Rev 1.56 of if_dc.c removed calls to mii_pollstat() from the dc_tick() routine. dc_tick() is called regularly to detect link up and link down status, especially when autonegotiating. The expectation was that mii_tick() (which is still called from dc_tick()) would update status information automatically in all cases where it would be sensible to do so. Unfortunately, with authentic 21143 chips this is not the case, and the driver never successfully autonegotiates. This is because (despite what it says in the 21143 manual) the chip always claims that link is not present while the autonegotiation enable bit is set. Autonegotation takes place and succeeds, but the driver tests the link bits before it switches off the autonegotiation enable bit, and success is not recognised. The simplest solution is to call dcphy_status() more often for MII_TICK calls by dropping out of the switch statement instead of exiting when we are autonegotiating and link appears to not be present. When autonegotiation succeeds, dcphy_status() will note the speed and fdx/hdx state and turn off the autonegotiation enable bit. The next call to dcphy_status() will notice that link is present, and the dc driver code will be notified. Macronix chips also use this code, but implement link detection as described in the manual, and hence don't need this patch. However, tests on a Macronix 98715AEC-C show that it does not adversely affect them. This could be done better but is the minimal effective change, and most closely mimics what was happening prior to rev 1.56 of if_dc.c. (Actually I also deleted a small amount of unnecessary code while I was in the area.) Reviewed by: wpaul |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
