(author's explaination):
Bit 15 is the flag to request a transmit complete interrupt. The
driver was apparently written to minimize interrupts, and if not for a
3-COM design quirk, everything would be just ducky.
Prior to loading the outbound packet into the FIFO, the driver checks
to see if there's enough space to contain the packet. If not, the
driver requests a transmit-available interrupt when there is
sufficient room. Unfortunately, the card is continuing to process the
prior FIFO, and by the time the driver sets the threshold for a
transmit available interrupt, the space is already available. When
this occurs, the 3COM card ignores the interrupt request, and the
driver is hung waiting for an interrupt that will never occur.
There's probably a more elegant solution, but requesting the transmit
complete interrupt was the easiest to implement. An alternative fix
might be to check free FIFO space again, after requesting the transmit
available interrupt, but I haven't bothered pursuing this. Since the
patch, my 3C590 (PCI, same FIFO interface as 3C509) has been rock
solid.

too much about the icu (most only use it to convert `n' to `IRQn'). isa.h
is only used by ioconf.c and by a few drivers that know too much about
isa addresses (a few have to, because config is deficient).

this is in place I would like to fixup the PCCARD hooks and remove the

[ This works on both my 3C589B and 3C589C ]
My 3C509B-COMBO works fine with the following patch. Switching between
UTP and BNC is quite easy. (Just type 'ifconfig ep0 link1 -link2' or 'ifconifg
ep0 link2 -link1'.)

connectors on my 3C589B and 3C589C ]

prevent it from conflicting with other drivers (like the aic7xxx driver).
Most of the work was in spliting out common portions of the driver and
making them generic enough to be called from the eisaconf probe.
- Clean up the access to our ifnet structure by caching a pointer
to it instead of always digging through our softc structure.

- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
Removed ifnet.if_init and ifnet.if_reset as they are generally unused.
Change the parameter passed to if_watchdog to be a ifnet * rather than
a unit number. All of this is an attempt to move toward not needing an
array of softc pointers (which is usually static in size) to point to
the driver softc.
if_ed.c:
Changed some of the argument passing to some functions to make a little
more sense.
if_ep.c, if_vx.c:
Killed completely bogus use of if_timer. It was being set in such a way
that the interface was being reset once per second (blech!).
misplaced extern declarations (mostly prototypes of interrupt handlers)
that this exposed. The prototypes should be moved back to the driver
sources when the functions are staticalized.
Added idempotency guards to <machine/conf.h>. "ioconf.h" can't be
included when building LKMs so define a wart in bsd.kmod.mk to help
guard against including it.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

form to do this than it is relying on individual subroutines (the logic
in epioctl is itself very minimal). Ideally, unnecessary splimp()'s should
now be removed if they exist; I'll leave this for a later date (a complete
code review of the driver needs to be done). Fixes a bug I noticed that
would show up when ifconfig'ing the interface down.
For those where it was easy, drivers were also fixed to call
dev_attach() during probe rather than attach (in keeping with the
new design articulated in a mail message five months ago). For
a few that were really easy, correct state tracking was added as well.
The `fd' driver was fixed to correctly fill in the description.
The CPU identify code was fixed to attach a `cpu' device. The code
was also massively reordered to fill in cpu_model with somethingremotely
resembling what identifycpu() prints out. A few bytes saved by using
%b to format the features list rather than lots of ifs.

remaining drivers that still had it.

folded in yet. I've tested it under high loads for two weeks and it is now
robust enough to be included in the GENERIC kernel.

This is not complete: the detection of the irq in the eisa does not

1) Rod's arpacom changes
2) Function type and return code cleanup, and all functions have correct

3) Bugfix where driver would not function due to missing structure not

4) General cleanup. (Theo did a lot already, I just did some more)
problems in the moment are stray intr's in the ifconfig up/down.
No way to select all three interfaces on a combo card with
AUI/BNC/UTP interfaces and the performance doesn't look good.
Only tested with a ISA AUI/BNC card yet.
