- probe for PHYs by checking the BMSR (phy status) register instead
of the vendor ID register.
- fix the autonegotiation routine so that it figures out the autonegotiated
modes correctly.
- add tweaks to support the Olicom OC-2326 now that I've actually had
a chance to test one
o Olicom appears to encode the ethernet address in the EEPROM
in 16-bit chunks in network byte order. If we detect an
Olicom card (based on the PCI vendor ID), byte-swap the station
address accordingly.
XXX The Linux driver does not do this. I find this odd since
the README from the Linux driver indicates that patches to
support the Olicom cards came from somebody at Olicom; you'd
think if anyone would get that right, it'd be them. Regardless,
I accepted the word of the disgnoatic program that came bundled
with the card as gospel and fixed the attach routine to make
the station address match what it says.
o The version of the 2326 card that I got for testing is a
strange beast: the card does not look like the picture on
the box in which it was packed. For one thing, the picture
shows what looks like an external NS 83840A PHY, but the
actual card doesn't have one. The card has a TNETE100APCM
chip, which appears to have not only the usual internal
tlan 10Mbps PHY at MII address 32, but also a 10/100 PHY
at MII address 0. Curiously, this PHY's vendor and device ID
registers always return 0x0000. I suspect that this is
a mutant version of the ThunderLAN chip with 100Mbps support.
This combination behaves a little strangely and required the
following changes:
- The internal PHY has to be enabled in tl_softreset().
- The internal PHY doesn't seem to come to life after
detecting the 100Mbps PHY unless it's reset twice.
- If you want to use 100Mbps modes, you have to isolate
the internal PHY.
- If you want to use 10Mbps modes, you have to un-isolate
the internal PHY.
The latter two changes are handled at the end of tl_init(): if
the PHY vendor ID is 0x0000 (which should not be possible if we
have a real external PHY), then tl_init() forces the internal
PHY's BMCR register to the proper values.

resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]

writes of size (100,208]+N*MCLBYTES.
The bug:
sosend() hands each mbuf off to the protocol output routine as soon as it
has copied it, in the hopes of increasing parallelism (see
http://www.kohala.com/~rstevens/vanj.88jul20.txt ). This works well for
TCP as long as the first mbuf handed off is at least the MSS. However,
when doing small writes (between MHLEN and MINCLSIZE), the transaction is
split into 2 small MBUF's and each is individually handed off to TCP.
TCP assumes that the first small mbuf is the whole transaction, so sends
a small packet. When the second small mbuf arrives, Nagle prevents TCP
from sending it so it must wait for a (potentially delayed) ACK. This
sends throughput down the toilet.
The workaround:
Set the "atomic" flag when we're doing small writes. The "atomic" flag
has two meanings:
1. Copy all of the data into a chain of mbufs before handing off to the
protocol.
2. Leave room for a datagram header in said mbuf chain.
TCP wants the first but doesn't want the second. However, the second
simply results in some memory wastage (but is why the workaround is a
hack and not a fix).
The real fix:
The real fix for this problem is to introduce something like a "requested
transfer size" variable in the socket->protocol interface. sosend()
would then accumulate an mbuf chain until it exceeded the "requested
transfer size". TCP could set it to the TCP MSS (note that the
current interface causes strange TCP behaviors when the MSS > MCLBYTES;
nobody notices because MCLBYTES > ethernet's MTU).

Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected

code. Apart from the first one, none really affect typical configurations
but are nevertheless unnecessary limitations. We use netbooted PCs as
student X-terminals and all of the below fixes have been useful. Apologies
for including them all in one PR, but some are just too silly or trivial
to send on their own!
a) Newer SMC cards have hardware addresses starting with 00:E0.
Netboot compares the MAC address with 00:00:C0 to determine
if it is a WD/SMC card, so it fails to detect these.
b) Netboot is unable to boot kzipped kernels, as it assumes that
the kernel load address is 0x100000.
c) Users can abort the booting process and enter arbitrary network
addresses, or boot from a floppy disk. This can be a problem when
netbooted machines are used in a student environment.
d) It is not possible to set all options via bootp. For example there
is no way to remotely force a client to boot from disk. With both
SECURE_BOOT(patch below) and NO_TFTP defined, short of unplugging
the eprom there is no way at all to get the client to boot locally.
A generic solution is to allow complete netboot commands to be sent
using bootp lines such as:
:T132="diskboot":
e) The last character of netboot command names is not checked. You
can type 'iz 10.0.0.1' and it will be interpreted as 'ip'. This
is only important if you try to add a new command which is the
same as an existing one except for the last character.
f) We have a configuration where multiple servers are willing to serve
a diskless client. The tftp config file, or the bootptab entry on
each server must specify the root and swap filesystems as 'ip:/fs'
even though 'ip' will usually be the responding server's IP address.
It would be nice if netboot could automatically prepend the server's
IP address to an entry specified as just '/fs', so that multiple
servers can use the same tftp or bootp configuration files. Admittedly
this is hardly a major problem!

also, because NFS_ROOT is used by very different files, it has been
renamed to opt_nfsroot.h instead of the old opt_nfs.h....
data fifo is full, but the PCI input latch is not empty,
HDMAEN cannot be cleared. The fix used here is to attempt
to drain the data fifo until there is space for the input
latch to drain and HDMAEN de-asserts.
This is a 1 instruction fix, so it should have no performance
impact.
