o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

possible to have different probe/attach semantics between the two
systems and yet still use the same driver for both.
Compatibility methods for OLDCARD drivers. We use these routines to make
it possible to call the OLDCARD driver's probe routine in the context that
it expects. For OLDCARD these are implemented as pass throughs to the
device_{probe,attach} routines. For NEWCARD they are implemented such
such that probe becomes strictly a matching routine and attach does both
the old probe and old attach.
compat devices should use the following:
/* Device interface */
DEVMETHOD(device_probe), pccard_compat_probe),
DEVMETHOD(device_attach), pccard_compat_attach),
/* Card interface */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_match, foo_match), /* newly written */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_probe, foo_probe), /* old probe */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_attach, foo_attach), /* old attach */
This will allow a single driver binary image to be used for both
OLDCARD and NEWCARD.
Drivers wishing to not retain OLDCARD compatibility needn't do this.
ep driver minorly updated.
sn driver updated more than minorly. Add module dependencies to allow
module to load. Also change name to if_sn. Add some debugging code.

ether_ifdetach().
The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input().
Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

o Return ENXIO from sn_isa_probe
o Fix SN_DEBUG printf
o Use IFQ_MAXLEN rather than 8
I'll fix the isa probe when I get access to a real isa attachment
device to test against here in a few days.
Overly agressive snagging behavior noticed by: phk
Add support, kinda, for megaheartz xjack nic cards. This support
works well for one machine per ethernet segment because it hard codes
the MAC address. The pccardd in -current doesn't have support to
parse the ethernet address from the CIS in the funky way that the
megaheartz card does things (it includes it in the info tuple, as
ascii, which is non-standard). I'd rather kludge this for the moment
and work to read the CIS from the kernel rather than mess with
pccardd.
The isa attachment is untested. The pccard attachment is known to
work since I'm committing over it.

3.3R and then to -current. The pccard support has been left in the
driver, but is presently non-functional because we are using the
isa_compat layer for the moment.
