8f00b27bc3 Add support for still more cheapo 10/100 cards: Delta Electronics and
Addtron appear to have their own VIA Rhine II and RealTek 8139 boards
with custom PCI vendor and device IDs. This commit updates the PCI
vendor and device lists in the vr and rl drivers so that we can probe
the additional devices.

8d57d11ab2 Tweak the vr_start() and vr_rxeof() routines a little to improve
performance and reliability a little. There was a condition before
where transmission would stall during periods of heavy traffic
exchange between two hosts. Also set the 'want interrupt' bit in
receive descriptor control words.

eaf34b61de Minor bug: in the case where allocating a fresh mbuf for the receive ring
fails, we need to set the descriptor status word so that the 'OWN' bit
is set again so that the chip can reuse it. Previously, this wasn't being
done.

bd6e00f32c The VIA Rhine appears to be yet another chip that always includes the
ethernet CRC in received frames and has no option to turn this behavior
off. Trim the CRC off manually in vr_rxeof().

60d13c7a9d The "easy" fixes for compiling the kernel -Wunused: remove unreferenced static
and local variables, goto labels, and functions declared but not defined.

f72fa84f93 Add sanity check to foo_start() routines: in the unlikely (though
apparently possible) event that the transmit start routine is
called with and empty if_snd queue, bail out instead of dereferencing
unilitialized transmit list pointers and panicking.

dfd7dd0c59 An early Christmas present: add driver support for a whole bunch of
PCI fast ethernet adapters, plus man pages.

if_pn.c: Netgear FA310TX model D1, LinkSys LNE100TX, Matrox FastNIC 10/100,
         various other PNIC devices

if_mx.c: NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100 (Macronix 98713A), various
         other boards based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A
         and 98725 chips

if_vr.c: D-Link DFE530-TX, other boards based on the VIA Rhine and
         Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards
         that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI
         device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't
         really matter since the driver treats both chips the same
         anyway.)

if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the
         Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to
         the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many
         clones there are running around)

All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast
filtering.

Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and
sysinstall device list.

I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.
