which is either a RealTek 8139 in disguise or a RealTek workalike.
This commit fixes the PCI vendor/device ID for this device
and updates the description string to reflect the actual identity
of the device.
I also changed the transmit encapsulation routine to always to
buffer copies on transmit. We end up doing this 99% of the time
anyway. I also tweaked the code that pads packets out to the minimum
length (60) bytes. I was fixing up the m_pkthdr.len value but not
m_len. I don't think this makes that much difference in the grand
scheme of things, but it makes me feel better.

* Change the calling convention of the device mmap entry point to
pass a vm_offset_t instead of an int for the offset allowing
devices with a larger memory map than (1<<32) to be supported
on the alpha (/dev/mem is one such).
These changes are required to allow the X server to mmap the various
I/O regions used for device port and memory access on the alpha.
base register that controls Ultra-DMA, so we need to examine all possible
base registers instead of just giving up at the first empty one.
Also, looking at the source code to the BIOS, I see that they are also
checking for 0xffffffff as an invalid value so do the same. Stefan may like
to clean this up, but at least now I can find my PCI IDE registers.
and increase the tx interrupt threshold to 4. This fixes performance
problems on slower systems.
Also fix a mind-o in the rx ring init routine: I used the TX
constant instead of the RX. This isn't a problem as long as the
rings are the same size, but if they aren't hijinx will ensue.

Revert the transmission packet queueing strategy changes. Clearly I missed
something while debugging this, although I never encountered any problems
on my test machines.
Also make one other minor change: jack up the TX reclaim threshold for
3c90xB adapters in order to stave off 'transmission error: 82' errors.
Document the existence of the tx reclaim register (for inspecting the
current reclaim threshold) in register window 5 (if_xlreg.h).
agressive. With the old code, if a descriptor chain was already on its
way to the chip, xl_start() would try to splice new chains onto the end
of the current chain by stopping the transmitter, modifying the tail
pointer of the current chain to point to the head of the new chain, then
restart the transmitter. The manual says you're allowed to do this and
it works, but I'm not too keen on it anymore.
The new code waits until the eixsting chain has been sent and then
queues the next waiting chain in the 'transmit ok' handler.
Performance still looks good one way or the other.

I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
fxp_stop is called as the first thing in fxp_init, and if the tx desc
list has junk in it, the system may panic. This bug showed up as a side
effect of the changes in rev 1.56, but has been in the code since the
beginning.
this myself for ages, but wasn't able to get any feedback from the people
that I sent it to for testing.
Guy Helmer <ghelmer@scl.ameslab.gov> has given it a shot (before getting on
a plane, thanks!) and it appears to stop his reproducable page fault panic
in the testing he was able to do.
This is a 100BaseFX board with SC fiber media connectors. I don't actually
have one of these but I've been told it works with the xl driver.

the OpenBSD group to fix a problem with the default ifmedia not being
set properly in some cases with a 3c905B, leading to a panic in ifmedia_set().
Also apply a patch to force the transmit start routine to check the
transmitter to make sure it isn't wedged if the outbound tx queue appears
full. This seems to cure some problems with 'watchdog timeout' errors
cropping up in some cases. I tried to do this before by checking for the
IFF_OACTIVE flag on entry to xl_start(), but if the IFF_OACTIVE flag is
set, ether_output() won't even call xl_start(). It should work now.
Lastly, increase the size of the TX queue from 10 descriptors to 16 to
hopefully make it less likely that the TX queue will fill up.
PHYs in tl_attach(). This is mainly to suck away any possible stray
interrupts.
This prevents an intermittent problem on some systems where the adapter
probes correctly but yields a device timeout (and possible subsequent adapter
check) when configured. When I originally tested the driver, I ifconfig'ed
the interface after the system had already been booted and didn't notice
any problems, but when configuring the interface immediately at startup,
it would occasionally timeout and hang, until an adapter check interrupt
came along and reset things again. I'm not exactly sure if this is a
general problem of just something peculiar to this hardware (there are
three devices, including the tlan, all on IRQ 11) but the extra reset
shouldn't hurt anything. (It works fine with my 100Mbps Olicom adapter too.)
