calculate smoothed signal quality data for each node.
o add a 16-deep history buffer to each driver-private node storage that
holds rssi and antenna info for received frames
o override the default per-node "get rssi" method to return an average
rssi value based on samples collected over the last second
o enable beacon reception so even idle systems maintain a running history
of signal quality
This data may also be useful for improving the rate control algorithm.

o mask off interrupt status bits that we don't care about so we don't do
the wrong thing; this fixes a problem where the beacon miss interrupt status
bit is delivered together with other status bits when operating in monitor
mode (we would post a beacon miss swi and then do the wrong thing)
was added to the fast path to support the COM_IIR_RXRDYBUG() case even
when that case is not configured. This increased the relative overhead
of sio input by almost 25% in the worst case and by 2-3% in the usual
case (usually only about 0.2% absolute per port at 115200 bps). The
quick fix is to significantly pessimize only the COM_IIR_RXRDYBUG()
case.

o select short preamble operation based on the negotiated capabilities; not
just the local state/capability
o fillin the duration field in the 802.11 header as appropriate
o remove detection of 11g support; no longer needed

we're on a 32-bit/64-bit bus or not. Use this to decide if we should
set the PCI dual-address cycle enable bit in the C+ command register.
(Enabling DAC on a 32-bit bus seems to do bad things.)
Also, initialize the C+ command register early in the re_init() routine.
The documentation says this register should be configured first.
We simply use the detected FIFO size to determine whether we have
a post 16550 UART or not. The support lacks proper serialization of
hardware access for now.
fixes a longstanding issue WRT resetting the chip after startup- it
would fail if we were connected as an F-port to a switch. If we
were connected as an F-port, we got assigned a hard loop ID of 255,
which is really a bogus loop id. Then when we turned around to
reset ourselves, the firmware would reject the ICB_INIT request
because the loop id was bogus. *sputter*
Minor fixlet from somebody in NetBSD with too much time on their
hands (dma -> DMA).

console to work on Blade 100s, where the device name is just "serial".

Second (PPS) timing interface. The support is non-optional and by
default uses the DCD line signal as the pulse input. A compile-time
option (UART_PPS_ON_CTS) can be used to have uart(4) use the CTS line
signal.
Include <sys/timepps.h> in uart_bus.h to avoid having to add the
inclusion of that header in all source files.

unexpectedly.)

the station address correctly on the 8169S.
- Insert a delay after initiating packet transmition in re_diag() to
allow lots of time for the frame to echo back to the host, and wait
for both the 'RX complete' and 'timeout expired' bits in the ISR
register to be set.
- Deal more intelligently with the fact that the frame length
field in the RX descriptor is a different width on the 8139C+
than it is on the 8169/8169S/8110S
- For the 8169, you have to set bit 17 in the TX config register
to enter digital loopback mode, but for the 8139C+, you have to
set both bits 17 and 18. Take this into account so that re_diag()
works properly for both types of chips.

may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:

- Deal with shared interrupts in re_intr(): if interface isn't up,

- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)

wrongly program the APIC.

exactly what bit combination goes with which chip variant.)

safely assume that it is at least 16 bytes. Note that all this is
mostly academic anyway. We don't use the size of the Rx FIFO
currently. If we add support for hardware flow control, we only
care about Rx FIFO sizes larger than 16.

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.
