. Since we set the IFCAP_VLAN_MTU flag, we must allow
reception of frames up to 1522 bytes in size rather than 1518.
Note that it is possible to work around this bug by doing:
# ifconfig bge0 mtu 1504
prior to configuring any VLAN interfaces.
- 5705 doesn't support jumbo frames
- Statistics must be read from registers
- RX return ring must be capped at 512 entries
- Omit initialization of certain device blocks
- Acknowledge link change interrupts by setting the 'link changed'
bit in the status register (used to have no effect)
- Remember to toggle the MI completion bit too
- Set the mbuf low watermark differently (on-chip memory buffers,
not BSD mbufs)
- Don't enable Ethernet@WireSpeed feature for certain 5705 chip revs
- Add additional PCI IDs for 5705 and 5782 parts
- Add a forgotten 5704 PCI ID

(mainly the 3Com 3c996B/BCM5701).
For some reason that I don't fully understand, the 5701 signals PCS
encoding errors as though they were link change events, i.e. the 'link
state changed' bit in the status word of the status block is updated
and an interrupt is generated. This would cause the bge_tick() function
to be invoked and a "gigabit link up" message to be printed on the console.
To avoid this, the interrupt handler now checks the MAC status register
when a link change interrupt is triggered, and it will only call the
bge_tick() function if the 'PCS encoding error detected' bit is clear.
(This change should have no effect on copper NICs since this bit can
only ever be set in TBI mode. I do not know how it affects 5704 NICs
with a BCM8002 SERDES PHY.)
Special thanks to: Sherry Rogers at UCB for allowing me access to one
of their traffic monitor boxes so I could diagnose this problem.
ASIC revision is really the major number of the CHIPID. Also store
the chipid, asic rev and chip revision in the softc for later use.

- Disable AUTOPOLL when accessing the PHY as it may cause PCI errors.

- Check the UPDATED bit in the status block so the driver knows
that the status block as indeed changed since the last access.
Broadcom documentation states drivers should unset the UPDATED/CHANGED
bits after reading them.
- When changing media types, first loop the phy then set the media.
Broadcom documentation and Linux drivers do this and I observed
much better handling of link after this change.
- Broadcom documentation states that for 1000BaseT operation,
autonegotiation must be enabled. Fix hard coding of media so that
the driver only advertises 1000BaseT as the supported media type

as separate 16-bit entities. Some of the ring control blocks are
in NIC memory, so they must be referenced using 32-bit accesses.
Smaller accesses have been observed to fail under some conditions.
This caused the rings to be set up wrong, leading to writes by the
card outside of the intended bounds of the rings. This problem was
diagnosed by Michael Barthelow. Don Bowman submitted a patch which
fixed the problem using a slightly different approach.
