- Extend the number of available subtypes for Ethernet media by using some
of the ifmedia word's option bits to help denote subtypes. As a result, the
number of possible Ethernet subtype values increases from 31 to 511.
- Use some of those new values to define new media types.
- lacp_compose_key() recgonizes the new Ethernet media types added.
(Change made as required by a comment in if_media.h)
- New ioctl, SIOGIFXMEDIA, to handle getting the new extended media types.
SIOCGIFMEDIA is retained for backwards compatibility.
- Changes to ifconfig to allow it to handle the new extended media types.
