queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

if_watchdog and if_timer. The driver already contained an optional stats
timer that individual attachments could use to provide a 'tick' event. The
stats timer only ran if the tick function pointer was non-NULL and the
attachment's tick routine had to call callout_reset(), etc. Now the driver
always schedules a stat timer and manages the callout_reset() internally.
This timer is used to drive the watchdog and will also call the attachment's
'tick' handler if one is provided.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

NULL or change it. We initialize it before we set if_ioctl. It can
therefore never be NULL, and most other drivers don't bother with this

working. It works for both the DL10019 and DL10022 based cards that I
have. It really helps the DL10019 cards, since they were using 8k
instead of the normal 16k that regular NE-2000 cards help.

DP8390-based cards have no generic way of reporting status of the link
or setting the media type. Some specific versions of these cards do,
however, allow for this, and we already support some of them. Make
the 'ed' experience more uniform by providing "autoselect" as the
meida and status "active" always. This won't affect the chips that
provide more specific details.
The DIROUT bit difference between the 19 and 22 is annoying. We can
set both bits on both parts without ill effect. Use this trick to
simplify the code.
The DELAYS in the MII bus bit-bang code for the DL100xx parts aren't

packet data. However, the AX88190A moves this on-chip and reduces it
to the more traditional 16k from 16k-32k. The AX88790 follows the
'190A. Probe memory above 32k to see which flavor of the '190 we have
and use the extra memory if we have it.
Eliminate the kludgy read eeprom for the ID code. It really is just a

code easier to understand as well as eliminates some magic numbers.

PC Cards that use the Axis AX88190 or DLink DL10019 and DL10022 chips.
Forcing the autonegotiation doesn't seem to cause problems on the
cards that have sane PHYs, but makes several cards I have work without
further workarounds.
I'm not 100% sure that kicking the PHY and resetting them is the right
thing to do on the media change callback. Other NICs seem to need
this and do similar things.
o Don't run through the register initialization in the read mac routine
for the AX88x90. It duplicates other stuff that we do.
o Eliminate the 10ms delay after we reset the AX88x90. We already wait for
the appropriate bits to indicate reset is done.
don't have one of the clock cycles (the turn cycle) that the AX88x90
chips have. Make this conditional. But this seems totally crazy and
can't possibly be right. Commit the fix for the moment until I can
explore this mystery more deeply.
On the plus side, the DL10022-based cards I have (D-Link DEF-670TXD
and SMC8040TX) work after this fix.
o Introduce new chip_type AX88790. There's a few places we need to know the
exact chip for workaronds.
o Explain the AX88190 workaround for the ISR bits being stuck, and don't
apply them to the AX88790. The datasheet says the bits are fixed, and
experience confirms.
o Fix mii bit-bang read code to read and discard the 'floating' bit.
o Remove empty ed_pccard_ax88x90_mii_reset routine
o Report error from mii_phy_probe
o Don't use ed_probe_Novel_generic for ax88x90 chips. It puts them into
an odd state sometimes. Instead, use a more stream-lined version that
avoids the trouble spots. This was copied and tweaked from the original.
o Move chip reset into its own routine.
o Minor code optimiation on getting MAC address
o Add code for coping with AX88790 cards that are in power down state and
need to be kicked before the PHY registers for the internal phy read right.
o Remove ugly cap of PHYs at 17.
o For AX88790, we need to set a special bit for accessig phy 16 (the internal
phy) and clear it for all others according to a chip erratum.
o streamline the bit-bang code for AX88x90: the delays aren't needed according
to the datasheet timing diagrams and also the Linux driver
o Fix minor bit definition for direction bit.

Toshiba PCETC ISA card, and even has the same board type code in the
card ID (0x14). So, for this card, call ed_probe_WD80x3_generic after
setting things up apropriately. This makes the card attach and kinda
work (I'm seeing panics in sbdrop). Since history has shown that the
WD80x3 probe routine is dangerous, only do it for this card. Also,
disable the memory range check to make sure it is an valid ISA memory.
I think that it is bogus, but I'm not 100% sure, for these cards.
I removed probing for the WD80x3 in 2005 when I added support for the
AX88x90 and DL100xx cards since none of my cards had ever matched it
and PAO3 removed it and none of the cards in their database died.
It is possible there are other quirks about this card too, since no
other open source OS supports it, or even claims to support it. But
it was a fun half hour hack...

Add stub entries for Mitsubishi B8895 and Toshiba LANCT00A to the
driver with a comment that they don't work /* NG */.[*] These are
DP83902A based cards, which should work, but don't seem to. Likely
they are from the days before the ne2000 roamed the earth and use a
non-standard hookup (see if_ed_isa or if_ed_cbus for some examples).
Unless I happen to stumble into the right one, these may never work,
but I'm tired of omitting them from commits.

opposite.
