17c8ebb447 Note the addition of nsswitch support, recently merged from NetBSD. 2000-09-06 19:36:39 +00:00
Jacques Vidrine
248aee623c Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can 
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.

= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).

= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
  functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).

= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
    . getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
    . getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
    . getusershell
    . getaddrinfo
    . gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
    . getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
    . getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr

= host.conf has been removed from src/etc.  rc.network has been modified
  to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time.  In addition, if
  there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
  time from the former.

    colorized ls.

4.  In Ethernet section, do:

95674596b9 Add support for the National Semiconductor DP83815 fast ethernet 
controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).

I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).

I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
