by the isa.c bus driver and the "address/whatever not specified"
argument passed to leaf device drivers.
The former is "ISACF_XXX_DEFAULT" as generaterd by config(8), the latter
"ISA_UNKNOWN_XXX", defined in isavar.h.
This way we save a dependency of every ISA device driver on "locators.h".
configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
need an interupt when the hardware hits tx chain end. We switch on one
int per packet sent when we fill up and go into OACTIVE mode.
Measured total interupt savings on large NFS writes: 20%.
a) use stream methods when transferring data via the MEMPORT into/out of
the chips buffer memory
b) use htole16/le16toh when interpreting 16bit values in the chips memory
Both where NOPs on i386 machines, which is why this worked before on the
test machine(s), but would break when on a big-endian machine.
it, before starting the command to install the multicast list.
(We did it right for writing data packets, but failed here.)
Without this, the last multicast address installed won't be made active.
directly, call the function pointer (*if_input)(ifp, m). The input routine
expects the packet header to be at the head of the packet, and will adjust
as necessary. Privatize the layer 2 input and output routines, allowing
*_ifattach() to set them up as appropriate.
