- Rip out all the static softc stuff and do softc allocation the right way.
- Rewrite most of the ISA code so that it provides a DEVICE_IDENTIFY
method to enumerate all non-PnP ISA devices.
This has the following consequences:
- No 'ep' devices may be hardwired.
- All hardwired devices will probably be detected twice.
By hardwired I mean:
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10
- 'ep' devices are ordered by bus, slot, and then MAC address.
- Make 3c509B cards work in PnP mode. Yes, they really work.
- Convert over to using ifmedia for media selection. No more of this
lame 'linkX' stuff.
- Consolidate a lot of duplicated code.
- Make a stab at not breaking MII based PCCARD devices.
I doubt that the PCCARD stuff works any more than it did before my
changes but theres hope. My PCCARD hardware should arrive in a
week or so.
- Retreive the media settings from the card EEPROM rather than guessing.
I've got a 3c509-TPO that thinks its got an AUI port and if others
can report similar problems I'll write a bit of clever code that will
fix this but right now it works correctly on all but 1 card.
- Clean up a few things and make some cosmetic changes.
- Add myself as the MAINTAINER since nobody else wants to. I'm
in the best position to do this as I've got an example of most
of the cards:
EISA 3c579 bnc/aui
MCA 3c529 tp/aui
ISA 3c509 tpo
ISA-PnP 3c509B combo
If someone wants to send me a any cards I don't have I'd appriciate
it. Also welcome are 3c59x boards since I'll be folding if_vx and
if_ep at some point.
Shift to using the same queueing strategy that the amr driver uses.
Some simple tests indicate that we use about 2% of the CPU at around
500tps with the controller completely saturated with I/O.
the time spent at splbio(). We now avoid it unless we are actually
manipulating the command queues themselves. This doesn't improve
performance noticeably, but should improve concurrency somewhat.
(yet) compile and link. Renamed pcic back to pcic from pcicx, but
conditionalize its inclusion on pccard being included also. card is
the old and pccard is the new, which is a handy way to have both in
the tree at the same time.

like "pw usermod <name> -m" to work for non-local NIS users; since no attempt
is made to update the password entry, the home directory will be created and
populated as expected without error.
incomplete and likely has problem. The code was originally pcmcia,
but I renamed it to pccard and made it compile on FreeBSD -current. I
converted SIMPLEQ to STAILQ as well as a few sc->dev.xname ->
device_printf changes. This is a green port of fairly mature code.
I derived this work from the FreeBSD newconfig project
(http://www.jp.freebsd.org/newconfig). Any problems with it are
likely introduced by me.
