adapters. This is necessary in order to make this driver work with
the built-in ethernet on the alpha Miata machines. These systems
have a 21143-PC chip on-board and optional daughtercards with either
a 10/100 MII transceiver or a 10baseT/10base2 transceiver. In both
cases, you need to twiddle the GPIO bits on the controller in order
to turn the transceivers on, and you have to read the media info
from the SROM in order to find out what bits to twiddle.
workalike chips (Macronix 98713A/98715 and PNIC II). Timing is somewhat
critical: you need to bring the link as soon as possible after NWAY
is done, and the old one second polling interval was too long. Now
we poll every 10th of a second until NWAY completes (at which point
we return to the 1 second interval again to keep an eye on the link
state).
I tested all the other cards I had on hand to make sure I didn't bust
any of them and they seem to work (including the MII-based 21143 card).
This should fix some autoneg problems with DE500-BA cards and the
built-in 10/100 ethernet on some alpha systems.
(Now before anyone asks why I never noticed this before, the old code
worked just find with the Intel swich I used for testing back in NY.
Apparently not all switches are as picky about the timing.)

a PHY who's model number happens out to be 0.

* Re-implement the method dispatch to improve efficiency. The new system
takes about 40ns for a method dispatch on a 300Mhz PII which is only
10ns slower than a direct function call on the same hardware.
This changes the new-bus ABI slightly so make sure you re-compile any
driver modules which you use.
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
- Add a flag DC_TX_INTR_ALWAYS which causes the transmit code to
request a TX done interrupt for every packet. The PNIC seems to need
this to insure that the sent TX buffers get reaped in a timely fashion.
- Try to unreset the SIA as soon as possible after resetting the whole
chip.
- Change dcphy to support either 10/100 or 10Mbps only NICs. The
built-in 21143 ethernet in Compaq Presario machines is 10Mbps only
and it doesn't work right if we try to advertise 100Mbps modes during
autoneg. When restricted to only 10mbps modes, it works fine.
Note that for now, I detect this condition by checking the PCI
subsystem ID on this NIC (which has a Compaq vendor/device ID).
Yes, I know that's what the SROM is supposed to be for. I'm deliberately
ignoring the SROM wherever possible. Sue me.
The latter two fixes allow if_dc to work correctly with the built-in
ethernet on certain Compaq Presario boxes. There are liable to be quite
a few people using these as their home systems who might want to try
FreeBSD; may as well be nice to them.
Now if anybody out there has an Alpha miata with 10Mbps ethernet and
can show me the output from pciconf -l on their system, I'd be grateful.
which it replaces. The new driver supports all of the chips supported
by the ones it replaces, as well as many DEC/Intel 21143 10/100 cards.
This also completes my quest to convert things to miibus and add
Alpha support.
device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

In order to make this work, I created a pseudo-PHY driver to deal with
Macronix chips that use the built-in NWAY support and symbol mode port.
This is actually all of them, with the exception of the original MX98713
which presents its NWAY support via the MII serial interface.
The mxphy driver actually manipulates the controller registers directly
rather than using the miibus_readreg()/miibus_writereg() bus interface
since there are no MII registers to read. The mx driver itself pretends
that the NWAY interface is a PHY locayed at MII address 31 for the sole
purpose of allowing the mxphy_probe() routine to know when it needs to
attach to a host controller.
this PHY and the Davicom DM9101 have exactly the same register definitions.
One of them is probably a clone of the other. I'm not sure which.
This is needed for the Davicom DM9102 10/100 PCI ethernet driver which
will be committed shortly.
ones were made by Lucent). The Broadcom chip also appears to use an
internal PHY made by Broadcom which uses the Broadcom OUI. This is different
from previous ASICs which always returned 0 in the PHY ID registers.
To account for this, I added the necessary ID values for the Broadcom
PHY so that it can be detected and attached using the 3Com PHY driver
instead of defaulting to the generic one.
ML6692 PHY. The Micro Linear driver is my own; the ThunderLAN driver is
a port of the NetBSD driver with various hacks. The ML driver is necessary
to support the Olicom OC-2326 ThunderLAN-based NIC.
Also regenerated miidevs.h to pick up the proper 'obtained from'
revision string.
MII-compliant PHY drivers. Many 10/100 ethernet NICs available today
either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can
be programmed using an MII interface. It makes sense then to separate
this support out into common code instead of duplicating it in all
of the NIC drivers. The mii code also handles all of the media
detection, selection and reporting via the ifmedia interface.
This is basically the same code from NetBSD's /sys/dev/mii, except
it's been adapted to FreeBSD's bus architecture. The advantage to this
is that it automatically allows everything to be turned into a
loadable module. There are some common functions for use in drivers
once an miibus has been attached (mii_mediachg(), mii_pollstat(),
mii_tick()) as well as individual PHY drivers. There is also a
generic driver for all PHYs that aren't handled by a specific driver.
It's possible to do this because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same
general register set in addition to their vendor-specific register
sets, so for the most part you can use one driver for pretty much
any PHY. There are a couple of oddball exceptions though, hence
the need to have specific drivers.
There are two layers: the generic "miibus" layer and the PHY driver
layer. The drivers are child devices of "miibus" and the "miibus" is
a child of a given NIC driver. The "miibus" code and the PHY drivers
can actually be compiled and kldoaded as completely separate modules
or compiled together into one module. For the moment I'm using the
latter approach since the code is relatively small.
Currently there are only three PHY drivers here: the generic driver,
the built-in 3Com XL driver and the NS DP83840 driver. I'll be adding
others later as I convert various NIC drivers to use this code.
I realize that I'm cvs adding this stuff instead of importing it
onto a separate vendor branch, but in my opinion the import approach
doesn't really offer any significant advantage: I'm going to be
maintaining this stuff and writing my own PHY drivers one way or
the other.
