USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.
Highlights:
- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory

on the user stack on i386's with 64-bit longs. We still use longs to
represent "words" like argc and argv, and assume that they are on the

should also use register_t.

History:
The bulk of this code was obtained from NetBSD approximately one year
ago (I have taken care to preserve the original NetBSD copyrights and
I thank the authors for their work.) At that time, the OSF/1 code was
what was left over from their initial bootstrapping off of OSF/1 and
did not provide support for executing shared binaries.
I have independently added support for shared libraries, and support
for some of the more obscure system calls. This code has been
available for testing and comment since January of 1999 and running on
production machines here at Duke since April.
Known working applications include:
- Netscape (all versions I've tried)
- Mathematica 3.0.2
- Splus 3.4
- ArcInfo 7.1
- Matlab (version unknown)
- SimOS
- Atom instrumented binaries (built on a real OSF/1 system)
Applications which are known not to work:
- All applications linking to libmach
- Adobe Acrobat (uses libmach)
This has been tested with applications running against shared
libraries from OSF/1 (aka Tru64) 4.0D and 4.0F.

tsunami systems and the PCI bus-numbering system of FreeBSD. Eg, the former

needs to give each PCI bus a unique monotonically increasing number.
It has been fairly well tested and correctly maps machines with a ppb on

Rename sys/pci/pci_ioctl.h to sys/sys/pciio.h to make it easier for

Add a new man page for pci(4). The PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD, and PCIOCWRITE

This also completes my quest to convert things to miibus and add
Alpha support.
Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound

All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.

device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
