ethernet driver.
The BUGS section is still impressive, but the driver seems to work for
me now. Disclaimer: i haven't been able to test this under -current
so far (but it compiles, and the notebook it's intended for can now be
updated to -current more easy than before). Don't be afraid of the
many #ifdefs on __FreeBSD_version in the imported file; i want them in
the repository on the vendor-branch so other people can also manually
integrate it into older systems. I'll clean it up on the -current
branch in a followup commit. The vendor-banch version right now
supports systems back to 2.2R.
This driver should be layered upon ppc(4), but i currently have no
idea how to do this.
Eventually i'll further develop the driver to also support the more
modern RTL 8012 success, which seems to be present in a number of
cheap pocket ethernet adapters these days. Right now, i doubt it will
run with the 8012 without any changes.
Finally a big Thanks! to RealTek for promptly providing me with
documentation and with the source code for the 8012 pocket driver upon
request. I wish all vendors were that cooperative!.
linker sets don't work and thus neither does the kernel.
This should stop being a problem with an improved linker set mechanism in
the pipeline (see the bootloader) but for now this has to stay like this.
some tools requiring header files, such as errno.h, that are softlinks.
The mini installation of include files in Makefile.inc1 wasn't doing
the job, so it has been ripped out and replaced with a true make of the
/usr/src/include/ directory (make all and make beforeinstall). I think
the original idea was to save time by not installing unnecessary header
files, but it doesn't really save all that much time.
Also, I have moved a NOCLEAN conditional to cover rebuilding the object
tree 'Rebuilding the ${OBJFORMAT} obj tree' section. This may or may not
be correct but it appears to function properly. If it is not correct we
need to find another way to avoid scanning every single file in the
entire source hierarchy for make restarts.
written even it the tape was opened readonly- 2 botches in deferred error
handling for FIXED LENGTH mode which caused panic && hand resp.). Fixed
a memory leak in sa_mount.
2) Fixed an annoying bug when turning of compression to actually reflect
this for future status calls.
3) Implement the MTIOCERRSTAT call where latched control and I/O residuals
and sense data are returned to the application asking for them.
This has the useful side-effect of ensuring that opt_smp.h is
always generated, so we can assume it will always be available.

SCSI) the data returned for latched residual and error statistics.
Reserve space for LOG SENSE data which we'll get later. This area
in transition as the HP TapeAlert initiative is looked at.
The optimisation of only waiting before issuing new commands is
obviously invalid in general and it caused many errors in NIST-PCTS.
I think the errors were mostly for characters sent with the wrong
parity, etc., after a half complete tcsetattr().
Use microtime() instead of a magic loop count to limit the wait.
The wait is a busy-wait :-( and normally takes about 500 usec.
AcerLabs Aladdin-V. It makes the PCI probing work when system booting. I
will try to merge some additional funtion(i.e. wdc1 problem cause tons of
PR appear :<) ASAP if I could.
Remind me if something wrong after committing, thanks!
mechanisms. It is a little light on detail but still a pretty good
overview. I suggest that for specific detail (such as, for example,
how to setup kerberos), that additional security-DETAILNAME man pages
be written and refered to.
mechanisms ('bind' user and group) in place so the feature can be easily
turned on. There were too many complaints. The security(1) man
page will be created/updated to include the appropriate info.
The Winbond chip always includes the CRC with every received frame,
and I can't find anything in the Winbond manual that indicates you can
program it not to do this.
