packets into a single buffer, and set the DC_TX_COALESCE flag for the
Davicom DM9102 chip. I thought I had escaped this problem, but... This
chip appears to silently corrupt or discard transmitted frames when
using scatter/gather DMA (i.e. DMAing each packet fragment in place
with a separate descriptor). The only way to insure reliable transmission
is to coalesce transmitted packets into a single cluster buffer. (There
may also be an alignment constraint here, but mbuf cluster buffers are
naturally aligned on 2K boundaries, which seems to be good enough.)
The DM9102 driver for Linux written by Davicom also uses this workaround.
Unfortunately, the Davicom datasheet has no errata section describing
this or any other apparently known defect.
Problem noted by: allan_chou@davicom.com.tw
drive the transmitter, we have to check the interface's send queue in the
TX end of frame handler (i.e. the usb bulk out callback) and push out new
transmissions if the queue has packets in it and the transmitter is
ready. But the txeof handler is also called from a USB callback running
at splusb() too.
Grrr.
Use IFQ_MAXLEN instead. This seemed like a good idea at the time since
most 3c509s have all of 2k for their TX fifo. My intention was to revisit
ifq_maxlen and auto-scale it or something.

I've got some tweaks that move the TX speed up to the RX speed but I've
got to groom them from the mess I've made of my source tree.

ddb is entered. Don't refer to `in_Debugger' to see if we
are in the debugger. (The variable used to be static in Debugger()
and wasn't updated if ddb is entered via traps and panic anyway.)
- Don't refer to `in_Debugger'.
- Add `db_active' to i386/i386/db_interface.d (as in
alpha/alpha/db_interface.c).
- Remove cnpollc() stub from ddb/db_input.c.
- Add the dbctl function to syscons, pcvt, and sio. (The function for
pcvt and sio is noop at the moment.)

Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.
There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)
The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.
The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.
Also removed some uneeded includes from if_aue.c and if_kue.c

Driver is not functional yet, but does compile. Tests with xe cards
indicates that it doesn't panic the machine when they are present, but
fail to probe. Interface help in the pcic/pccard layers are needed to
complete this driver.
o ifdef out pccardchip.h (almost all of it, there are dangling bits
o Add rid/res members to pccard_function
o remove pct/pch from pccard_softc
o map memory properly in scan_cis (almost, see XXX for more work)
o manage ccr.
o remove bogus comment I added about touching the ccr being a layering
violation for pccard. It is properly done at that level.
o More function prototyping
whilst we are playing or recording. since we should irq ~20 times/sec when
active, this should never trigger. in theory. if it never does trigger,
the check will be removed.
- Set MAX_OFFS driver compile option to 63 (was 64 which is wrong).
- Fix a typo in the SYMBIOS NVRAM layout structure and add field and
bit definition for the support of PIM_NOBUSRESET.
- Report to XPT PIM_NOBUSRESET and PIM_SCANHILO if set by user in NVRAM.
- Negotiate SYNC immediately after WIDE response from the target as
suggested by Justin Gibbs.
- Remove some misleading comment about CmdQue handling by CAM.
- Apply correctly the MAX_WIDE and MAX_OFFS driver options.
It seems that the IDE system uses 0x3f6 for itself, which conflicts with
fdc's default 0x3f0-3f7 allocation range. Sigh. Work around this.
Use bus_set_resource() rather than allocating specific areas, it makes
the code a little cleaner.

Note: the .INF file for LinkSys's driver says the vendor ID is 0x66b,
however this does not agree with the vendor ID listed for LinkSys in
the company list from www.usb.org. In fact, 0x66b doesn't seem to appear
in the company list at all. Furthermore, this same vendor ID crops
up in some of the D-Link .INF files. Frankly I don't know what the heck
is going on here, but I need to add 0x66b to usbdevs and call it
something, so here we are.
certain PHY addresses in aue_miibus_readreg(). Not all adapters based
on the Pegasus chip may have their PHYs wired for the same MII bus
addresses: the logic that I used for my ADMtek eval board might not
apply to other adapters, so make sure to only use it if this is really
an ADMtek eval board (check the vendor/device ID).
This will hopefully make the LinkSys USB100TX adapter work correctly.
makes it a little easier to notice that parity checking an 8bit sram
isn't working.
Turn on scb and internal data-path parity checking for all pci chips types.
We were only doing this for ultra2 chips.
After clearing the parity interrupt status, clear the BRKADRINT. This
avoids seeing a bogus BRKADRINT interrupt after external SCB probing
once normal interrupts are enabled.

93cx6.c:
Make the SRAM dump output a little prettier.
aic7xxx.c:
Store all SG entries into our SG array in kernel space.
This makes data-overrun and other error reporting more
useful as we can dump all SG entries. In the past,
we only stored the SG entries that the sequencer might
need to access, which meant we skipped the first element
that is embedded into the SCB.
Add a table of chip strings and replace ugly switch
statements with table lookups.
Add a table with bus phase strings and message reponses
to parity errors in those phases. Use the table to
pretty print bus phase messages as well as collapse
another switch statement.
Fix a bug in target mode that could cause us to unpause
the sequencer early in bus reset processing.
Add the 80MHz/DT mode into our syncrate table. This
rate is not yet used or enabled.
Correct some comments, clean up some code...
aic7xxx.h:
Add U160 controller feature information.
Add some more bit fields for various SEEPROM formats.
aic7xxx.reg:
Add U160 register and register bit definitions.
aic7xxx.seq:
Make phasemis state tracking more straight forward. This
avoids the consumption of SINDEX which is a very useful register.
For the U160 chips, you must use the 'mov' instruction to
update DFCNTRL. Using 'or' to set the PRELOADED bit is
completely ineffective.
At the end of the command phase, wair for our ACK signal
to de-assert before disabling the SCSI dma engine. For
slow devices, this avoids clearing the ACK before the
other end has had a chance to see it and lower REQ.
controllers will run at U2 speeds until I can complete the U160 support
for this driver.
Correct a termination buglet for the 2940UW-Pro.
Be more paranoid in how we probe and enable external ram, fast external
ram timing and external ram parity checking. We should now work on
20ns and 8bit SRAM parts.
Perform initial setup for the DT feature on cards that support it.
Factorize and clean up code. Use tables where it makes sense, etc.
Add some delays in dealing with the board control logic. I've never
seen this code fail, but with the ever increasing speed of processors,
its better to insert deterministic delays just to be safe. This stuff
is only touched during probe and attach, so the extra delay is of no
concern.
ethernet adapters that are supported by the aue and kue drivers.
There are actually a couple more out there from Accton, Asante and
EXP Computer, however I was not able to find any Windows device
drivers for these on their servers, and hence could not harvest
their vendor/device ID info. If somebody has one of these things
and can look in the .inf file that comes with the Windows driver,
I'd appreciate knowing what it says for 'VID' and 'PID.'
Additional adapters include: the D-Link DSB-650 and DSB-650TX, the
SMC 2102USB, 2104USB and 2202USB, the ATen UC10T, and the Netgear EA101.
These are all mentioned in the man pages, relnotes and LINT.
Also correct the date in the kue(4) man page. I wrote this thing
on Jan, 4 2000, not 1999.
