dg 179a5ad365 Work around a bug in the 82557 NIC where the receiver will lock up
if it is in 10Mbps mode and gets certain types of garbage prior to
the packet header. The work-around involves reprogramming the
multicast filter if nothing is received in some number of seconds
(currently set at 15). As a side effect, implemented complete support
for multicasting rather than the previous 'receive all multicasts'
hack, since we now have the ability to program the filter table.
Fixed a serious bug which crept in with the timeout() changes;
the cookie was only saved on the first timeout() call in fxp_init()
and wasn't updated in the most common place in fxp_stats_update()
when the timeout was rescheduled. This bug would have resulted in
an eventual panic if fxp_stop() was called (which happens when any
interface flags are changed, for example).
Fixed a bug in Alpha support that would have caused the TxCB
descriptor chain to span a page boundry, causing serious problems
if the pages didn't happen to be contiguous.
Removed some gratuitous bit masking that was left over from an
older implementation.
Fixed a bug where too much was copied from the configuration
template, spilling over into memory that followed it.
Fixed handling of if_timer...it was cleared too early in some cases.

----------------

The enclosed drivers should be considered beta-test software.  These
drivers are in no way supported by Digital Equipment.  See the
disclaimers in the sources for more information.  Please be aware that
Digital does not employee me to write drivers for FreeBSD.

This kit contains one driver:

	de	DEC DE435 PCI NIC or compatible

See README.de for information and installation instruction specific to this
driver.

Could you please send me the startup messages in the boot
long along with the type of your PC once the driver configures?  

If you have any problems, comments, suggestions, rant or raves, don't
hesitate to send me mail @ thomas@lkg.dec.com.

Lastly, if you change or modify the code, I want context diffs of your
changes.  I want this to the canonical DEC EtherWORKS driver kit for
FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/386, and any other BSD based O/S.  Please make
sure your diffs are approriate conditionalized.

Thanks,
Matt Thomas
