ring that caused wrong things to happen sometimes.
Doubled the number of transmit descriptors to 128 so that the internal
FIFO in the NIC can be fully filled when dealing with small packets.
Several minor performance improvements.
to deal with the fact that we relied on devconf to do the shutdown
callouts in various drivers. The changes in this commit are to add support
for device shutdown in this driver via the new at_shutdown() mechanism.
Similar changes need to be made to all of the other drivers that need
a shutdown routine called (if_de.c comes to mind immediately).
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
Removed ifnet.if_init and ifnet.if_reset as they are generally unused.
Change the parameter passed to if_watchdog to be a ifnet * rather than
a unit number. All of this is an attempt to move toward not needing an
array of softc pointers (which is usually static in size) to point to
the driver softc.
if_ed.c:
Changed some of the argument passing to some functions to make a little
more sense.
if_ep.c, if_vx.c:
Killed completely bogus use of if_timer. It was being set in such a way
that the interface was being reset once per second (blech!).
