'RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 5.3-RELEASE image.

Since if_vx doesn't contain locking or run with INTR_MPSAFE, mark

2004-08-14T00:12:42+00:00

the interface as IFF_NEEDSGIANT so if_start is run holding Giant.

We don't need to initialize if_output, ether_ifattach() does it

2004-05-23T16:11:53+00:00

for us.

Announce ethernet MAC addresss in ether_ifattach().

Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members

2003-10-31T18:32:15+00:00

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

and I are working towards merging them, and this a step on that path.

Introduce an M_ASSERTPKTHDR() macro which performs the very common task

2003-04-08T14:25:47+00:00

of asserting that an mbuf has a packet header.  Use it instead of hand-
rolled versions wherever applicable.
