leaks, but we weren't setting the device description.
While I'm here, remove some of the obfuscating macros in attach.

PR/108719, but there's a simpler fix: free it after it is used, and
then get rid of the redundant frees this causes. Other leaks in this
PR not yet fixed.
While I'm here, remove NetBSD/OpenBSD code and some of the portability
#defines that were getting in the way of understanding this code. The
devinfo bug was harder to spot because one needed to know that
device_set_desc_copy() was used inside of one of them (one that didn't
take an argument!).
Prefer device_printf(sc->sc_dev, "...") to printf("%s:...",
device_get_nameunit(sc->sc_dev)). This saves almost 300 bytes.

This has the additional side-effect of removing a C++ reserved keyword
from this file, which prevents the Click Modular Router's FreeBSD
kernel support from building.

of a tap(4) instance, if IFF_PROMISC is not set.
In tap(4), we should emulate the effect IFF_PROMISC would have on
hardware, otherwise we risk introducing layer 2 loops if tap(4) is
used with bridges. This means not even bpf(4) gets to see them.
This patch has been tested in a variety of situations. Multicast and
broadcast frames are correctly allowed through. I have observed this
behaviour causing problems with multiple QEMU instances hosted on
the same FreeBSD machine.
The checks in in ether_demux() [if_ethersubr.c, rev 1.222, line 638]
are insufficient to prevent this bug from occurring, as ifp->if_vlantrunk
will always be NULL for the non-vlan case.

via a new -c flag to be used with -l. Some simple parsing code is
present for the following capabilities: Power Management, AGP, VPD,
MSI, PCI-X, HyperTransport, Vendor-specific, EHCI Debug Port, PCI-PCI
bridge subvendor ID, PCI-express, and MSI-X.
- Fix a few warnings in pciconf.c.
- Update some cruft in pciconf(8):
- PCI 2.1 is no longer a revolutionary standard, and subvendor ID's are
fairly common at this point, so reflect that.
- Header type 2 is used for PCI-CardBus bridges.
- Describe the -v option for -l after completing the basic -l description
instead of disrupting the flow in the middle.

Note that the units used in the original Linux API are in microseconds,
so use a 64-bit mantissa to convert FreeBSD's internal measurements
from struct tcpcb from ticks.

Formulas described in RFC require high precision of floating point.
Formulas of integer math implemented in ng_pptpgre give mistake in range
of +0-7ms on RTT and +0-3ms on deviation. This leads to significant
underestimation of real packet RTT.
I have made a very simple patch to reduce mistake to +4-3ms on RTT and
+2-1ms on deviation. Mistake in RTT is not good, but gets covered by
deviation. To cover worst possible negative mistake in deviation I have
added 2ms to it. Also this 2 ms cover the case when measured deviation
is so small (about zero) that it can interfere with process scheduling
delays or weather on Mars.
My tests show decreasing of packet losses on 20ms RTT link from 2.5% to
0.3% while speed increased un 1/3.

Normally the socket buffers are static (either derived from global
defaults or set with setsockopt) and do not adapt to real network
conditions. Two things happen: a) your socket buffers are too small
and you can't reach the full potential of the network between both
hosts; b) your socket buffers are too big and you waste a lot of
kernel memory for data just sitting around.
With automatic TCP send and receive socket buffers we can start with a
small buffer and quickly grow it in parallel with the TCP congestion
window to match real network conditions.
FreeBSD has a default 32K send socket buffer. This supports a maximal
transfer rate of only slightly more than 2Mbit/s on a 100ms RTT
trans-continental link. Or at 200ms just above 1Mbit/s. With TCP send
buffer auto scaling and the default values below it supports 20Mbit/s
at 100ms and 10Mbit/s at 200ms. That's an improvement of factor 10, or
1000%. For the receive side it looks slightly better with a default of
64K buffer size.
