cards. This basically involves switching to the 12.4.13 firmware, plus
a couple of minor tweaks to the driver.
Also changed the jumbo buffer allocation scheme just a little to avoid
'failed to allocate jumbo buffer' conditions in certain cases.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.
This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

3.3volt PCI/cardbus chipsets similar to the 98715 (and they have
512-bit hash tables). Also update the man page to mention the 98727/98732
and the SOHOware SFA110A Rev B4 card with the 98715AEC-C chip.
* Clear the Os macro, which is assumed gracefully at run-off time.
* Use quotes to reduce the long name description (Nd) to a single
argument.
* Use meaningful arguments to the -width option of the Bl macro.
* Mark rc.conf up with Xr instead of Pa so that it is obvious that
further help on that file is available.
* Explicitly indicate that mediaopt is a command modifier (Cm) of
the ifconfig(8) utility.
* Do not mark up half-duplex and full-duplex as arguments (Ar),
since they are allowed values for an argument.
* Fix various grammar and spelling mistakes.
controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).
I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.
diagnostic lists (Bl -diag) so that there is one per section.
Since this change creates a large delta, enforce line-breaking
style while I'm here.
These changes have blanket approval from (but were not reviewed
by) the author.
