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.
the historical link? flags for media select)
XXX No pullup request for this. But if sysinst supports explicit media
XXX selection in 1.3, this should be in 1.3 as well.
Instead, print a diagnostic and return. (Some drivers do this already.)
Also, normalize the diagnostic message, and fix some places where the
printfs were getting ugly.
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.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
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.
(and only tested on) Intel Etherexpress PRO. Should work on any i82595 ISA
board which uses an EEPROM for config information; NETBLKID not yet supported.
TODO: change to BUS interface, add multicast support.
