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.)
systems were repo-copied from sys/miscfs to sys/fs.
- Renamed the following file systems and their modules:
fdesc -> fdescfs, portal -> portalfs, union -> unionfs.
- Renamed corresponding kernel options:
FDESC -> FDESCFS, PORTAL -> PORTALFS, UNION -> UNIONFS.
- Install header files for the above file systems.
- Removed bogus -I${.CURDIR}/../../sys CFLAGS from userland
Makefiles.

copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with
this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.
This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.
This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.
This driver supports PCI Xr-based and ISA Xem Digiboard cards.
dgm will go away soon if there are no problems reported. For now,
configuring dgm into your kernel warns that you should be using
digi. This driver is probably close to supporting Xi, Xe and Xeve
cards, but I wouldn't expect them to work properly (hardware
donations welcome).
The digi_* pseudo-drivers are not drivers themselves but contain
the BIOS and FEP/OS binaries for various digiboard cards and are
auto-loaded and auto-unloaded by the digi driver at initialisation
time. They *may* be configured into the kernel, but waste a lot
of space if they are. They're intended to be left as modules.
The digictl program is (mainly) used to re-initialise cards that
have external port modules attached such as the PC/Xem.
the video switch by another. Exactly as VESA does on top of VGA.
It adds linear framebuffer to S3 VESA 1.2 cards.

Add detach routine and turn driver into a module so it can be loaded
and unloaded. Also take a stab at implementing multicast packet
reception so that this NIC will work with IPv6. Promiscuous mode
doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure why. It works well enough that
I can run dhclient on it and put it on the office network though.
Also ripped out spl stuff and replaced it with mutexes.
now in dirs called sys/*/random/ instead of sys/*/randomdev/*.
Introduce blocking, but only at startup; the random device will
block until the first reseed happens to prevent clients from
using untrustworthy output.
Provide a read_random() call for the rest of the kernel so that
the entropy device does not need to be present. This means that
things like IPX no longer need to have "device random" hardcoded
into thir kernel config. The downside is that read_random() will
provide very poor output until the entropy device is loaded and
reseeded. It is recommended that developers do NOT use the
read_random() call; instead, they should use arc4random() which
internally uses read_random().
Clean up the mutex and locking code a bit; this makes it possible
to unload the module again.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
This provides support for the Adaptec SCSI RAID controller family,
as well as the DPT SmartRAID V and VI families.
The driver will be maintained by Mark and Adaptec, and any changes
should be referred to the MAINTAINER.
shouldn't be built by default. pcic and pccard are going to go
through some changes and I'll not be testing them on the alpha so I
don't want to break them for the FreeBSD/alpha folks.
