  rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are
  through ifp anyway.  IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
  one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.

- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
  and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
  to use IF_LLADDR() instead.

Catch up with IFP2ENADDR() type change (array -> pointer).

- Make IFP2ENADDR() a pointer to IF_LLADDR() rather than another

2005-11-11T07:36:14+00:00

  copy of Ethernet address.

- Change iso88025_ifattach() and fddi_ifattach() to accept MAC
  address as an argument, similar to ether_ifattach(), to make
  this work.

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and

2005-08-09T10:20:02+00:00

IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags.  Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags.  This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining
PCCARD_API_LEVEL 5 before including pccarddevs for driver writers that
want/need to have the same driver on 5 and 6 with pccard attachments.

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.
