- All sources are built in a single object, reducing namespace pollution.
- Kill the ready queue, and handle a busy response to mly_start in callers
rather than deferring the command.
- Improve our interaction with CAM:
- Don't advertise physical channels as SCSI busses by default.
- use the SIM queue freeze capability rather than queueing CDBs internally.
- force bus reprobe at module load time.
- Clean up more resources in mly_free.
- Tidy up debugging levels.
- Tidy up handling of events (mostly just code cleanliness).
- Use explanatory macros for operations on bus/target/channel numbers.
- Move the lance_probe function to if_lnc.c.
- Support C-NET(98)S again.

a KLD. Still doesn't work well except in the PCMCIA case (now if only
pccardd(8) could load and unload drivers dynamically...). Mainly, it
tries to find fdc0 on the PCI bus for whatever obscure reasons, but i
need someone who understands driver(9) to fix this. However, it's at least
already better than before, and i'm tired of maintaining too many private
changes in my tree, given the large patches bde submitted. :)
Idea of a KLD triggered by: Michael Reifenberger <root@nihil.plaut.de>
could only get a chance of testing it under 4.3, but together with the
if_oltr.c fixes at least it seems to work now. If someone has the chance
to test this under -current, please do.
Unfortunaltey, the TR code itself (if_iso88025subr.c) is not written
in a way that would allow to make a seaparate KLD out of it. By now,
just link it directly into the oltr KLD since it's probably the POLA
to be able to load the TR code together with the only TR hardware
driver we've got by now.
I've got one single unexplained panic (in doreti_switch or somewhere
there, calling a 0xc1XXXXXX address that did no longer belong to the
kernel at all) after unloading the modules once, thus i don't propose
a MFC of this module despite my testing has been done solely on 4.3,
unless someone is really going to test this stuff in -current.
gigabit ethernet controller chip. This device is used on some
fiber optic gigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported. Hardware VLAN
filtering is not, because it doesn't play well with our existing
VLAN code. Also add manual page.
There is a 4.x version of this driver available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Level1/4.x if anyone feels adventurous
and wants to test it. I still need to do performance testing and
tuning with this device.
(For my next trick, I will make the 3Com 3cR990 sit up and beg.)
it with vfsload("msdos").
(The proper fix would be to rename the `msdos' file system to
`msdosfs' in VFS_SET(), and mount_msdos(8) to mount_msdosfs(8).
But that would break too many existing fstab(5) setups, and
would require a lot of unnecessary documentation and code
msdos -> msdosfs changes.)
Noticed by: markm
systems were repo-copied from sys/miscfs to sys/fs.
- Renamed the following file systems and their modules:
fdesc -> fdescfs, portal -> portalfs, union -> unionfs.
- Renamed corresponding kernel options:
FDESC -> FDESCFS, PORTAL -> PORTALFS, UNION -> UNIONFS.
- Install header files for the above file systems.
- Removed bogus -I${.CURDIR}/../../sys CFLAGS from userland
Makefiles.
and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000
copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with
this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.
This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
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.
This driver supports PCI Xr-based and ISA Xem Digiboard cards.
dgm will go away soon if there are no problems reported. For now,
configuring dgm into your kernel warns that you should be using
digi. This driver is probably close to supporting Xi, Xe and Xeve
cards, but I wouldn't expect them to work properly (hardware
donations welcome).
The digi_* pseudo-drivers are not drivers themselves but contain
the BIOS and FEP/OS binaries for various digiboard cards and are
auto-loaded and auto-unloaded by the digi driver at initialisation
time. They *may* be configured into the kernel, but waste a lot
of space if they are. They're intended to be left as modules.
The digictl program is (mainly) used to re-initialise cards that
have external port modules attached such as the PC/Xem.
