totally dynamic.
this is only the devices in i386/isa
I'll do more tomorrow.
they're completely masked by #ifdef JREMOD at this stage...
the eventual aim is that every driver will do a SYSINIT
at startup BEFORE the probes, which will effectively
link it into the devsw tables etc.
If I'd thought about it more I'd have put that in in this set (damn)
The ioconf lines generated by config will also end up in the
device's own scope as well, so ioconf.c will eventually be gutted
the SYSINIT call to the driver will include a phase where the
driver links it's ioconf line into a chain of such. when this phase is done
then the user can modify them with the boot: -c
config menu if he wants, just like now..
config will put the config lines out in the .h file
(e.g. in aha.h will be the addresses for the aha driver to look.)
as I said this is a very small first step..
the aim of THIS set of edits is to not have to edit conf.c at all when
adding a new device.. the tabe will be a simple skeleton..
when this is done, it will allow other changes to be made,
all teh time still having a fully working kernel tree,
but the logical outcome is the complete REMOVAL of the devsw tables.
By the end of this, linked in drivers will be exactly the same as
run-time loaded drivers, except they JUST HAPPEN to already be linked
and present at startup..
the SYSINIT calls will be the equivalent of the "init" call
made to a newly loaded driver in every respect.
For this edit,
each of the files has the following code inserted into it:
obviously, tailored to suit..
----------------------somewhere at the top:
#ifdef JREMOD
#include <sys/conf.h>
#define CDEV_MAJOR 13
#define BDEV_MAJOR 4
static void sd_devsw_install();
#endif /*JREMOD */
---------------------somewhere that's run during bootup: EVENTUALLY a SYSINIT
#ifdef JREMOD
sd_devsw_install();
#endif /*JREMOD*/
-----------------------at the bottom:
#ifdef JREMOD
struct bdevsw sd_bdevsw =
{ sdopen, sdclose, sdstrategy, sdioctl, /*4*/
sddump, sdsize, 0 };
struct cdevsw sd_cdevsw =
{ sdopen, sdclose, rawread, rawwrite, /*13*/
sdioctl, nostop, nullreset, nodevtotty,/* sd */
seltrue, nommap, sdstrategy };
static sd_devsw_installed = 0;
static void sd_devsw_install()
{
dev_t descript;
if( ! sd_devsw_installed ) {
descript = makedev(CDEV_MAJOR,0);
cdevsw_add(&descript,&sd_cdevsw,NULL);
#if defined(BDEV_MAJOR)
descript = makedev(BDEV_MAJOR,0);
bdevsw_add(&descript,&sd_bdevsw,NULL);
#endif /*BDEV_MAJOR*/
sd_devsw_installed = 1;
}
}
#endif /* JREMOD */

----------------
This driver is in no way supported by Digital Equipment. See the
disclaimers in the sources for more.
This driver supports all the DEC EtherWORKS III NICs (DE203, DE204,
and DE205) and the later DEC EtherWORKS II NICs (DE200, DE201, DE202,
DE422). DEPCA-style boards prior to the DE200 have not been tested
and may not work.
This driver is not EISA aware. If you are using a DE422 or have
configured the EtherWORKS III in EISA mode, make sure you specify
the I/O port properly as this driver will *not* probe for it.
(The I/O port should be 0xNc00 where N is the EISA slot number).
This driver does not yet use the full 128KB allowed by the DE422.
Someday, it might. For EtherWORKS III NICs, the driver will override
the EEPROM setting of MemoryMode and *always* use the 2K for best
results.
The driver includes full support for both BPF and IP Multicast.
[All paths are relative to the top of sys source area, usually
/usr/src/sys.]
The following files need to be moved into their respective
directories:
if_le.c --> i386/isa
am7990.h --> i386/isa/ic
lemac.h --> i386/isa/ic
You will need to apply the patch provided in pat.files.i386 to
i386/conf/files.i386 file.
After that is done you will need to edit your config file (in
i386/conf) and a line similar to:
device le0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd0000 vector le_intr
[The above line assumes the board is still at the factory defaults.]
Change the port, irq, and iomem value if needed to your configuration.
Now you are ready to rebuild your kernel, reboot, and see if the
driver can configure your board. When the system boots, you will
hopefully something close to:
EtherWORKS II:
le0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 5 maddr 0xd0000 msize 65536 on isa
le0: DE202 ethernet address 08:00:2b:2d:c8:45
bpf: le0 attached
EtherWORKS III:
le0 at 0x320-0x33f irq 5 maddr 0xd0000 msize 2048 on isa
le0: DE205-AB ethernet address 08:00:2b:bb:23:e0
le0 attached
in the startup log. If so, the board configured properly and
should be ready to use.
