Change in the way receive buffer areas are handled. Before we gave
the chip 16 buffers, each 1536 bytes (big enough for one packet).
Now we're handing the chip 8 buffers, each 4 Kbytes, and letting
the chip fit as many packets as it can in each one. This should
help keep it from running out of buffer space. Also make some of
the performance-crucial routines inline. It made no measurable
difference except to make me feel better
Changes from Bob Nestor <rnestor@metronet.com> to get closer to support
for his Apple SONIC-based nubus card.
Changes from me to try to get SONIC's MAC address from MacOS settings if
we can't read the PROM space.
tweaks and bug fixes by yours truly.
Here's what Denny had to say:
nubus.h:
- add a drsw entry for my card
[ I also added a couple of constants for more display cards ]
if_sn.c:
- allocate sc->space using malloc (Scott wanted this).
- make csr accesses use NIC_PUT/GET, remove sc->sc_csr.
- add multicast and IFF_PROMISC support. multicast isn't
well tested, but I made sure the unicast case still
works.
- finish the new arp interface, remove sc->sc_enaddr
if_snreg.h:
- remove struct sonic_reg
if_snvar.h:
- add NIC_PUT and NIC_GET macros a la if_ae
- remove sc_txhead, it isn't used.
if_sn_nubus.c:
- clean up support for my SE/30 card.
- Move add_nubus_intr from if_sn.c (to keep if_sn.c MI)
if_sn_obio.c:
- make Q610, C610, Q650, C650, Q800 use EXBUS.
- PB500 had a "return" where "break" was intended. PB500
probably wasn't working.
- move add_nubus_intr from if_sn.c.
- add an "explanation" why Apple's ethernet addr is encoded
in token ring format in the PROM.
