Remove the old *.TXT release documentation files, as they
have been subsumed into RELNOTESng. The new layout will greatly
facilitate their maintenence and help keep them internally consistent.

version control information that is different from the rest of their
containing document (or at least other sections). For release notes
only, allow output of <sect1info><pubdate></pubdate></sect1info>
text, and add it to three sections of RELNOTESng where it's kind of
important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in
the arch-independent hardware list, and the processors section of the
alpha hardware list).
1. Everywhere I could figure out what driver supported a device or
class of device, there is now a cross-reference via a &man entity.
For cases where a driver has no manpage (and hence no &man entity),
we now at least give the name of the driver. For the most part,
this was done by examining driver manpages.
2. A number of devices which are i386-only are now marked as such,
determined by noting manpages or kernel source files in
architecture-specific directories.
3. Added hardware supported by the vpo(4), wl(4), awi(4), and bktr(4)
drivers, based on a read of the manpages.
The manpages and source files in question were taken from 4-STABLE,
(which is what was running on my off-net laptop at the time)
but at this level of detail, I don't expect there to be any appreciable
differences between 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT.
and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000
copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with
this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.
This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.
This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.
