be a permanent rule, because this device may eventually be deemed
"effectively compulsory", and built by default directly into the
kernel. For the moment, however, this is useful for debugging and
development.

accept filters are now loadable as well as able to be compiled into
the kernel.
two accept filters are provided, one that returns sockets when data
arrives the other when an http request is completed (doesn't work
with 0.9 requests)

This should allow one to load oldcard or newcard for testing. Please
let me know if this doesn't work. Don't load this and either of pcic
or pccard. I've not tried it, but I suspect bad things will happen.
2. Newbusify the driver.
3. Build as a module.
4. Use correct minor numbers when creating device files.
5. Correctly lock control characters.
6. Return ENXIO when device not configured.

Note:
- the old driver still lives in src/sys/i386/isa, so that you can
revert to it if something goes wrong.
- The module does not detach very well. Attaching works fine.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.
are two supported chips, the NetChip 1080 (only prototypes available)
and the EzLink cable. Any other cable should be supported however as they
are all very much alike (there is a difference between them wrt
performance).
It uses Netgraph.
This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.
- Break out the support for the XMAC II's PHY into an miibus driver.
- Reorganize the probe/attach stuff using newbus. Each XMAC is now
attached to the parent GEnesis controller using newbus. This is
necessary since each XMAC must also have an attached miibus, and
the miibus read/write register routines need to be able to get
at the softc struct for each XMAC, not the one for the parent
controller. This allows me to get rid of the grotty code I added
for selecting the unit numbers for the ifnet interfaces: the unit
numbers are now derived from the newbus-assigned unit numbers,
which should track with the ifnet interface numbers. I think.
At the very least, there should never be any collisions.
- Add support for the SK-9821 and SK-9822 1000baseTX adapters. Special
thanks to SysKonnect for loaning me two adapters for testing.
