network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

blown over by the Hurricane and had a house dropped on you by the Tornado.
Now it's time to have your parade rained on by... the Typhoon!
This commit adds driver support for 3Com 3cR990 10/100 ethernet
adapters based on the Typhoon I and Typhoon II chipsets. This is actually
a port of the OpenBSD driver with many hacks by me.
No Virginia, there isn't any support for the hardware crypto yet. However
there is support for TCP/IP checksum offload and VLANs.
Special thanks go to Jason Wright, Aaron Campbell and Theo de Raadt for
squeezing enough info out of 3Com to get this written, and for doing
most of the hard work.
Manual page is included. Compiled as a module and included in GENERIC.
