ethernet adapters that are supported by the aue and kue drivers.
There are actually a couple more out there from Accton, Asante and
EXP Computer, however I was not able to find any Windows device
drivers for these on their servers, and hence could not harvest
their vendor/device ID info. If somebody has one of these things
and can look in the .inf file that comes with the Windows driver,
I'd appreciate knowing what it says for 'VID' and 'PID.'
Additional adapters include: the D-Link DSB-650 and DSB-650TX, the
SMC 2102USB, 2104USB and 2202USB, the ATen UC10T, and the Netgear EA101.
These are all mentioned in the man pages, relnotes and LINT.
Also correct the date in the kue(4) man page. I wrote this thing
on Jan, 4 2000, not 1999.
Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T, the
Entrega NET-USB-E45, the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com
3c19250 and the ADS Technologies USB-10BT. This device is 10mbs
half-duplex only, so there's miibus or ifmedia support. This device
also requires firmware to be loaded into it, however KLSI allows
redistribution of the firmware images (I specifically asked about
this; they said it was ok).
Special thanks to Annelise Anderson for getting me in touch with
KLSI (eventually) and thanks to KLSI for providing the necessary
programming info.
Highlights:
- Add driver files to /sys/dev/usb
- update usbdevs and regenerate attendate files
- update usb_quirks.c
- Update HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT for i386 and alpha
- Update LINT, GENERIC and others for i386, alpha and pc98
- Add man page
- Add module
- Update sysinstall and userconfig.c
USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.

Note: this is the preferred ordering. All new man pages/additions

should be left alone, unless you are making major changes in
the man page and re-ordering of the sections is only a
minor part of the change.

The same goes for CD drivers and tape drivers. In systems with mixed IDE
and SCSI, devices in the same priority class will be sorted in attach
order.
Also, the 'CCD' priority is now the 'ARRAY' priority, and a number of
drivers have been modified to use that priority.
This includes the necessary changes to all drivers, except the ATA drivers.
Soren will modify those separately.
This does not include and does not require any change in the devstat
version number, since no known userland applications use the priority

NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

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.
for the AN985 "Centaur" chip, which is apparently the next genetation
of the "Comet." The AN985 is also a tulip clone and is similar to the
AL981 except that it uses a 99C66 EEPROM and a serial MII interface
(instead of direct access to the PHY registers).
Also updated various documentation to mention the AN985 and created
a loadable module.
I don't think there are any cards that use this chip on the market yet:
the datasheet I got from ADMtek has boxes with big X's in them where the
diagrams should be, and the sample boards I got have chips without any
artwork on them.

the Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chipsets, including the Jaton Corporation
XPressNet. Datasheet is available from www.davicom8.com.
The DM910x chips are still more tulip clones. The API is reproduced
pretty faithfully, unfortunately the performance is pretty bad. The
transmitter seems to have a lot of problems DMAing multi-fragment
packets. The only way to make it work reliably is to coalesce transmitted
packets into a single contiguous buffer. The Linux driver (written by
Davicom) actually does something similar to this. I can't recomment this
NIC as anything more than a "connectivity solution."
This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both i386
and alpha platforms.

SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw.
This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast
hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and
receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is
pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This
driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and
alpha architectures.
