a KLD. Still doesn't work well except in the PCMCIA case (now if only
pccardd(8) could load and unload drivers dynamically...). Mainly, it
tries to find fdc0 on the PCI bus for whatever obscure reasons, but i
need someone who understands driver(9) to fix this. However, it's at least
already better than before, and i'm tired of maintaining too many private
changes in my tree, given the large patches bde submitted. :)
Idea of a KLD triggered by: Michael Reifenberger <root@nihil.plaut.de>
could only get a chance of testing it under 4.3, but together with the
if_oltr.c fixes at least it seems to work now. If someone has the chance
to test this under -current, please do.
Unfortunaltey, the TR code itself (if_iso88025subr.c) is not written
in a way that would allow to make a seaparate KLD out of it. By now,
just link it directly into the oltr KLD since it's probably the POLA
to be able to load the TR code together with the only TR hardware
driver we've got by now.
I've got one single unexplained panic (in doreti_switch or somewhere
there, calling a 0xc1XXXXXX address that did no longer belong to the
kernel at all) after unloading the modules once, thus i don't propose
a MFC of this module despite my testing has been done solely on 4.3,
unless someone is really going to test this stuff in -current.
gigabit ethernet controller chip. This device is used on some
fiber optic gigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported. Hardware VLAN
filtering is not, because it doesn't play well with our existing
VLAN code. Also add manual page.
There is a 4.x version of this driver available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Level1/4.x if anyone feels adventurous
and wants to test it. I still need to do performance testing and
tuning with this device.
(For my next trick, I will make the 3Com 3cR990 sit up and beg.)
it with vfsload("msdos").
(The proper fix would be to rename the `msdos' file system to
`msdosfs' in VFS_SET(), and mount_msdos(8) to mount_msdosfs(8).
But that would break too many existing fstab(5) setups, and
would require a lot of unnecessary documentation and code
msdos -> msdosfs changes.)

- Renamed the following file systems and their modules:
fdesc -> fdescfs, portal -> portalfs, union -> unionfs.
- Renamed corresponding kernel options:
FDESC -> FDESCFS, PORTAL -> PORTALFS, UNION -> UNIONFS.
- Install header files for the above file systems.
- Removed bogus -I${.CURDIR}/../../sys CFLAGS from userland

this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.
This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.
This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.
This driver supports PCI Xr-based and ISA Xem Digiboard cards.
dgm will go away soon if there are no problems reported. For now,
configuring dgm into your kernel warns that you should be using
digi. This driver is probably close to supporting Xi, Xe and Xeve
cards, but I wouldn't expect them to work properly (hardware
donations welcome).
The digi_* pseudo-drivers are not drivers themselves but contain
the BIOS and FEP/OS binaries for various digiboard cards and are
auto-loaded and auto-unloaded by the digi driver at initialisation
time. They *may* be configured into the kernel, but waste a lot
of space if they are. They're intended to be left as modules.
The digictl program is (mainly) used to re-initialise cards that
have external port modules attached such as the PC/Xem.
the main benefit this gives for now is that via686 audio devices on
motherboards with ac97 codecs that do not support vra will be able to use
sample rates other than 48khz.
bolted to a ne-2000 chip. This is necessary for the NetGear FA-410TX
and other cards.
This also requires you add mii to your kernel if you have an ed driver
configured.
This code will result in a couple of timeout messages for ed on the
impacted cards. Additional work will be needed, but this does work
right now, and many people need these cards.

This helps to stop it from geting out of sync.
It is not part of the normal build but I can use it with all the others
when I make changes to netgraph to ensure it is buildable.

optional.
Also add commented out pccard lines for all the old card drivers.
They have to be commented out until they are converted because it
causes problems in NEWCARD.

To use it, some dll is needed. And currently, the dll is only for NetBSD.
So one more kernel module is needed.

this gives us several benefits, including:
* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are
added.
Add detach routine and turn driver into a module so it can be loaded
and unloaded. Also take a stab at implementing multicast packet
reception so that this NIC will work with IPv6. Promiscuous mode
doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure why. It works well enough that
I can run dhclient on it and put it on the office network though.
Also ripped out spl stuff and replaced it with mutexes.
- Move PCI core code to dev/pci.
- Split bridge code out into separate modules.
- Remove the descriptive strings from the bridge drivers. If you
want to know what a device is, use pciconf. Add support for
broadly identifying devices based on class/subclass, and for
parsing a preloaded device identification database so that if
you want to waste the memory, you can identify *anything* we know
about.
- Remove machine-dependant code from the core PCI code. APIC interrupt
mapping is performed by shadowing the intline register in machine-
dependant code.
- Bring interrupt routing support to the Alpha
(although many platforms don't yet support routing or mapping
interrupts entirely correctly). This resulted in spamming
<sys/bus.h> into more places than it really should have gone.
- Put sys/dev on the kernel/modules include path. This avoids
having to change *all* the pci*.h includes.
Providing shell scripts that do nothing but load a similarly named

There is no ibcs2(4) manual page, and I haven't managed to coax

our kernel module system learned how to handle dependencies.
Providing a whole bunch of shell scripts that do nothing but load

The svr4(8) manual page has been replaced with a much better svr4(4)
page.
- Make pccbb/cardbus kld loadable and unloadable.
- Make pccbb/cardbus use the power interface from pccard instead of inventing its own.
- some other minor fixes
out of fashion. This particular case, unlike joy(8) and friends which
are just plain silly, did more than just load a kernel loadable module.
However, /etc/rc and the linux_base port were adjusted a while back to
cope with the absence of this script.
The only outstanding reason to hang on to it would have been for the
linux(8) manual page, which clued folks into the existence of the
Linuxulator. A new linux(4) was introduced a while back. It does
a much better job.
This script just isn't useful any more.
- Layout reorganisation to enhance portability. The driver now has
a relatively MI 'core' and a FreeBSD-specific layer over the top.
Since the NetBSD people have already done their own port, this is
largely just to help me with the BSD/OS port.
- Request ID allocation changed to improve performance (I'd been
considering switching to this approach after having failed to come
up with a better way to dynamically allocate request IDs, and seeing
Andy Doran use it in the NetBSD port of the driver convinced me
that I was wasting my time doing it any other way). Now we just
allocate all the requests up front.
- Maximum request count bumped back to 255 after characterisation
of a firmware issue (off-by-one causing it to crash with 256
outstanding commands).
- Control interface implemented. This allows 3ware's '3dm' utility to
talk to the controller. 3dm will be available from 3ware shortly.
- Controller soft-reset feature added; if the controller signals a
firmware or protocol error, the controller will be reset and all
outstanding commands will be retried.
now in dirs called sys/*/random/ instead of sys/*/randomdev/*.
Introduce blocking, but only at startup; the random device will
block until the first reseed happens to prevent clients from
using untrustworthy output.
Provide a read_random() call for the rest of the kernel so that
the entropy device does not need to be present. This means that
things like IPX no longer need to have "device random" hardcoded
into thir kernel config. The downside is that read_random() will
provide very poor output until the entropy device is loaded and
reseeded. It is recommended that developers do NOT use the
read_random() call; instead, they should use arc4random() which
internally uses read_random().
Clean up the mutex and locking code a bit; this makes it possible
to unload the module again.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
