This means 'options NETGRAPH' is no longer necessary in order to get
netgraph-enabled Ethernet interfaces. This supports loading/unloading
the ng_ether.ko and attaching/detaching the Ethernet interface in any
order.
Add two new hooks 'upper' and 'lower' to allow access to the protocol
demux engine and the raw device, respectively. This enables bridging
to be defined as a netgraph node, if so desired.

address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:
socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command
You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).
Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

backwards to align the mbuf if required.
This fixes a longstanding problem where an mbuf which would have been

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers

The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make

The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially

possible for a panic to occur if BPF is in use on the interface at the
time of the call to if_detach. This happens because BPF maintains pointers
to the struct ifnet describing the interface, which is freed by if_detach.
To correct this problem, a new call, bpfdetach, is introduced. bpfdetach
locates BPF descriptor references to the interface, and NULLs them. Other
BPF code is modified so that discovery of a NULL interface results in
ENXIO (already implemented for some calls). Processes blocked on a BPF
call will also be woken up so that they can receive ENXIO.
Interface drivers that invoke bpfattach and if_detach must be modified to
also call bpfattach(ifp) before calling if_detach(ifp). This is relevant
for buses that support hot removal, such as pccard and usb. Patches to
all effected devices will not be committed, only to if_wi.c, due to
testing limitations. To reproduce the crash, load up tcpdump on you
favorite pccard ethernet card, and then eject the card. As some pccard
drivers do not invoke if_detach(ifp), this bug will not manifest itself
for those drivers.

not the current BPF device should report locally generated packets or not.
This allows sniffing applications to see only packets that are not generated
locally, which can be useful for debugging bridging problems, or other
situations where MAC addresses are not sufficient to identify locally
sourced packets. Default to true for this flag, so as to provide existing
behavior by default.
Introduce two new ioctls, BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT, which may be used
to manipulate this flag from userland, given appropriate privilege.
Modify bpf.4 to document these two new ioctl arguments.

Now most big problem of IPv6 is getting IPv6 address
assignment.
6to4 solve the problem. 6to4 addr is defined like below,
2002: 4byte v4 addr : 2byte SLA ID : 8byte interface ID
The most important point of the address format is that an IPv4 addr
is embeded in it. So any user who has IPv4 addr can get IPv6 address
block with 2byte subnet space. Also, the IPv4 addr is used for
semi-automatic IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling.
With 6to4, getting IPv6 addr become dramatically easy.
The attached patch enable 6to4 extension, and confirmed to work,

is triggered when qmail is used with INET6 enabled. The bug
manifests itself in that the space variable can become negative
and that in the comparison in the guards of the 2 loops, this was
not noticed because sizeof() returns an unsigned and thus the signed
variable gets promoted to unsigned. I decided not to make space
unsigned because I think we should guard against this from happening.
Thus panic() in case space becomes negative.

Some LAN card chip for fxp is known to cause problem at
interface initialization with IPv6 enabled. It happens at
some delicate timing.
And also, just adding some DELAY before IPv6 address
autoconfiguration is known to avoid the problem.
Complete fix is changing the driver not to use interrupt at
multicast filter initialization, but trying such change in
this stage will be dangerous.
So I add some DELAY() only inside #ifdef INET6 part,
as temporal workaround only for 4.0.
