written by Stuart Walsh and Duncan Barclay (with some kibbitzing by
me). I'm checking it in on Stuart's behalf.
The BCM4401 is built into several x86 laptop and desktop systems. For the
moment, I have only enabled it in the x86 kernel config because although
it's a PCI device, I haven't heard of any standalone NICs that use it. If
somebody knows of one, we can easily add it to the other arches.
This driver uses register/structure data gleaned from the Linux
driver released by Broadcom, but does not contain any of the code
from the Linux driver itself. It uses busdma.
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
These are 10/100 only NICs found on the IBM Thinkpad R40E and
G40. These seem to be based on the BCM5705 MAC but with a PHY
that doesn't support 1000Mbps modes.

- 5705 doesn't support jumbo frames
- Statistics must be read from registers
- RX return ring must be capped at 512 entries
- Omit initialization of certain device blocks
- Acknowledge link change interrupts by setting the 'link changed'
bit in the status register (used to have no effect)
- Remember to toggle the MI completion bit too
- Set the mbuf low watermark differently (on-chip memory buffers,
not BSD mbufs)
- Don't enable Ethernet@WireSpeed feature for certain 5705 chip revs
- Add additional PCI IDs for 5705 and 5782 parts
- Add a forgotten 5704 PCI ID
Most changes ripped kicking and screaming from the Broadcom linux driver.
Thanks to Paul Saab for sanity testing. (My lack of sanity has been

patch workarounds for each phy revision.
Obtained from: NetBSD & Broadcom Linux driver
- Disable AUTOPOLL when accessing the PHY as it may cause PCI errors.
Obtained from: NetBSD
- Check the UPDATED bit in the status block so the driver knows
that the status block as indeed changed since the last access.
Broadcom documentation states drivers should unset the UPDATED/CHANGED
bits after reading them.
- When changing media types, first loop the phy then set the media.
Broadcom documentation and Linux drivers do this and I observed
much better handling of link after this change.
- Broadcom documentation states that for 1000BaseT operation,
autonegotiation must be enabled. Fix hard coding of media so that
the driver only advertises 1000BaseT as the supported media type
and enable autonegotition.
- Only set Master/Slave on the 5701.

If people try this with their xl cards and decide that it's a better choice,
we can switch this later.

Also do IFM_INST verification at the top of *_service() then doing it
separately for every case in switch.

Rename mii_phy_auto_stop() mii_phy_down().
Introduce mii_down(), use it from nge. Do not indirect it to 19 identical
case's in 19 switchstatements like NetBSD did.
Rev 1.56 of if_dc.c removed calls to mii_pollstat() from the dc_tick()
routine. dc_tick() is called regularly to detect link up and link down
status, especially when autonegotiating.
The expectation was that mii_tick() (which is still called from dc_tick())
would update status information automatically in all cases where it would
be sensible to do so.
Unfortunately, with authentic 21143 chips this is not the case, and
the driver never successfully autonegotiates. This is because (despite
what it says in the 21143 manual) the chip always claims that link is not
present while the autonegotiation enable bit is set. Autonegotation takes
place and succeeds, but the driver tests the link bits before it switches
off the autonegotiation enable bit, and success is not recognised.
The simplest solution is to call dcphy_status() more often for MII_TICK
calls by dropping out of the switch statement instead of exiting when
we are autonegotiating and link appears to not be present. When
autonegotiation succeeds, dcphy_status() will note the speed and fdx/hdx
state and turn off the autonegotiation enable bit. The next call to
dcphy_status() will notice that link is present, and the dc driver code
will be notified.
Macronix chips also use this code, but implement link detection as
described in the manual, and hence don't need this patch. However, tests
on a Macronix 98715AEC-C show that it does not adversely affect them.
This could be done better but is the minimal effective change, and most
closely mimics what was happening prior to rev 1.56 of if_dc.c. (Actually
I also deleted a small amount of unnecessary code while I was in the area.)

doesn't support NWAY, the RealTek PHY (both the integrated ones on 8139
chips and the RTL8201L 10/100 PHY) will not report the link speed via
the ANLPAR or BMSR registers. For the 8201L, we need to look in magic
vendor-specific PHY register 0x19. For the 8139 MAC+PHY combo, we have
to be able to test the RL_MEDIASTAT register.
The changes to rlphy.c are based largely on the patch from PR 30836,
however I tried to eliminate some magic numbers by creating an entry
for the 8201 PHY in miidevs.
Also updated if_rl.c to allow the rlphy driver to read the RL_MEDIASTAT
register via the rl_miibus_readreg() routine.
