with LEDs on some cards being stomped on when clearing the "jabber disable"
bit. Using DC_SETBIT() has an unwanted side effect of setting a write enable
bit in the watchdog timer register which we really want to be cleared when
we do a write.
This is in fact an Intel Orion chipset (82454KX/GX) which has been used
in HP NetServer's LS4 range.
HP Probably relabeled the DID. That's the only explanation I can find
plausible to this `mystery'.
the 12.4.11 firmware with a few changes to the link handling code merged
in from the 12.4.13 release. I'm doing this because the 12.4.13 firmware
doesn't seem to handle 10/100 link settings properly on 1000baseT cards.
Note that the revision codes still identify the firmware as 12.4.13
because both ti_fw2.h and ti_fw.h have to have the same revision values,
and I wanted to keep the 12.4.13 firmware for Tigon 1 cards.
It's nice to have firmware source.

a couple of minor tweaks to the driver.
Also changed the jumbo buffer allocation scheme just a little to avoid
'failed to allocate jumbo buffer' conditions in certain cases.
lock up under moderate to heavy load.
The status & command fields share a 32-bit longword. The programming
API of the eepro apparently requires that you update the command field
of a transmit slot that you've already given to the card. This means
the card could be updating the status field of the same longword at
the same time. Since alphas can only operate on 32-bit chunks of
memory, both the status & command fields are loaded from memory &
operated on in registers when the following line of C is executed:
sc->cbl_last->cb_command &= ~FXP_CB_COMMAND_S;
The race is caused by the card DMA'ing up the status at just the wrong
time -- after it has been loaded into a register & before it has been
written back. The old value of the status is written back, clobbering
the status the card just DMA'ed up. The fact that the card has sent
this frame is missed & the transmit engine appears to hang.
Luckily, as numerous people on the freebsd-alpha list pointed out, the
load-locked/store-conditional instructions used by the atomic
functions work with respect changes in memory due to I/O devices. We
now use them to safely update the command field.

due to improper handling of the smaller hash table, broadcast packets
were not being received correctly.

I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC

Force alphas to prefer mem mapping as the default.
Basically, we have a pointer to a function which we can call which will
return us a pointer to firmware for the card we have. We call this function
(if it's non-NULL) with the address of our mdvec f/w pointer.
The way this works is that if ispfw (as a module or a static) is loaded,
it initializes the pointer in isp_pci, so we can call into to it to fetch
a pointer to a f/w set.
If ispfw is MOD_UNLOADed, it's retained a pointer to our mdvec f/w pointers,
which then get zeroed out so we don't have any references to data that's
now gone from kernel memory. Removing the f/w saves ~360KBytes.
Alas, there is no autounload mechanism that works for is here.

The programming api is a subset of the Linux api and is only intended to

21143 chips, I accidentally removed the DC_MII_REDUCED_POLL flag
for all 21143 cards. This caused problems with timer-instigated
TCP retransmits, which happened to occur at the same time as an
MII poll tick on MII-based cards (e.g. D-Link DFE-570TX). Fixed this,
plus made some other cleanups. The autoneg fixes for the non-MII
cards still work. Also tested the PNIC II now that I have one again.

workalike chips (Macronix 98713A/98715 and PNIC II). Timing is somewhat
critical: you need to bring the link as soon as possible after NWAY
is done, and the old one second polling interval was too long. Now
we poll every 10th of a second until NWAY completes (at which point
we return to the 1 second interval again to keep an eye on the link
state).
I tested all the other cards I had on hand to make sure I didn't bust
any of them and they seem to work (including the MII-based 21143 card).
This should fix some autoneg problems with DE500-BA cards and the
built-in 10/100 ethernet on some alpha systems.
