setting the 'max packet size' register in window 3. This only
works for cards based on the cyclone or newer chipsets (i.e. it
won't work with the original 3c905/boomerang cards).
There is a trick which will work with the boomerang, which is to turn
on the 'large packets ok' bit in the MAC control register, however this
lets the chip accept any frame up to 4K in length, which is larger than
the mbuf cluster buffers we use to receive frames. If somebody sends us
such a frame and the chip DMAs it to us, it could write past the end
of the cluster buffer and clobber something.

A attacker sending a lot of bogus fragmented packets to the target
(with different IPv4 identification field - ip_id), may be able
to put the target machine into mbuf starvation state.
By setting a upper limit on the number of reassembly queues we
prevent this situation.
This upper limit is controlled by the new sysctl
net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets which defaults to NMBCLUSTERS/4
If you want old behaviour (no upper limit) set this sysctl
to a negative value.
If you don't want to accept any fragments (not recommended)
set the sysctl to 0 (zero)

gigabit ethernet controller chip. This device is used on some
fiber optic gigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported. Hardware VLAN
filtering is not, because it doesn't play well with our existing
VLAN code. Also add manual page.
There is a 4.x version of this driver available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Level1/4.x if anyone feels adventurous
and wants to test it. I still need to do performance testing and
tuning with this device.
(For my next trick, I will make the 3Com 3cR990 sit up and beg.)

this works on cs4630 chips, and should implement the clkrun hack for
thinkpads- this will display diagnostic messages when triggered until its
correctness is established.
The PCCard daemon can hang indefinately while reading its
configuration file. If the last line of the file is a comment line
that does not end in a newline, the program goes into an infinite
loop searching for the non-existent newline.
This fix, provided by the PR, will allow files ending without a newline
to be read without hanging.
