WaveLAN's radio modem. The default is whatever the NIC uses since NICs
sold in different countries may default to different frequencies. (The
Lose95/LoseNT software doesn't let you select the channel so it's probably
not really meant to be changed.)
- Change to the same transmit scheme as the PNIC driver.
- Dynamically set the cache alignment, and set burst size the same as
the PNIC driver in mx_init().
- Enable 'store and forward' mode by default. This is the slowest option
and it does reduce 100Mbps performance somewhat, but it's the most
reliable setting I can find. I'm more interested in having the driver
work reliably than trying to squeeze the best performance out of it.
The reason I'm doing this is that on *some* systems you may see a lot
of transmit underruns (which I can't explain: these are *fast* test
systems) and these errors seem to cause unusual and decidedly
non-tulip-like behavior. In normal 10Mbps mode, performance is fine
(you can easily saturate a 10Mbps link).
Also tweak some of the other drivers:
- Increase the size of the TX ring for the Winbond, ASIX, VIA Rhine
and PNIC drivers.
- Set a larger value for ifq_maxlen in the ThunderLAN driver. The setting
of TL_TX_LIST_CNT - 1 is too low (the ThunderLAN driver only allocates
20 transmit descriptors, and I don't want to fiddle with that now
because the ThunderLAN's descriptor structure is an oddball size
compared to the others).
for elf kernels (it is broken for all kernels due to lack of egcs support).
Renaming of many assembler labels is avoided by declaring by declaring
the labels that need to be visible to gprof as having type "function"
and depending on the elf version of gprof being zealous about discarding
the others. A few type declarations are still missing, mainly for SMP.

instead of just UDP; an alternate protocol is specified by '-P proto'.
This is useful for finding routers that are blocking packets based on
IP protocol. New handlers can be added fairly easily to do protocol-
specific things.
INIT_PATH config option.
Also fix two bugs which caused an infinite loop in none of the programs
in the init_path were found. That code was obviously not tested!
