to something more recent than the ancient 1.2 release contained in
4.4. This code has the following advantages as compared to
previous versions (culled from the README file for the SunOS release):
- True multicast delivery
- Configurable rate-limiting of forwarded multicast traffic on each
physical interface or tunnel, using a token-bucket limiter.
- Simplistic classification of packets for prioritized dropping.
- Administrative scoping of multicast address ranges.
- Faster detection of hosts leaving groups.
- Support for multicast traceroute (code not yet available).
- Support for RSVP, the Resource Reservation Protocol.
What still needs to be done:
- The multicast forwarder needs testing.
- The multicast routing daemon needs to be ported.
- Network interface drivers need to have the `#ifdef MULTICAST' goop ripped
out of them.
- The IGMP code should probably be bogon-tested.
Some notes about the porting process:
In some cases, the Berkeley people decided to incorporate functionality from
later releases of the multicast code, but then had to do things differently.
As a result, if you look at Deering's patches, and then look at
our code, it is not always obvious whether the patch even applies. Let
the reader beware.
I ran ip_mroute.c through several passes of `unifdef' to get rid of
useless grot, and to permanently enable the RSVP support, which we will
include as standard.

Add initialization to the if_ie driver for the Micom Interlan NI5210 card.
This is a very old 82586 based card with only 8Kb or 16Kb on board memory.
Also only 8-bit wide instead of 16-bit like the AT& or 3COM card.
Warning: this thing is only tested so far that it detects all bits
correctly but is not yet on an ethernet. Will do that tomorrow.
underscore. Use it to avoid seeing badsw when profiling the kernel.
Print times more accurately (e.g. usec in %8.0f format instead of
msec in %8.2f format for averages) if hz >= 10000. This should have
no effect now since profhz is only 1024.

Delete the old style generation of the whatis database and replace it
with the call to makewhatis. Don't install the old makewhatis.sed script
under /usr/share/man any longer.

xinstall instead of install for this directory ? Would life more

Theo de Raadt, Charles, and Michael V. may have contributed to it.

and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection,
and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah.

to deal with things like xditview which otherwise had hardcoded assumptions
about where X lived. Yuck.

- MAKEDEV: remove all signs of lpa
add lpctl? devices (minor # = unit + 128)
- usr.sbin/Makefile add lptcontrol
- sys/i386/isa/lpt.c implement the LP_BYPASS flag: when a unit is
opened with this flag set, the printer is
not primed, and no check is made to see that
the printer is online. This can only be used
to pass ioctls. (giving us /dev/lpctl?)
- lptcontrol.c use /dev/lpctl? (LP_BYPASS)
-f flag removed, -u flag added
- lptcontrol.8 document changes in lptcontrol

- Makefile: bmake the sucker

- add Magdir/freebsd
- add file to usr.bin/Makefile
A note on the FreeBSD magic entry:
The magic number "000000407" is reported as "impure format". This
stops file(1) telling us that our object files are "PDP-11 executables".
(Saying anything more than "impure format" would probably be bogus.

Update the if_ep driver for the 3C579 and bring over some of the
changes from the netbsd driver.
This is not complete: the detection of the irq in the eisa does not
work and sometimes the reset for the 3C509 in ISA in an EISA bus system
don't work ( Need a hard reset to be found again == reset knob).
