This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.
due to the fact that there are non-MII cards supported by the same
driver and I don't have all of the cards available for testing. There's
also the 3c905B-COMBO which has MII, AUI and BNC media ports all in one
package. Supporting the COMBO is difficult because we have to add the
10base5 and 10base2 media types to the same ifmedia struct as the
MII-attached types, however there is no way to force the miibus and
child PHYs into existence before xl_attach() completes, so there is
no ifmedia struct available in xl_attach(). What we do inistead is
use the mediainit method as a callback: when a child PHY is attached,
it calls the miibus mediainit routine which selects a default media.
This routing also calls the NIC driver's mediainit method (if it
implements one) at which point we can safely add the other media
types.
a module. Also modified the code to work on FreeBSD/alpha and added
device vr0 to the alpha GENERIC config.
While I was in the neighborhood, I noticed that I was still using
#define NFPX 1 in all of the Makefiles that I'd copied from the fxp
module. I don't really use #define Nfoo X so it didn't matter, but
I decided to customize this correctly anyway.
