Simplify the way transmit buffers are managed, remove assumptions about
NBPG, simplify sonic_get handling, update snioctl to be more like other
current drivers, and probably a few other changes I've now forgotten about.
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.
present and initialize a few things. No color support, yet.
- Properly disable interrupts for DAFB.
- Rearrange for better nubus display card interrupt support. Only register
an interrupt if we know how to clear it.
- Complain if we don't know about a given display card and can not install
an interrupt handler.
- Change MYSTERY stuff to cb264--still need to get the DrSW so we can
actually call the routine to clear an interrupt from this card.
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.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
indirect bus code framework) from Jason Thorpe. This allows us to dump
bus_scan() and bus_print(), and move bus_peek() and bus_mapin() to the
NuBus code (since they'll eventually go away, anyway).
second argument. The NuBus autoconfig code had to be reorganized as a
result of this, and looks much more like a directly-attached bus now.
These changes eliminate __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG.

before allowing accesses to ASC memory. Among other things, this
prevents the 660AV and 840AV from getting a kernel bus error when trying
to beep on the console.
instead of 0x400.
- Restructure interrupt handling for more performance--continue to
read/write data as long as the device keeps us in a data xfer phase.
There is still a lot of room for speed improvement here. Perhaps it
lies is speeding up the interrupt path in general?
some guesses for the machines that have two of these buggers (I don't have
such a machine). This driver is a copy of the sparc/alpha esp with a
minimum of changes--after we get it performing a bit more respectably,
we should see about re-normalizing the sources.
occupy a slot. This is necessary so that GRFIOCMAP can find the correct
physical address of the framebuffer. Fixes P550, some LC models, and
perhaps the PB520.
Also change the device probing scheme to use something a bit more rational.
A current side-effect is that nubus cards are double-mapped. I expect
to fix that shortly.
Also change splclock() to block everything but serial hardware interrupts.
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
