Write kern_securelevel_enable variable to rc.conf if user selects
medium or low security in sysinstall. This overrides the case where a
user selects fascist security and then tries to go back to a lower
setting.

support for the PCnet/FAST III cards in the documentation. The
PCnet/FAST III chips have integrated 10/100 PHYs.

the Distributions menu and getting nothing selected as a result

appropriate(?) defaults for "low", "medium" and "high" security
environments. Medium is basically what we currently have with a little
seat-belt tightening where it made sense. Low is the same as medium but
without the tightening. High is positively fascist with nothing turned
on by default and an automatic call to 911 if it can find a modem.
really doesn't make any sense, what was I smoking) and allow
the more canonical usage of "any" for either side of the comparison
for release name or architecture (meaning you can also set CD_VERSION=any
in a cdrom.inf file to cause sysinstall to always match it and likewise
with the architecture, if specified).

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
