Add support for gigabit ethernet cards based on the NatSemi DP83820

and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000
copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with
this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.

This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.

This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nge
+.Nd "National Semiconductor PCI gigabit ethernet adapter driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device miibus"
+.Cd "device nge"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for various NICs based on the National Semiconductor
+DP83820 and DP83821 gigabit ethernet controller chips, including the
+following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
+.It
+SMC EZ Card 1000 (SMC9462TX)
+.It
+D-Link DGE-500T
+.It
+Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC
+.It
+Addrton AEG320T
+.El
+.Pp
+All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000mbps speeds over CAT5
+copper cable. The DP83820 supports TBI (ten bit interface) and GMII
+transceivers, which means it can be used with either copper of 1000baseX
+fiber applications. The DP83820 supports TCP/IP checksum offload and
+VLAN tagging/insertion as well as a 2048-bit multicast hash filter
+and up to 4 pattern match buffers.
+.Pp
+Most cards also use the DP83861 10/100/1000 copper gigabit tranceiver
+chip, which supports autonegotiation of 10, 100 and 1000mbps modes in
+full or half duplex.
+.Pp
+The DP83820 also supports jumbo frames, which can be configured
+via the interface MTY setting.
+Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
+Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tanges,
+such as file transfers and data streaming.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width 10baseTXUTP
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Sq full-duplex
+or
+.Sq half-duplex
+modes.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Sq full-duplex
+or
+.Sq half-duplex
+modes.
+.It 1000baseTX
+Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
+.Ar full-duplex
+and
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes are supported.
+.It 1000baseSX
+Set 1000Mbps (gigabit ethernet) operation.
+Both
+.Ar full-duplex
+and
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes are supported.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation
+.It half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver also supports one special link option for 1000baseTX cards:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxx
+.It link0
+With 1000baseTX cards, establishing a link between two ports requires
+that one port be configured as a master and the other a slave.
+With autonegotiation,
+the master/slave settings will be chosen automatically.
+However when manually selecting the link state, it is necessary to
+force one side of the link to be a master and the other a slave.
+The
+.Nm
+driver configures the ports as slaves by default.
+Setting the
+.Ar link0
+flag with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+will set a port as a master instead.
+.El
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
