This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 6.0-RELEASE image.

MFC: Minor fixups:

- Use if_printf() and device_printf().
- Don't zero the softc.
- Cleanup error handling in attach().
- Don't double init the callout handle.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the

2005-06-10T16:49:24+00:00

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
 - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
   Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
   To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
 - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
   from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

network interface driver changes:

2002-11-14T23:54:55+00:00

o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
  up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

Fix some memory bugs with regard to jumbo buffers. I made a mistake when

2001-06-18T22:04:40+00:00

converting from the old external mbuf buffer code to the new (with the
MEXTADD() macro). Also free free list memory correctly in
foo_free_jumbo_mem() routines: grab the head of the list, then
remove it, _then_ free() it.

This fixes the memory corruption problem I've been chasing in the level 1
driver.

Add device driver support for the Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator

2001-05-31T21:44:26+00:00

gigabit ethernet controller chip. This device is used on some
fiber optic gigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported. Hardware VLAN
filtering is not, because it doesn't play well with our existing
VLAN code. Also add manual page.

There is a 4.x version of this driver available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Level1/4.x if anyone feels adventurous
and wants to test it. I still need to do performance testing and
tuning with this device.

(For my next trick, I will make the 3Com 3cR990 sit up and beg.)
