Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets. There are a _lot_ of OEM'ed
gigabit ethernet adapters out there which use the Alteon chipset so
this driver covers a fair amount of hardware. I know that it works with
the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620, however it should also
work with the DEC/Compaq EtherWORKS 1000, Silicon Graphics Gigabit
ethernet board, NEC Gigabit Ethernet board and maybe even the IBM and
and Sun boards. The Netgear board is the cheapest (~$350US) but still
yields fairly good performance.
Support is provided for jumbo frames with all adapters (just set the
MTU to something larger than 1500 bytes), as well as hardware multicast
filtering and vlan tagging (in conjunction with the vlan support in
-current, which I should merge into -stable soon). There are some hooks
for checksum offload support, but they're turned off for now since
FreeBSD doesn't have an officially sanctioned way to support checksum
offloading (yet).
I have not added the 'device ti0' entry to GENERIC since the driver
with all the firmware compiled in is quite large, and it doesn't really
fit into the category of generic hardware.

Describe the superdevice method of ensuring that people at least
recognize the problem if they run into a debug synchronization problem.
Describe /dev/vinum/control*
Describe drive "referenced" state.
Remove warning about kldunload; it seems to work now.
Still more descriptions of how to debug things.
AX88140A with power management and magic packet support. Correct the
addresses of the PCI power management registers and add some code to
detect the revision ID of the AX88141 and identify it in the probe
messages.
No other changes are needed since the AX88141 is functionally
identical to the AX88140A.
- Add syscons.4.
If there still are errors, whether technical or grammatical, they are
entirely mine, not the reviewers'.

and Racore 8148 adapters are now supported by the ThunderLAN driver.
The 8165 is just a plain vanilla 10/100 card; the 8148 is a 'multi-
personality' adapter which can support 10baseT, 100baseTX and 100baseFX
if you include the proper modules.
Also update the tl man page to mention the Racore cards.
