the first place was so that BPF could grok trailer packets. I've since
decided that this is a job for tcpdump to decipher (if at all). Also
fixed up checks for received packet length to better cope with ancient
starlan boards.

WARNING: might hide some bug below! I commit this to improve the stability
of 2.0.

I have been running a kernel with this change since October 4th; barring
unrelated network router troubles, the pitiful little machine has
completed several builds without any interaction from me, and continues
to chug along.
I re-read wd.c, and added appropriate printfs() to look for references
to dk_badsect[]. My changes should have printed something when dk_badsect[]
was referenced.
I got no output :-(
Thus, I'm forced to concluded that something else is examining some
spurious memory... which happened to be in dk_badsect[] of the disk structure
in wd.c. I can find no other explanation of why this unnecessary
initialization causes things to operate correctly.
On the premise that such an initialization isn't going to hurt anything,
I'm going to suggest it go into 2.0.
I'd like to thank everyone for there assistance, particularly David,
John and Bruce.

New AMD family ethernet driver. Should support BICC,NE2100, TNIC,
AT1500 and anything else that uses a Lance/PCnet type chip. Only been
tested with the BICC so far though.
Still work to do on performance and MULTICAST support needs to be added
but it's basically working and I want the revision history from this
point on

improvements from 1.1.5.1. I tried to compile a kernel without BOUNCE_BUFFERS
with the previous version for my Bt946c and it puked and died. Bringing
these enhancements back in allows the faster controllers to DTRT while
still not messing up the older ISA/broken VLB controllers, since
bounce-buffering is still the default. In theory, anyway. Bt445S and Bt545S
folks should start testing this ASAP! (actually, Bt445C and Bt545C folks
even more so!).
This is needed for having the fdformat program no longer searching
non-public include paths.
Protect the definitions in fdreg.h against double inclusion.
more work required to grab all fonts
2)Make standard VGA font as default, make HARDFONTS an option
(load iso8859 fonts instead)
3)Check fonts_loaded for all restore (copy_font...palette)
sequences.
have got the following:
Back out the changes in the previous revision. Function-like macros
were replaced by compound statements that work in less contexts.
Unoformize idempotency #ifdef.
Restore the simple leap year calculation as a macro and document it so
that it doesn't become complicated again. The simple version works
for all leap years covered by 32-bit time_t's. The complicated version
doesn't work for all leap years covered by 64-bit time_t's since among
other reasons, the solar system is not stable for long enough.
Fix declarations.
Nuke spinwait().
