trunk ports first. If that succeeds, and we're inside our own bounds,
so be it.
Still not ideal -- adding a port after changing an MTU doesn't change
port's MTU, but a step in the right direction.

I've slightly edited a patch to make the conditional logic positive
and remove (what I think was) a redundant ng_fec_init() call.
rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are
through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.
a synchronous reprogramming of hardware MAC filters if the physical
interface are up and running. Previously, MAC filters would be
reconfigured only when the fec interface was brought up.
- Disallow bundle reconfiguration when virtual
interface is running; otherwise, removing a
port from a running configuration will cause
a panic in the start() method on the next packet
on an assumption that a bundle has an even
number of ports (2 or 4).
- Disallow bringing of virtual interface to a
running state when a bundle size is 0; otherwise,
adding and then removing the port will similarly
cause a panic.
- Add missing initialization of fec_ifstat when
adding a new port and fix media status reporting
when virtual interface isn't yet up (check for
fec_status of 1 rather than != 0).
previously, ifp->if_type was set to IFT_ETHER by
ether_ifattach(), now it's done by if_alloc() so
an assignment of if_type to IFT_PROPVIRTUAL after
if_alloc() but before ether_ifattach() broke it.
This makes arp(8) and friends happy about the fec
interfaces, and will allow us to use if_setlladdr()
on the fec interface.
- Set/reset IFF_DRV_RUNNING/IFF_DRV_OACTIVE in init()
and stop() methods rather than in ioctl(), like the
rest of the drivers do. This fixes a bug when an
"ifconfig fec0 ipv4_address" would not have made
the interface running, didn't launch the ticker
function to track media status of bundled ports,
etc.
the code, i.e. ng_fec_init() is called with the ifp->if_softc pointer and
NOT with the ifp pointer.

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

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.

Tweak things so that ng_fec has a chance of working with things
other than ethernet. Use ifp->if_output of the underlying interfaces
and use IF_HANDOFF() rather than depending on ether_output() and
ether_output_frame() explicitly. Also, don't insist that underlying
devices be IFM_ETHER when checking their link states in the link
monitor code.
With these changes, I was able to create a two channel bundle
consisting of one ethernet interface and one 802.11 wireless
device (via ndis). Note that this only works because both devices
use the same if_output vector: ng_fec will not let you bundle
devices with different output vectors together (it really doesn't
make sense to do that).

The latter is meant only for use by ng_ether, and using it breaks
interoperability with the rest of netgraph.

On passing, comment an useless invocation of TAILQ_INIT(&ifp->if_addrhead)

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

- Make transmission of packets work again. This stopped working because
ether_ifattach() was forcing ifp->if_output to be ether_output() and
clobbering our attempt to override this vector with a pointer to
ng_fec_output(). Move the overriding of ifp->if_output to after
ether_ifattach().
- Abandon the use of the netgraph ng_ether_input_p hook for snagging
incoming frames, and instead override the ifp->if_input vector for
interfaces that have been aggregated into our bundle. (I would have
loved to have written things this way in the first place, but I
didn't want to have to be the one to implement the if_input hook
and change all the drivers.) This avoids collisions with the ng_ether
module, which uses the same hook. Each aggregated device now calls
ng_fec_input() directly, which then fakes up the rcvif pointer
before invoking ifp->if_input itself.
This module should actually work now.
changed since this code was written:
- The ng_ether_input_p hook only accepts two arguments now: the pointer
to the ether header structure is gone.
- It's no longer necessary to cons up a fake ether header before passing
incoming packets to BPF_MTAP().
ng_fec_input() has been modified to account for these two changes.
Running tcpdump on fec0 should work now.

These are really only partly netgraph nodes as they do not use the
netgraph interfaces for many of the functions for which they could
be used, however they represent important functionality.
