- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and device hardware.
- Use a private timer routine to drive the transmit watchdog timer instead
of using if_watchdog/if_timer.
- If if_alloc() fails during attach, fail the attach with an error rather
than panic'ing.
- Clear RUNNING and OACTIVE only in sncstop().
- Don't mess with IFF_UP.
- Don't leak 'struct ifnet' on detach.
- Setup interrupt handler after ether_ifattach().
- Call ether_ifdetach() rather than if_detach() in the pccard detach
routine.
Tested by: no one despite repeated requests
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
