ethernet driver.
The BUGS section is still impressive, but the driver seems to work for
me now. Disclaimer: i haven't been able to test this under -current
so far (but it compiles, and the notebook it's intended for can now be
updated to -current more easy than before). Don't be afraid of the
many #ifdefs on __FreeBSD_version in the imported file; i want them in
the repository on the vendor-branch so other people can also manually
integrate it into older systems. I'll clean it up on the -current
branch in a followup commit. The vendor-banch version right now
supports systems back to 2.2R.
This driver should be layered upon ppc(4), but i currently have no
idea how to do this.
Eventually i'll further develop the driver to also support the more
modern RTL 8012 success, which seems to be present in a number of
cheap pocket ethernet adapters these days. Right now, i doubt it will
run with the 8012 without any changes.
Finally a big Thanks! to RealTek for promptly providing me with
documentation and with the source code for the 8012 pocket driver upon
request. I wish all vendors were that cooperative!.
mechanisms. It is a little light on detail but still a pretty good
overview. I suggest that for specific detail (such as, for example,
how to setup kerberos), that additional security-DETAILNAME man pages
be written and refered to.
don't recurse in "make describe". The new INDEX target in
ports/Makefile invokes a perl script to recurse and convert them
into package names.
While I'm here, change the name of targets and move them around a
little bit for the sake of consistency.
It is also probably worth noting here that the meaning of the
"build dependency" list in INDEX has been changed slightly
changed. The old list was "build depends and its build depends"
-- not particularly useful if you had things like autoconf, which
run-depend on gm4 (you install all the things listed here and
you'll get an autoconf that won't run).
It is now "build depends and its run depends" -- you install
everything listed here, and you'll be able to build the port.

(0') Fast README.html generation. It uses ports/INDEX to find
dependencies instead of embarking on to a recursive loop.

(1) Remove NO_WRKDIR and NO_EXTRACT. Their functionality are easily
replacable with NO_WRKSUBDIR=t and EXTRACT_ONLY= (nothing on right
side), and they get in the way of read-only port trees.
(2) Surround first few variable definitions with ".if !defined()".
This will make cross-compilation easier and also speed up make
processes.
(3) Call sysctl with absolute path. Prefer the one in /sbin over the
one in /usr/sbin.
(4) Add four new variables
PKGINSTALL?= ${PKGDIR}/INSTALL
PKGDEINSTALL?= ${PKGDIR}/DEINSTALL
PKGREQ?= ${PKGDIR}/REQ
PKGMESSAGE?= ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE
and use them in PKG_ARGS. Frobbing with PKG_ARGS directly is
strongly discouraged.
(5) Change PKG_SUFX to ".tar" (instead of ".tgz") if PKG_NOCOMPRESS is
defined. This is intended only for our own use.
(6) Add more sites to MASTER_SITE_GNU.

(7) Override MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD if PARALLEL_PACKAGE_BUILD is
defined. This is intended only for our own use.
(8) Add new target "ignorelist" which will print out the package name
if the port is not going to be built on this machine. This is
intended only for our own use.
(9) Make mtree a little quieter.

Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards
that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI
device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't
really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
anyway.)
if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the
Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to
the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many
clones there are running around)
All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast
filtering.
Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and
sysinstall device list.
I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.
break one way or another. With it goes the package-loop and the
describe loop.
(2) Add new variable MASTERDIR to make it easier to share files between ports.
bsd.port.mk will find things like ${PKGDIR} underneath
${MASTERDIR} (which defaults to ${.CURDIR}).
(3) Do not allow MD5_FILE to be renamed. Funny things can happen if
you do that.
(4) Use a few more absolute paths in the bsd.port.pre.mk part. I
can't use absolute paths for sysctl because it moved recently.
