1) fixed 3c503 lock-up if the thinwire cable was disconnected at boot time
2) 8013EBT boards now work (quite well!) in 16bit/16k mode
3) ED_NO_DOUBLE_BUFFERING flag now works
4) slightly higer performance (about 3%) with 16bit WD/SMC boards
5) support for WD8013WC (10BaseT) boards
Additionally, the probe code has been reorganized to be much cleaner. This
revision of the driver is 1.25. The release notes have been updated as well.
profiling, and various protection checks that cause security holes
and system crashes.
* Changed min/max/bcmp/ffs/strlen to be static inline functions
- included from cpufunc.h in via systm.h. This change
improves performance in many parts of the kernel - up to 5% in the
networking layer alone. Note that this requires systm.h to be included
in any file that uses these functions otherwise it won't be able to
find them during the load.
* Fixed incorrect call to splx() in if_is.c
* Fixed bogus variable assignment to splx() in if_ed.c
* them in cpufunc.h. Modified wait loop in reset to look a little better.
* Added read for talley counters to prevent an infinite loop on old
* 8003E's if they (the counters) overflow.
asic register even if the board isn't a 3c503. This caused old 8003E's not
to work because they ignore IO address bits >10bits and the 3c503 asic is
located at +0x400....the offset was ignored by the 8003E and so the
value was written to one of the NIC registers. The bug was discovered by
Wolfgang Solfrank.
8bit or 16bit operation, and a flag to disable transmitter double buffering.
See the updated "ed.relnotes" file for information about how to set
the flags.
This should be considered the first "production" release. It still
needs a manual page, though.
