make development easier and push the ability of newbus to load busses
to the test.
Not added to sys/modules/Makefile because it isn't ready to break the
nightly snapshots for alpha yet :-).
NOTE: This is only for NEWCARD. The old pccard stuff will not build
as a loadable module.
code. You can now build the newcard's pcic driver as a module for all
the joy that will bring you, which currently isn't so much joy as it
is pain.
The old pccard module will never be made to work again, so I think
this is OK. Note, it still remains disabled in sys/modules/Makefile
on purpose.
Been in production for 3 years now. Gives Instant Frame relay to if_sr
and if_ar drivers, and PPPOE support soon. See:

In order to make this work, I created a pseudo-PHY driver to deal with
Macronix chips that use the built-in NWAY support and symbol mode port.
This is actually all of them, with the exception of the original MX98713
which presents its NWAY support via the MII serial interface.
The mxphy driver actually manipulates the controller registers directly
rather than using the miibus_readreg()/miibus_writereg() bus interface
since there are no MII registers to read. The mx driver itself pretends
that the NWAY interface is a PHY locayed at MII address 31 for the sole
purpose of allowing the mxphy_probe() routine to know when it needs to
attach to a host controller.
the AMI PCI controllers using the 8LD firmware interface (40LD firmware
will be supported as soon as I have hardware to test with).
These controllers are rebadged by Dell as the PERC, as well as by HP
and possibly other vendors.
apm_saver uses the apm_display() routine from the apm system to
"suspend" the "display" part of the machine.
This is beneficial for some laptops (or other machines with
non-traditional displays) that choke on the 'green' saver's
effect.
Another way of looking at this is that it's the same as a screen
saver that does an 'apm -d 0' to blank the display and an 'apm -d 1'
to bring it back. One probably ought to use these commands to make
sure the effect will be correct before using it unattended.
