turned out to be more than a cosmetic problem. Flushing the fifos
quite late is good for discarding input that arrived while the line
state was being initialized, and in the cy driver it also seems to
reduce a problem with input that arrived long ago during the previous

ethernet driver.
The BUGS section is still impressive, but the driver seems to work for
me now. Disclaimer: i haven't been able to test this under -current
so far (but it compiles, and the notebook it's intended for can now be
updated to -current more easy than before). Don't be afraid of the
many #ifdefs on __FreeBSD_version in the imported file; i want them in
the repository on the vendor-branch so other people can also manually
integrate it into older systems. I'll clean it up on the -current
branch in a followup commit. The vendor-banch version right now
supports systems back to 2.2R.
This driver should be layered upon ppc(4), but i currently have no
idea how to do this.
Eventually i'll further develop the driver to also support the more
modern RTL 8012 success, which seems to be present in a number of
cheap pocket ethernet adapters these days. Right now, i doubt it will
run with the 8012 without any changes.
Finally a big Thanks! to RealTek for promptly providing me with
documentation and with the source code for the 8012 pocket driver upon
request. I wish all vendors were that cooperative!.
The optimisation of only waiting before issuing new commands is
obviously invalid in general and it caused many errors in NIST-PCTS.
I think the errors were mostly for characters sent with the wrong
parity, etc., after a half complete tcsetattr().
Use microtime() instead of a magic loop count to limit the wait.
The wait is a busy-wait :-( and normally takes about 500 usec.
almost works properly. Unfortunately, there is no way to flush
the rx fifo without resetting the channel, which also flushes the
tx fifo. We avoid resetting even when both fifos need to be flushed,
since resetting seems to cause the rx to lose sync if it is done

The check for dropping unicast packets not sent to our ethernet
address is after the bpf tap, but not conditioned on it. All packets
received should get handed to bpf, and unicast packets not to us (mac)
should get dropped whether or not there is a bpf listener. I believe
that the common optimization that the interface is in hw promisc mode
iff there is a bpf listener is in general wrong, but more frequently
so on wavelans.
I think Max's fix makes bpf listeners not see unicast packets sent to
others, but I'm not sure.
One can argue that checking on MOD_ENAL is wrong, but the code only
drops packets that shouldn't be received. The correctness condition
is that it be run whenever unicast packets without our mac address can
be received.

- Don't call fdc_reset() from fd_timeout(). Doing so gave an "extra"
interrupt which was usually misinterpreted as being for completion
of the next FDC command; the interrupt for completion of the next
FDC command was then usually misinterpreted... There were further
complications for interrupts latched by the soft-spl mechanism so
that they were delivered after all the h/w interrupts went away.
This caused at least wrong head settle delays and may be why the
FreeBSD floppy driver seems to munch floppies more than most floppy
drivers. The reset was unnecessary anyway in cases that didn't have
the bug described next, since is was repeated a little later for
the IOTIMEDOUT state. The state machine has complications to handle
resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]
Cleanups in fd_timeout():
- Renamed to fd_iotimeout() to make it clearer that it is only used
for i/o.
- Don't handle the bp == 0 case. This case can't happen for i/o.
- Don't check for controller-busy. We know it must be.
- Don't print anything. retrier() already prints too much for normal
errors.
- Fudge the state differently so that the state machine advances
fdc->retry and the status is invalid (perhaps this should fudge a
valid state like the one for WP).
- Style fixes.
small part of a bug suite beginning in the SLICE probes but mostly in the

DMA should also be stopped in isa_dma_release(); isa_dmastop() probably

locking.
controller reports a successful seek, it is very unlikely to report
seeking to a cylinder other than the one requested, but we check for
this, and botched the error handling for the requested_cylinder != 0
case. This error happened when the bug fixed in rev.1.52 of <sys/buf.h>
caused the head of buffer queue to change to one starting on a different
cylnder - the requested cylinder was found, but it wasn't what we
thought we requested. The fix is simply to arrange to reset the state
machine.
Corruption of the buffer queue seems to only have been a problem in the
floppy driver. Other drivers dequeue the head of the queue before doing
physical i/o on it, so the corruption at worse broke the elevator sort
order. Dequeueing breaks it anyway.
