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.

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

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

- 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.

o The reseed process is now a kthread. With SMPng, kthreads are
pre-emptive, so the annoying jerkiness of the mouse is gone.
o The data structures are protected by mutexes now, not splfoo()/splx().
o The cryptographic routines are broken out into their own subroutines.

cloning infrastructure standard in kern_conf. Modules are now
the same with or without devfs support.
If you need to detect if devfs is present, in modules or elsewhere,
check the integer variable "devfs_present".
This happily removes an ugly hack from kern/vfs_conf.c.
This forces a rename of the eventhandler and the standard clone
helper function.
Include <sys/eventhandler.h> in <sys/conf.h>: it's a helper #include
like <sys/queue.h>
Remove all #includes of opt_devfs.h they no longer matter.

Note:
- the old driver still lives in src/sys/i386/isa, so that you can
revert to it if something goes wrong.
- The module does not detach very well. Attaching works fine.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.

It uses Netgraph.
This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.
- Break out the support for the XMAC II's PHY into an miibus driver.
- Reorganize the probe/attach stuff using newbus. Each XMAC is now
attached to the parent GEnesis controller using newbus. This is
necessary since each XMAC must also have an attached miibus, and
the miibus read/write register routines need to be able to get
at the softc struct for each XMAC, not the one for the parent
controller. This allows me to get rid of the grotty code I added
for selecting the unit numbers for the ifnet interfaces: the unit
numbers are now derived from the newbus-assigned unit numbers,
which should track with the ifnet interface numbers. I think.
At the very least, there should never be any collisions.
- Add support for the SK-9821 and SK-9822 1000baseTX adapters. Special
thanks to SysKonnect for loaning me two adapters for testing.
