from the softc.
- Rework the watchdog timer to match other NIC drivers:
- Start a timer in fe_init() that runs once a second and checks a counter
in the softc that is identical to the deprecated 'if_timer'.
- Just adjust the softc tx timeout value when sending packets instead of
scheduling the timer.
- Use IFQ_SET_MAXLEN().

- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and device hardware.
- Don't leak bus resources if if_alloc() fails during attach.
- Setup the interrupt handler after calling ether_ifattach().
- Use a private timer to manage the transmit watchdog.

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.
confused with the Credit Card Adapter II and its spawn (which the xe
driver supports). These changes get my card probing and attaching. I
recently won one of these (and a NEC rebadged version) in an lot
auction. The NEC didn't work, so I took it apart and found the
MB86960A chip and then modified if_fe_pccard.c to attach. I can't
test this card further since I have no dongle for this card.
could get an interrupt after we free the ifp, and the interrupt
handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory,
cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to
after the bus_teardown_intr() call.
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.

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.

address, nor do we need the alignment requirements, so eliminate them.
This likely means that we can now collapse some of the entries as we
have no need of them anymore (they match other entries and were there
only to get the right attr memory offset of the enet addr).
cards work. These changes depend on the expanded funce parsing that
just was committed to pccard_cis.c. In NetBSD the ethernet address
was read out of attr memory directly. We rely on the kernel pccard
parser to pulll this information out of what appears to be an obsolete
funce with the information in it.

As reported by Sean Shapira. This appears to be working. Eagle used
Fujitsu's vendor number, with a product number of 4 (which is the same
as the vendor number, which is a little suspect). Since there's no
apparent conflict, go ahead and use it.

if the link-level address has been initialized already.
The majority of modern drivers never does this and works fine, which
makes me think that the check is totally unnecessary and a residue
of cut&paste from other drivers.
This change is done to simplify locking because now almost none of the
drivers uses this field. The exceptions are "ct" "ctau" and "cx"
where i am not sure if i can remove that part.
multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface

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

A number of functions in this driver still use the unit number in their
printouts because they pass the unit directly as a function argument
instead of passing a softc or struct ifnet pointer. This should be
resolved at a future date.
