- Fix a bug in rl_rxeof() handler: in the case where the packet wraps
from the end of the receive buffer back to the beginning, we need to
insure that at least sizeof(ether_header) bytes make it into the first
mbuf. If we don't, then doing eh = mtod(m, struct ether_header *)
loses. To avoid this, we use m_pullup() to suck at least MHLEN -
RL_ETHER_ALIGN bytes into the first mbuf, which should also help
small packets fit into a single mbuf.

In order to make this work, I created a pseudo-PHY driver to deal with
Macronix chips that use the built-in NWAY support and symbol mode port.
This is actually all of them, with the exception of the original MX98713
which presents its NWAY support via the MII serial interface.
The mxphy driver actually manipulates the controller registers directly
rather than using the miibus_readreg()/miibus_writereg() bus interface
since there are no MII registers to read. The mx driver itself pretends
that the NWAY interface is a PHY locayed at MII address 31 for the sole
purpose of allowing the mxphy_probe() routine to know when it needs to
attach to a host controller.
- When setting/clearing promisc mode, just update the filter, don't
reset the whole interface.
- Call xl_init() in xl_ifmedia_upd() when setting miibus media modes. This
fixes a problem with the 3c905B-COMBO where switching from 10base5/AUI
or 10base2/BNC to a 10/100 mode doesn't always work right.
- Attempt to reset the interface in xl_init() so that we know we're getting
the receive and transmit rings reset properly.

Rather than teaching pci_ioctl about hoses, we just pass down a magic number
& let the platform code figure out what the hose is based on what the bus

The old algorithm was:

This results in claiming 'raid' and 'other' storage devices as IDE,
which is typically not the case.

o Convert the driver to using bus_space. This allows alphas with
fxp's to boot, rather than panic'ing because rman_get_virtual()
doesn't really return a virtual address on alphas.
o Fix an alpha unaligned access error caused by some misfeature of
gcc/egcs: if link_addr & rbd_addr in the fxp_rfa struct are 32 bit
quantities, egcs will assume they are naturally aligned. So it will do
a ldl & some shifty/masky to twiddle 16 bit values in fxp_lwcopy().
However, if they are 16-bit aligned, the ldl will actually be done on
a 16-bit aligned value & we will panic with an unaligned access
error... Changing their definition to an array of chars seems to fix
this. I obtained this from NetBSD.

submitter, who *still* hasn't bothered to answer me back.
The thing which the submitter completely failed to mention is that
his 3c900B-TPO card has the transceiver selection in the EEPROM set
to "auto." You can tweak the setting using the 3C90XCFG.EXE utility
that 3Com provides with the card. I'm not sure if it's supposed to
default to auto or if the user fiddled with it. Currently, the xl
driver only does autoselection for 10/100 NICs (i.e. those with NWAY
autonegotiation capabilities). For the 10baseT, 10base5, 10base2,
10baseFL and 100baseFX cards, the driver sets the default media to
whatever the EEPROM transceiver selector says. The problem is that
the "auto" selection is mistakenly identified as "10/100 NWAY
autoselection mode" and this is not handled correctly: the default
media ends up being chosen as 100baseTX, which doesn't work because
we've only added 10baseT media types to the ifmedia word. This leads
to a panic in ifmedia_set() (something else which the submitter never
bothered to mention).
A workaround for this is to re-run the 3C90XCFG.EXE utility and change
the transceiver selection to something besides "auto." I have also
patched the driver to watch for the "auto" setting in the non-miibus
case and select a reasonable default based on the card type instead of
falling through to 100baseTX and exploding.
PR: misc/13665
This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:
- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:
if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo
This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
principle of least astonishment.
- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
drivers attached never get them.
In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.
strategy used in the 3Com Linux driver. The new strategy is to use transmit
descriptor polling -- that is, the NIC polls the descriptors to see when
new packets are available for transmission. The advantage to the new scheme
is that no register accesses are needed in the transmit routine. The old
scheme requires several register accesses to stall the TX engine, update the
TX DMA list pointer register, then unstall the TX engine. Hopefully the new
scheme will provide improved transmit performance with less CPU overhead.
This only affects the 3c90xB or 3c90xC cards, not the 3c90x cards. This
means the original 3c900 and 3c905 cards are unaffected. Newer cards include
the 3c900B series, the 3c905B, 3c980, 3c980B, 3c905C and 3c905C, and the
3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect.

It's GPL'ed of course, but looking over it tonight I learned of Yet Another
Fast EtherLink XL Adapter: the 3c980C server adapter. This is basically
an updated version of the 3c980 that uses the Tornado ASIC instead of the
earlier Hurricane ASIC. The only change here is to add the new PCI device
ID (0x9805) and corresponding table entries.
I have an 82559 card with the same id as the other 8255[78] chips, but
that was made with a date code of 0699 (June 99). The submitter shows
this working with the probe etc, but doesn't actually say it works as
on the ethernet. :-) Assuming it does, this is a RELENG_3 merge candidate.

the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.

This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast
hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and
receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is
pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This
driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and
alpha architectures.

external NatSemi PHY chip was programmed to respond to MII address 24.
In the 3c905B ASICs, the transceiver is internal but it's still mapped
to MII address 24. But *some* 3Com 3c905B ASIC revisions map the
transceiver control registers to *all* MII addresses (0 through 31).
The miibus code probes for PHYs at all MII addresses and because of
this unusual behavior, it will attempt to map the same PHY registers
several times over, which doesn't work.
Naturally, the 3c905B NIC that I tested happened not to exhibit this
behavior.
The fix is to tweak xl_miibus_readreg() and xl_miibus_writereg()
to only respond when attempting to read from MII address 24. This
is safe to do since the 3Com documentation indicates that the PHY
and/or internal transceiver will always be mapped to address 24,
and there are no 3Com XL NICs with more than one PHY.

Not setting CACHETHEN turned out to be a bad idea. It can cause

due to the fact that there are non-MII cards supported by the same
driver and I don't have all of the cards available for testing. There's
also the 3c905B-COMBO which has MII, AUI and BNC media ports all in one
package. Supporting the COMBO is difficult because we have to add the
10base5 and 10base2 media types to the same ifmedia struct as the
MII-attached types, however there is no way to force the miibus and
child PHYs into existence before xl_attach() completes, so there is
no ifmedia struct available in xl_attach(). What we do inistead is
use the mediainit method as a callback: when a child PHY is attached,
it calls the miibus mediainit routine which selects a default media.
This routing also calls the NIC driver's mediainit method (if it
implements one) at which point we can safely add the other media
types.
This fixes, at least, panics in ncr_attach() on i386's with about 5MB
of memory. The restriction was a hack to leave some low memory for ISA
DMA, but on i386's we now allocate pages from the top down, so all the
restriction did was cause our allocations to fail when there is no free
memory above 1MB.
had to get the ML 6692 PHY driver working correctly, which is harder than
it sounds. "Bitrate" ThunderLAN devices should still be supported (i.e
the older 10Mbps Netflex 3/P, which use the TNETE110 chip that has no
MII support). The ThunderLAN has an internal PHY which makes things a
little complicated, but these are the basic rules:
- For devices with just the ThunderLAN, the internal PHY is used to
provide 10baseT, and 10base5/10baseT support. Autonegotiation will
work, but only with 10baseT links. The only thing that really gets
negotiated is whether the link is full or half duplex.
- For devices with the ThunderLAN and an external 10/100 PHY (like the
Compaq Netelligent 100Mbps cards, or the internal Netflex 3/P with
100Mbps upgrade daughter card), the external PHY is used for 10baseT
and 100baseTX modes. The internal PHY is still used to support
10base5/10base2, though you have to select them manual with ifconfig.
- For devices with the ThunderLAN and the ML6692 PHY, both the internal
and external PHYs are used, though it will appear as though the 6692
PHY will be used to support 10baseT and 100baseTX modes. In reality,
the internal PHY will be used for 10baseT, but this fact will be hidden
from the user. The 10base5/10base2 modes can also be selected manually
as with above.
in 4 byte chunks. It turns out that with the 82c169C on the Netgear
FA-310TX Rev D2, if you tell the chip you have reserved a buffer of 1518
bytes, it will actually treat it as 1516 bytes since 1518 is divisible
by four. Consequently, a packet of 1514 bytes will always end up consuming
two buffers: the last coupleof bytes will spill over into the next
descriptor. This causes the pn_rx_bug_war() routine to trip unnecessarily.
I'm not sure if the 82c169B or 82c168 chips behave the same way; I'll
have to check them. In any case, this change should work just as well
with them. Note that the FA-310TX Rev D2 also has a Broadcom PHY
instead of a Level One LXT970 PHY, however this shouldn't make any
difference as far as the driver is concerned.
This change also allows me to do a way with one rounding overation in
pn_rx-buf_war().
