In order to make this work, I created a pseudo-PHY driver to deal with
Macronix chips that use the built-in NWAY support and symbol mode port.
This is actually all of them, with the exception of the original MX98713
which presents its NWAY support via the MII serial interface.
The mxphy driver actually manipulates the controller registers directly
rather than using the miibus_readreg()/miibus_writereg() bus interface
since there are no MII registers to read. The mx driver itself pretends
that the NWAY interface is a PHY locayed at MII address 31 for the sole
purpose of allowing the mxphy_probe() routine to know when it needs to
attach to a host controller.
- When setting/clearing promisc mode, just update the filter, don't
reset the whole interface.
- Call xl_init() in xl_ifmedia_upd() when setting miibus media modes. This
fixes a problem with the 3c905B-COMBO where switching from 10base5/AUI
or 10base2/BNC to a 10/100 mode doesn't always work right.
- Attempt to reset the interface in xl_init() so that we know we're getting
the receive and transmit rings reset properly.
* Change the hack used on the alpha for mapping devices into DENSE or
BWX memory spaces to a simpler one. Its still a hack and should be
a seperate api to explicitly map the resource.
* Add $FreeBSD$ as necessary.
Rather than teaching pci_ioctl about hoses, we just pass down a magic number
& let the platform code figure out what the hose is based on what the bus
number is.

The old algorithm was:
if class == storage and subclass != SCSI device must be IDE
This results in claiming 'raid' and 'other' storage devices as IDE,
which is typically not the case.

This file contained the structures for cfdata (old style config) and is no
longer used. It was included by most drivers.
It confuses the remote debugger as the definition of 'struct device' in
device.h is found before the one in bus_private.h.
For unknown devices the output will now be
pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 14.1 irq 19
instead of
pci0: unknown card DD^0878 (vendor=0x109e, dev=0x0878) at 14.1 irq 19
Before this change, the code used to take the PCI vendor id and translate it
into a three letter ASCII name.
For PnP devices, the vendor id _does_ map to a nice ASCII name
(eg Creative Labs PnP ID maps to "CTL", ESS PnP ID maps to "ESS")
But there is no such mapping for PCI devices, as can be seen by the
example above where the Brooktree PCI vendor ID maps to "DD^"
The PCI Special Interest Group confirmed they do not have any mappings
from vendor ID to ASCII.

o Convert the driver to using bus_space. This allows alphas with
fxp's to boot, rather than panic'ing because rman_get_virtual()
doesn't really return a virtual address on alphas.
o Fix an alpha unaligned access error caused by some misfeature of
gcc/egcs: if link_addr & rbd_addr in the fxp_rfa struct are 32 bit
quantities, egcs will assume they are naturally aligned. So it will do
a ldl & some shifty/masky to twiddle 16 bit values in fxp_lwcopy().
However, if they are 16-bit aligned, the ldl will actually be done on
a 16-bit aligned value & we will panic with an unaligned access
error... Changing their definition to an array of chars seems to fix
this. I obtained this from NetBSD.
I've tested this on both i386 & alpha.

This means that we will not have to have a bpf and a non-bpf version
of our driver modules.
This does not open any security hole, because the bpf core isn't loadable
The drivers left unchanged are the "cross platform" drivers where the respective

declaration for the interface driver from "foo" to "if_foo" but leave the
declaration for the miibus attached to the interface driver alone. This
lets the internal module name be "if_foo" while still allowing the miibus
instances to attach to "foo."
This should allow ifconfig to autoload driver modules again without
breaking the miibus attach.
for the AN985 "Centaur" chip, which is apparently the next genetation
of the "Comet." The AN985 is also a tulip clone and is similar to the
AL981 except that it uses a 99C66 EEPROM and a serial MII interface
(instead of direct access to the PHY registers).
Also updated various documentation to mention the AN985 and created
a loadable module.
I don't think there are any cards that use this chip on the market yet:
the datasheet I got from ADMtek has boxes with big X's in them where the

submitter, who *still* hasn't bothered to answer me back.
The thing which the submitter completely failed to mention is that
his 3c900B-TPO card has the transceiver selection in the EEPROM set
to "auto." You can tweak the setting using the 3C90XCFG.EXE utility
that 3Com provides with the card. I'm not sure if it's supposed to
default to auto or if the user fiddled with it. Currently, the xl
driver only does autoselection for 10/100 NICs (i.e. those with NWAY
autonegotiation capabilities). For the 10baseT, 10base5, 10base2,
10baseFL and 100baseFX cards, the driver sets the default media to
whatever the EEPROM transceiver selector says. The problem is that
the "auto" selection is mistakenly identified as "10/100 NWAY
autoselection mode" and this is not handled correctly: the default
media ends up being chosen as 100baseTX, which doesn't work because
we've only added 10baseT media types to the ifmedia word. This leads
to a panic in ifmedia_set() (something else which the submitter never
bothered to mention).
A workaround for this is to re-run the 3C90XCFG.EXE utility and change
the transceiver selection to something besides "auto." I have also
patched the driver to watch for the "auto" setting in the non-miibus
case and select a reasonable default based on the card type instead of
falling through to 100baseTX and exploding.

This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:
- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:
if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo
This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
principle of least astonishment.
- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
drivers attached never get them.
In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.
strategy used in the 3Com Linux driver. The new strategy is to use transmit
descriptor polling -- that is, the NIC polls the descriptors to see when
new packets are available for transmission. The advantage to the new scheme
is that no register accesses are needed in the transmit routine. The old
scheme requires several register accesses to stall the TX engine, update the
TX DMA list pointer register, then unstall the TX engine. Hopefully the new
scheme will provide improved transmit performance with less CPU overhead.
This only affects the 3c90xB or 3c90xC cards, not the 3c90x cards. This
means the original 3c900 and 3c905 cards are unaffected. Newer cards include
the 3c900B series, the 3c905B, 3c980, 3c980B, 3c905C and 3c905C, and the
3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect.
close PR #13757, however I'm waiting on user feedback before declaring the
PR officially closed. Among other things, this improves UDP transmit
performance, and tx underruns are now detected and the TX start threshold
adjusted accordingly.

It's GPL'ed of course, but looking over it tonight I learned of Yet Another
Fast EtherLink XL Adapter: the 3c980C server adapter. This is basically
an updated version of the 3c980 that uses the Tornado ASIC instead of the
earlier Hurricane ASIC. The only change here is to add the new PCI device
ID (0x9805) and corresponding table entries.
