reset (same place as in the Linux driver). Hopefully this would fix
the initialization problem I've seen previously (cannot repeat it
even without this change no matter how I play with the card).
Remove the comment about the initialization problem now.
i82586-based controller, similarily to e.g. ai(4), el(4) or ix(4).
The driver was modelled after the ai(4) driver.
Due to lack of better documentation, Linux 3c523 driver was used
to find out 3c523-specific quirks. Of course, the necessary work was greatly
reduced by our decend generic ic/i82586 code :)
Finally, NetBSD supports an ethernet card on IBM PS/2!
- Adjust for the driver to be configured as fdisa
- Add a for the atari correct fd_types array
- Work around the fact that the atari has no machine/conf.h
Revert the revert. Naturally, I considered OpenBSD and FreeBSD when I fixed
the incorrect use of the spl*() interface. The change I made is _required_
for both NetBSD _and_ OpenBSD, or the code won't even COMPILE except on
i386, and it is acceptable on FreeBSD. Your revert and mod rebroke it on
OpenBSD and tangled things up on NetBSD. It made no difference on FreeBSD.
In particular, there are 2,895 uses of splx() within the FreeBSD kernel,
and only a mere 21, that's "twenty one" uses of intrmask_t, and those are
almost exclusively in the guts of the interrupt implementation, _not_ in
the _use_ of the exported spl*() functions. It's perfectly OK to `int s
= spltty()' in a portable driver in FreeBSD.
For that matter, FreeBSD (-current at least) does not even *use* spl*()
any more and stubs them all out with inlines that do _nothing_ except return
0, making intrmask_t vs int _even less_ important there than it already
was.
I think it's great that you want to start hacking on the kernel, but do
note that this is certainly the most simple of the kernel interfaces. It
just gets worse from here. Be careful out there!
