which contain 'standard' com- and lpt-type ports. Some of these present
as PCI simple-communications/serial or simple-communications/parallel
devices, but many do not. (Additionally, there is no document that I can
find that describes the "specific well-konwn register-level" description
of how the 'standard' devices' config space headers shold work.) Eventually,
some of the devices driven by this code should become simple pci attachments
for the 'lpt' and 'com' drivers, but that requires solid documentation.
used in the SMC EtherPower II.
Media control isn't yet supported, due to some MII infrastructure
problems which I hope to address soon. This isn't a huge deal, since
the PHY defaults to auto-negotiate mode.
Also, the device just programs the multicast hash table to accept all
multicast, to avoid a hardware bug that causes the multicast address
filter to lose in 10Mb/s mode. This bug will be fixed in a more sane
way once the media control issues are dealt with.
of last resort when trying to communicate information about
bogus behaviour of PCI devices to the MI autoconfiguration code.
In general, bogus behaviour should be handled by drivers, but there
are some types of bogons which can't be addressed that way. The
only quirk currently defined is one which indicates that the device
is multi-function even though the device's header says otherwise.
(Mmm, Intel 82371FB PCI-to-ISA Bridge (PIIX); you'd think that at least
Intel would have gotten it right...)
needs some testing, but it seems to produce sound. The driver was written
by me, but since I don't have the hardware the debugging and testing was
done by Andreas Gustafsson <gson@araneus.fi>, Chuck Cranor
<chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, and Phil Nelson <phil@cs.wwu.edu>. Thanks.
controller driver. These are commented out here until the wdc
declaration mess is resolved, and until then need to go into MD
files files in places where they play nice with the wdc declaration.
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.
naming conflicts between bus attachments on ports that can have
multiple instances of the LANCE.
Add a real PCI front-end for PCnet-PCI Ethernet cards.
Changed struct ifnet to have a pointer to the softc of the underlying
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
bus-independent core driver. Tested on all three bus types, including
an isa 3c509 masquerading as an eisa device (use ep* at eisa? slot ? in
your kernel config file to catch this one).
XXX Driver still needs to be converted to <machine/bus.h>
- 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.
