wpaul 3aba1dc21e Overhaul the ThunderLAN driver. This update includes the following
changes:

- Cleaned up register access macros so that they work like the XL
  driver macros (you can switch from PIO to memory-mapped mode
  using a single #define -- default is still memory mapped mode).
  The old 'struct overlayed onto the memory mapped register space'
  cruft has been removed.

- Improved multicast filter code. The ThunderLAN has four entry
  perfect filter table in addition to the 64-bit hash table: we need
  one of the perfect filter entries for the station address, but we
  can use the other three for multicast filtering. We arrange to put
  the first three multicast group addresses in the perfect filter
  slots so that commonly joined groups like the all hosts group and
  the all routers group can be filtered without using up bits in the
  hash table.

  Note: in FreeBSD 3.0, multicast groups are stored in a doubly
  linked list, however new entries are added at the head of the list
  (thereby pushing existing entries down towards the tail). We want
  to update the filter starting from the oldest entry to the newest
  since the all hosts group is always joined first. This means we
  really want to start from the tail of the list, not the head, but
  to find the tail we first have to traverse the list all the way to
  the end and then add entries working backwards. This is a bit of a
  kludge and could be inefficient if the list is long.

- Cleaned up autonegotiation code: tl_autoneg() wasn't always setting
  modes correctly.

- Cleaned up ifmedia update and status routines as well.

- Added tl_hardreset() routine to initialize the internal PHY according
  to the ThunderLAN manual.

- Did away with the kludge where PHYs were treated as separate logical
  interfaces. This didn't really work, especially in the case of the
  newer Olicom 2326 adapters which use a Micro Linear ML6692 PHY which
  provides only 100Mbps support, relying on the internal PHY for 10Mbps
  support (both PHYs share the RJ45 port, with the 6692 doing all the
  autonegotiation work). This kludge resulted from my misunderstanding
  of the operation of the Compaq Netelligent Dual Port card (the tlan
  manual mentions multiple channels, but in a different context; this
  got me a little confused). The driver has been reported to work
  correctly with the dual port card.

- Added dio_getbit/dio_setbit/dio_read/dio_write functions which carefully
  set the ThunderLAN's indirectly accessed internal registers. This makes
  the EEPROM reading code more reliable.

Hopefully I won't have to touch this again before 3.0 goes out the door.
I plan to import the 2.2.x version sometime this week.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel and the contents of /etc.  Please see the top of the Makefile
in this directory for more information on the standard build targets
and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process,
documentation for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
wouldn't even run).
