network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

the driver. Doing this breaks the ability to unload the unneeded
parts of the driver (e.g unload the PCI section when using an ISA
card), but currently ifconfig(8) expects an interface `XXX' to have
a driver name of `if_XXX'.

newbus in revision 1.19. As a result, lnc was, I believe, broken
for all PCI cards. The softc fields `lnc_btag' and `lnc_bhandle'
were not initialised, `rap', `rdp' and `bdp' were initialised to
the wrong values, and the size of the DMA ring memory was calculated
incorrectly.
Paul Richards has further cleanups in the pipeline, but this at
least is enough to make the driver usable with VMware.

ether_ifdetach().
The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

This means that we will not have to have a bpf and a non-bpf version
of our driver modules.
This does not open any security hole, because the bpf core isn't loadable
The drivers left unchanged are the "cross platform" drivers where the respective
maintainers are urged to DTRT, whatever that may be.
Add a couple of missing FreeBSD tags.
if_init_f_t is passed void * containing the address of ifp->if_softc
not the unit number.
Someone tell me if these things don't work as I don't have the hardware
needed to test them. (thats a first.)
I'll get if_ze and if_zp later.
