out 32 is not enough to support a full sized TSO packet.
While I'm here fix a long standing bug introduced in r169632 in
bce(4) where it didn't include L2 header length of TSO packet in
the maximum DMA segment size calculation.

controller does not perform automatic switching from 1000Mbps link
to 10/100Mbps link when WOL is activated. Implement establishing
10/100Mps link with auto-negotiation in driver. Link status change
handler was modified to remove taskqueue based approach since driver
now needs synchronous handling for link establishment.

While I'm here move creating a sysctl node for process_limit to
function nfe_sysctl_node().

allocator for jumbo frame. Also remove unneeded jlist lock which
is no longer required to protect jumbo buffers.
With these changes jumbo frame performance of nfe(4) was slightly
increased and users should not encounter jumbo buffer allocation
failure anymore.
MCLBYTES for the segment size but it used too many Tx descriptors in
TSO case.
While I'm here adjust maximum size of the sum of all segment lengths
in a given DMA mapping to 65535, the maximum size, in bytes, of a IP
packet.
o s/printf/device_printf/g
o Nuke OpenBSDism.
o Nuke NetBSD/OpenBSD specific DMA sync operations.(we don't have a way
to sync a single descriptor within a DMA map.)
o Remove recursive mutex.
o bus_dma(9) clean up.
o 40bit DMA address support.
o Add protection for Rx map load failure.
o Fix a long standing bug for watchdog timeout. [1]
o Add additional protections, missing Tx completion interrupt, losing
start Tx command, for watchdog timeout.
o Switch to taskqueue(9) API to handle interrupts.
o Use our own timer for watchdog instead of if_watchdog/if_timer
interface.
o Advertise VLAN header length/capability correctly to upper layer.
o Remove excessive kernel stack consumption in nfe_encap().
o Handle highly fragmented mbuf chains correctly.
o Enable etherenet address reprogramming with ifconfig(8).
o Add ALTQ/TSO, MSI/MSIX support.
o Increased Rx ring to 256 descriptors from 128.
o Align Tx/Rx descriptor ring on sizeof(struct nfe_desc64) boundary.
o Remove alignment restrictions on Tx/Rx buffers.
o Rewritten jumbo frame support code.
o Add support for hardware assistend VLAN tag insertion/stripping.
o Add support for Tx/Rx flow control based on patches from Peer Chen. [2]
o Add a routine that detects whether ethernet address swap routines is
required. [3]
o Add a workaround that take MAC/PHY out of power down mode.
o Add suspend/resume support.
o style(9) and code clean up.
Special thanks to Shigeaki Tagashira, the original porter of nfe(4),
who submitted lots of patches, performed uncountable number of
regression tests and maintained nfe(4) for a long time. Without his
enthusiastic help and support I could never have completed this
overhauling task.
The only weak point of nfe(4) compared to nve(4) is instability of
manual half-duplex media selection on certain hardwares(auto sensing
media type should work for all cases, though). This was a long
standing bug of nfe(4) and I still have no idea why it doesn't work
on some hardwares.

This driver was ported from OpenBSD by Shigeaki Tagashira
<shigeaki@se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp> and posted at

It was additionally cleaned up by me.
It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC.
And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.
