sn(4) driver and also looking at newer drivers. The reason for the rewrite is
to support MII and to try and resolve some performance issues found when trying
to use the sn(4) driver on the Gumstix network boards.
For reference, the SMSC LAN91C111 is a non-PCI ethernet part whose lineage
dates back to Ye Olde Days of ISA. It seems to get some use in the embedded
space these days on parts lacking on-board MACs or on-board PCI controllers,
such as the XScale PXA line of ARM CPUs.
This also includes a driver for the SMSC LAN83C183 10/100 PHY.

10/100 operation and place the mailbox registers at a different offset.
They also do not have an EEPROM, so the MAC address must be read from
NVRAM instead.

- Moved BCM5706S/5708S SerDes support to brgphy (since they are not technically
TBI interfaces)
- Added 2.5G support for BCM5708S
Comments:
Since this driver is shared with bge I tested several available controllers
supported by bge and all worked as expected, however the list was not
exhaustive. Need wider testing.

addition of SerDes support. According to the docs, the 5706C and 5708C
phys are supposed to use the same MII model that is separate from the
SerDes parts, but the 5706C actually uses the MII model of the SerDes
parts. To fix this, readd the old 5706C entry to miidevs and add a
special check in brgphy_probe() for phys that match the 5706C ID. If
the phy is supported by the gentbi(4) driver, then it's a SerDes phy, so
we fail the probe and let gentbi(4) grab it. Otherwise, it's a 5706C phy,
so we let brgphy(4) grab it.

I have from Broadcom does not give much information on these devices,
so the Broadcom Linux driver was used for clues to what these chips
support. It turns out they are similar to the 5705 with the 5751

settings.
VT6122 gigabit ethernet chip and integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY.
The vge driver has been added to GENERIC for i386, pc98 and amd64,
but not to sparc or ia64 since I don't have the ability to test
it there. The vge(4) driver supports VLANs, checksum offload and
jumbo frames.
Also added the lge(4) and nge(4) drivers to GENERIC for i386 and
pc98 since I was in the neighborhood. There's no reason to leave them
out anymore.
Tested at 100Mbit only, using Asus P4P800 onboard 3C940.

ethernet chips. This driver is pretty simple, however it contains
special DSP initialization code which is needed in order to get
the chip to negotiate a gigE link. (This special initialization
may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:
- Fix typo in if_rlreg.h (RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MPS -> RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MBPS)
- Deal with shared interrupts in re_intr(): if interface isn't up,
return.
- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)
- Allow PHY driver to read the RL_GMEDIASTAT register via the
re_gmii_readreg() register (this is register needed to determine
real time link/media status).

me). I'm checking it in on Stuart's behalf.
The BCM4401 is built into several x86 laptop and desktop systems. For the
moment, I have only enabled it in the x86 kernel config because although
it's a PCI device, I haven't heard of any standalone NICs that use it. If
somebody knows of one, we can easily add it to the other arches.
This driver uses register/structure data gleaned from the Linux
driver released by Broadcom, but does not contain any of the code
from the Linux driver itself. It uses busdma.
- 5705 doesn't support jumbo frames
- Statistics must be read from registers
- RX return ring must be capped at 512 entries
- Omit initialization of certain device blocks
- Acknowledge link change interrupts by setting the 'link changed'
bit in the status register (used to have no effect)
- Remember to toggle the MI completion bit too
- Set the mbuf low watermark differently (on-chip memory buffers,
not BSD mbufs)
- Don't enable Ethernet@WireSpeed feature for certain 5705 chip revs
- Add additional PCI IDs for 5705 and 5782 parts
- Add a forgotten 5704 PCI ID
Most changes ripped kicking and screaming from the Broadcom linux driver.

If people try this with their xl cards and decide that it's a better choice,
we can switch this later.

doesn't support NWAY, the RealTek PHY (both the integrated ones on 8139
chips and the RTL8201L 10/100 PHY) will not report the link speed via
the ANLPAR or BMSR registers. For the 8201L, we need to look in magic
vendor-specific PHY register 0x19. For the 8139 MAC+PHY combo, we have
to be able to test the RL_MEDIASTAT register.
The changes to rlphy.c are based largely on the patch from PR 30836,
however I tried to eliminate some magic numbers by creating an entry
for the 8201 PHY in miidevs.
Also updated if_rl.c to allow the rlphy driver to read the RL_MEDIASTAT
register via the rl_miibus_readreg() routine.

the built-in 1000baseX interface in the Level 1 LXT1001 chip. The Level 1
PHY comes up with the isolate bit in the control register set by default,
but it also has the autonegotiate bit set. When you tell the xmphy driver
to select IFM_AUTO mode, it sees that the autoneg bit is already on, and
thus doesn't bother updating the control register. However this means that
the isolate bit is never turned off (unless you manually select 1000baseSX
full or half duplex mode, which does result in the control register being
modified and the ISO bit being turned off).
This subtle and unusual behavioral difference stopped me from being able
to receive packets on the SMC9462TX card for several days, since isolating
the PHY disconnects it from the MAC's data interface. The fix is to omit
the 'is the autoneg big set?' test, since it doesn't really provide much
of an optimization anyway.
This commit also updates the xmphy driver to support the Jato/Level 1
internal PHY. (I'm not sure how Jato Technologies is related to Level 1:
all I know is the OUI from the PHY ID registers maps to Jato in the OUI
database.) This will be used once I add the if_lge driver to support
the LXT10010 chip.

I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.
This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.
Parag Patel did all of the grunt work, so he gets the credit.
