I don't know why, and it doesn't really matter since the driver treats both chips the same anyway.) if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many clones there are running around) All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast filtering. Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and sysinstall device list. I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.

I don't know why, and it doesn't really matter since the driver treats both chips the same anyway.) if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many clones there are running around) All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast filtering. Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and sysinstall device list. I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.

The

driver always copies transmit mbuf chains into longword-aligned
buffers prior to transmission in order to pacify the Rhine chips.
If buffers are not aligned correctly, the chip will round the
supplied buffer address and begin DMAing from the wrong location.
This buffer copying impairs transmit performance on slower systems but can't
