It seems RTL8169/RTL8168/RTL810xE has a kind of interrupt
moderation mechanism but it is not documented at all. The magic
value dramatically reduced number of interrupts without noticeable
performance drops so apply it to all RTL8169/RTL8169 controllers.
Vendor's FreeBSD driver also applies it to RTL810xE controllers but
their Linux driver explicitly cleared the register, so do not
enable interrupt moderation for RTL810xE controllers.
While I'm here sort 8169 specific registers.

There were a couple of attempts in the past to reduce it since it
took more than 1ms. Because mii_tick() periodically polls link
status, waiting more than 1ms for each GMII register access was
overkill. Unfortunately all previous attempts were failed with
various ways on different controllers.
This time, add additional 20us dealy at the end of GMII register
access which seems to requirement of all RealTek controllers to
issue next GMII register access request. This is the same way what
Linux does.
controllers. sk(4) never reprogrammed station address for Yukon
controllers so overriding station address with ifconfig(8) was not
possible.
Fix the bug by reprogramming all registers that control station
address, flow-control and virtual station address. Virtual station
address has no use at this moment since driver does not make use of
fail over feature.

the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag set, default to NONE for all drivers. Only if
a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.
After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

copied as a template for _SRS, a string pointer for descriptor name is also
copied and it becomes stale as soon as it gets de-allocated[2]. Now _CRS is
used as a template for _SRS as ACPI specification suggests if it is usable.
The template from _PRS is still utilized but only when _CRS is not available
or broken. To avoid use-after-free the problem in this case, however, only
mandatory fields are copied, optional data is removed, and structure length
is adjusted accordingly.

useful counters like rl_missed_pkts is 16 bits quantity which is
too small to hold meaningful information happened in a second. This
means driver should frequently read these counters in order not to
lose accuracy and that approach is too inefficient in driver's
view. Moreover it seems there is no way to trigger an interrupt to
detect counter near-full or wraparound event as well as lacking
clearing the MAC counters. Another limitation of reading the
counters from RealTek controllers is lack of interrupt firing at
the end of DMA cycle of MAC counter read request such that driver
have to poll the end of the DMA which is a time consuming process
as well as inefficient. The more severe issue of the MAC counter
read request is it takes too long to complete the DMA. All these
limitation made maintaining MAC counters in driver impractical. For
now, just provide simple sysctl interface to trigger reading the
MAC counters. These counters could be used to track down driver
issues. Users can read MAC counters maintained in controller with
the following command.
#sysctl dev.re.0.stats=1

the dual port BCM5717 and BCM5718 devices which are intended for
mainstream workstation and entry-level server designs and
represents the twelfth generation of NetXtreme Ethernet controllers.
This family is the successor to the BCM5714/BCM5715 family and
supports IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloading, TSO, VLAN hardware tagging,
jumbo frames, MSI/MSIX, IOV, RSS and TSS.
This change set supports all hardware features except IOV and
RSS/TSS. Unlike its predecessors, only extended RX buffer
descriptors can be posted to the jumbo producer ring. Single RX
buffer descriptors for jumbo frame are not supported. RSS requires
a more substantial set of changes and will apply to a larger set
of NetXtreme devices so RSS/TSS multi-queue support will be
implemented in a future releases.

'hw.acpi.remove_interface'. hw.acpi.install_interface lets you install new

interfaces from the pre-defined list in ACPICA. For example,
hw.acpi.install_interface="FreeBSD"
lets _OSI("FreeBSD") method to return 0xffffffff (or success) and
hw.acpi.remove_interface="Windows 2009"
lets _OSI("Windows 2009") method to return zero (or failure). Both are

the following examples are valid:

use big-endian MMIO, reading them with 1- and 2-byte reads would then
return the wrong values. Instead, read the combined register with a 4-byte
read and mask out the interesting quantities.
