stability now. ALso modify /sys/conf/files, /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
and /sys/i386/conf/LINT to add entries for the XL driver. Deactivate
support for the XL adapters in the vortex driver. LAstly, add a man
page.
(Also added an MLINKS entry for the ThunderLAN man page which I forgot
previously.)
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.
previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
abominable multi_kludge. Update all network interfaces to use the
new machanism. Distressingly few Ethernet drivers program the multicast
filter properly (assuming the hardware has one, which it usually does).
1. 'connector_table' is shortened to 'conn_tab'.
2. More reliable connector change code.
3. Display message like "vx0: selected bnc. (link1)"
when the connector changed by link[012].
4. Handle MII properly.
5. Potentially slightly better performance.
6. Fixed a silly typo.

3COM 3C590 Etherlink III PCI,
3COM 3C595 Fast Etherlink PCI,
3COM 3C592 Etherlink III EISA,
3COM 3C590 Fast Etherlink EISA,
3COM 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI and
3COM 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI.
This driver is based on OpenBSD's driver. I modified it to run under FreeBSd
and made it actually work usefully.
Afterwards, nao@tom-yam.or.jp (HAMADA Naoki) added EISA support as well as
early support for 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI and 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI.
He also split up the driver in a bus independant and bus dependant parts.
Especially the 3c59X support should be pretty stable now.
