If for some reason DEVFS is undesired, the "NODEVFS" option is

Pending any significant issues, DEVFS will be made mandatory in

exactly the same functionality via a sysctl, making this feature
a run-time option.
The default is 1(ON), which means that /dev/random device will
NOT block at startup.
setting kern.random.sys.seeded to 0(OFF) will cause /dev/random
to block until the next reseed, at which stage the sysctl
will be changed back to 1(ON).
While I'm here, clean up the sysctls, and make them dynamic.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
fields, not lex/yacc grammar so it is not an exact match but should be
close enough for most cases.
Deal with 'port?', 'irq?' style specifications. These are parsed as
seperate values in lex/yacc in config(8) but tripped up this helper tool.
deal with filename arguments. It is amazing how much you forget over time.
Thanks to the people that reminded me this. I knew there was an easy way
that didn't involve messing with $argv, filehandles, etc, but just could
not remember - all of my books are on the opposite side of the planet..
Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.
Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!

Only PCI and on-board ISA peripherials are supported at this time.
This support has been only lightly tested due to a lack of response to my
call for testers on the freebsd-alpha mailing list. It works quite well
on the one AS2100 on which it has been tested, but it may not work on
an AS2100A and should therefore be regarded as experimental.
o Drop all broadcast and multicast source addresses in tcp_input.
o Enable ICMP_BANDLIM in GENERIC.
o Change default to 200/s from 100/s. This will still stop the attack, but
is conservative enough to do this close to code freeze.
This is not the optimal patch for the problem, but is likely the least
intrusive patch that can be made for this.

USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should
have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market.
The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right
now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made
by SMC :/ ).
Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining.
This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB
bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large
bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to
believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make
use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the
aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.
hinted at in the previous config(8) commits. I've spoken about this with
a few people and after the initial suprise wore off they thought it wasn't
a bad idea. The upshot of it is that all the files*, Makefile*, options*
files are all right next to each other in the hope that people making
changes to one set will remember the others.
Note, config(8) looks to sys/conf first, and falls back to sys/$mach/conf
still, so this doesn't stop people working in subdirs for new platforms.
But once it's in the tree it can be moved next to the other files so that
the non-i386 platforms are (hopefully) treated a little better than as if
they were "second class" ports.
This does not change any user editable files. the config program is
still run in the same directory as before, the per-platform files
(GENERIC, LINT etc) are still in the same place.
it's always true on these platforms (and is likely to be on others as
well since loader is the one that is configured for whatever the boot
requirements are)

Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T, the
Entrega NET-USB-E45, the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com
3c19250 and the ADS Technologies USB-10BT. This device is 10mbs
half-duplex only, so there's miibus or ifmedia support. This device
also requires firmware to be loaded into it, however KLSI allows
redistribution of the firmware images (I specifically asked about
this; they said it was ok).
Special thanks to Annelise Anderson for getting me in touch with
KLSI (eventually) and thanks to KLSI for providing the necessary
programming info.
Highlights:
- Add driver files to /sys/dev/usb
- update usbdevs and regenerate attendate files
- update usb_quirks.c
- Update HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT for i386 and alpha
- Update LINT, GENERIC and others for i386, alpha and pc98
- Add man page
- Add module
- Update sysinstall and userconfig.c
USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.

- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
