packets into a single buffer, and set the DC_TX_COALESCE flag for the
Davicom DM9102 chip. I thought I had escaped this problem, but... This
chip appears to silently corrupt or discard transmitted frames when
using scatter/gather DMA (i.e. DMAing each packet fragment in place
with a separate descriptor). The only way to insure reliable transmission
is to coalesce transmitted packets into a single cluster buffer. (There
may also be an alignment constraint here, but mbuf cluster buffers are
naturally aligned on 2K boundaries, which seems to be good enough.)
The DM9102 driver for Linux written by Davicom also uses this workaround.
Unfortunately, the Davicom datasheet has no errata section describing
this or any other apparently known defect.

don't have an interface index that's the same as the if_msghdr
interface index.
This prevents the occasional perror("SIOCGIFFLAGS") from appearing
at boot time.
While I'm there:
Make a couple of error messages more useful.
Add a missing include.
Add some braces to silence gccs dumb complaints.
Add some consts
Ansify decls
Add copyright to pmap_check.h (well, you could say it's been rewritten)
drive the transmitter, we have to check the interface's send queue in the
TX end of frame handler (i.e. the usb bulk out callback) and push out new
transmissions if the queue has packets in it and the transmitter is
ready. But the txeof handler is also called from a USB callback running
at splusb() too.
Grrr.
Those pages which have not been transcribed are referenced as
gracefully as possible.
There is no perfect section for the ntp_* files, which document
configuration options for the NTP suite, so I'm putting them in
the same section as the pages for the utilities themselves.
instead of -2. This (I believe) caused static wirings to not match.
This should fix Bill Pechter's problem but we'll see.

This is a new feature of groff and is a html driver for groff.
From the manual page:
"grohtml translates the output of GNU troff to html."
This is very interesting for people working on documentation.
points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
Use IFQ_MAXLEN instead. This seemed like a good idea at the time since
most 3c509s have all of 2k for their TX fifo. My intention was to revisit
ifq_maxlen and auto-scale it or something.

I've got some tweaks that move the TX speed up to the RX speed but I've
got to groom them from the mess I've made of my source tree.

ddb is entered. Don't refer to `in_Debugger' to see if we
are in the debugger. (The variable used to be static in Debugger()
and wasn't updated if ddb is entered via traps and panic anyway.)
- Don't refer to `in_Debugger'.
- Add `db_active' to i386/i386/db_interface.d (as in
alpha/alpha/db_interface.c).
- Remove cnpollc() stub from ddb/db_input.c.
- Add the dbctl function to syscons, pcvt, and sio. (The function for
pcvt and sio is noop at the moment.)

(The final version was tweaked by me and not reviewed by bde. Thus,
if there is any error in this commit, that is entirely of mine, not
his.)
