e945f65af7 Dangit... made a typo in the NEXPTR register definition (0x55 -> 0x45). 1999-02-23 02:00:06 +00:00

4bfc6cc972 Minor updates for the ASIX AX88141, which is a newer version of the
AX88140A with power management and magic packet support. Correct the
addresses of the PCI power management registers and add some code to
detect the revision ID of the AX88141 and identify it in the probe
messages.

No other changes are needed since the AX88141 is functionally
identical to the AX88140A.

1851594ca0 Remove the code that manually pads frames to at least 60 bytes;
the ASIX chip supports auto-padding.

31188d61c1 Add driver support (and man page) for PCI fast ethernet cards based
on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT,
/sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT
accordingly.

For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)

FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.

Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).
