on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT,
/sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT
accordingly.
For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)
FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).
-add "depends" to list of recursive targets
-consistent capitilization of FreeBSD.ORG
-remove description of PATCH_DEBUG
-add .Xr to portcheckout(1) and pib(1)
ISDN4BSD is the work of our brand-new comitter: Hellmuth Michaelis,
who has done a tremendous amount of work to bring us this far.
There are still some outstanding issues and files to bring into
the tree, and for now it will be needed to pick up all the extra
docs from the isdn4bsd release.
It is probably also a very good idea to subscribe to the isdn@freebsd.org
mailing list before you try this out.
These files correspond to release "beta Version 0.70.00 / December
1998" from Hellmuth.
- Get the (tm) signal correct in nroff versions
- Correct highlighting (docs/9196)
Sigh. This is still a long way from being correct. In particular,
the states are both incorrect, and they don't format properly in
troff. But it will have to wait until I stop changing the meanings of
the states.
hacker -> intruder (couldn't desired between this and 'cracker')
config -> configuration
sorted crossreferences
spell checked
Overall very good content, but we need one of our wordsmiths to change the
tone to match the CSRG manpages.
corelate
corelated
corelation
corelative
corelatively
My Random-House dictionary doesn't list them, and grog says (paraphrased):
SOED only accepts 'corelate's, and it just notes corelate as an
alternative (and obviously not exactly mainstream) spelling for
correlate.
(yes these spellings tripped me)
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.
Submitted by: billf
(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.
