An early Christmas present: add driver support for a whole bunch of
PCI fast ethernet adapters, plus man pages. if_pn.c: Netgear FA310TX model D1, LinkSys LNE100TX, Matrox FastNIC 10/100, various other PNIC devices if_mx.c: NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100 (Macronix 98713A), various other boards based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A and 98725 chips if_vr.c: D-Link DFE530-TX, other boards based on the VIA Rhine and Rhine II chips (note: the D-Link and certain other cards that actually use a Rhine II chip still return the PCI device ID of the Rhine I. I don't know why, and it doesn't really matter since the driver treats both chips the same anyway.) if_wb.c: Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cards based on the Winbond W89C840F chip (the Trendware card is identical to the sample boards Winbond sent me, so who knows how many clones there are running around) All drivers include support for ifmedia, BPF and hardware multicast filtering. Also updated GENERIC, LINT, RELNOTES.TXT, userconfig and sysinstall device list. I also have a driver for the ASIX AX88140A in the works.

+Macronix 98713/98715/98725 fast ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device mx0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Macronix 98713, 98713A, 98715, 98715A and
+98725 fast ethernet controller chips. This includes the NDC
+Communications SOHOware SFA110, the SVEC PN102-TX
+fast ethernet card, and various other adapters.
+.Pp
+The Macronix chips use bus master DMA and are designed to be
+DEC 'tulip' workalikes. The original 98713 had an MII bus for
+controlling an external PHY, however the 98713A and up use an
+internal transceiver with NWAY support. The Macronix parts are
+advertised as being register compatible with the DEC 21x4x
+controllers. All of the Macronix controllers support both
+10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:

+.It "mx%d: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "mx%d: no memory for tx list"
+The driver fauled to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
+allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
+.It "mx%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
+This message applies only to adapters which support power
+management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power
+mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
+out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of
+its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
+it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it
+correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
+the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
+enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If
+you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
+the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
+warm boot to have the device properly configured.
+.Pp
+Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
+operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting
+.Fx ,
+the card should be configured correctly.

+.Sh BUGS
+The Macronix application notes claim that in order to put the
+chips in normal operation, the driver must write a certian magic
+number into the CSR16 register. The numbers are documented in
+the app notes, but the exact meaning of the bits is not.
+.Pp
+The 98713A seems to have a problem with 10Mbps full duplex mode.
+The transmitter works but the receiver tends to produce many
+unexplained errors leading to very poor overall performance. The
+98715A does not exhibit this problem. All other modes on the
+98713A seem to work correctly.

+cards.
+.Pp
+The VIA Rhine chips use bus master DMA and have a software interface
+designed to resemble that of the DEC 21x4x "tulip" chips. The major
+differences are that the receive filter in the Rhine chips is
+much simpler and is programmed through registers rather than by
+downloading a special setup frame through the transmit DMA engine,
+and that transmit and receive DMA buffers must be longword
+aligned. The Rhine chips are meant to be interfaced with external

+The

+If buffers are not aligned correctly, the chip will round the

+This buffer copying impairs transmit performance on slower systems but can't
+be avoided. On faster machines (e.g. a Pentium II), the performance
+impact is much less noticable.

+Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wb0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet controller
+chip. This includes the Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cheap
+boards. The 840F should not be confused with the 940F, which is
+an NE2000 clone and only supports 10Mbps speeds.
+.Pp
+The Winbond controller uses bus master DMA and is designed to be
+a DEC 'tulip' workalike. It differs from the standard DEC design
+in several ways: the control and status registers are spaced 4
+bytes apart instead of 8, and the receive filter is programmed through
+registers rather than by downloading a special setup frame via
+the transmit DMA engine. Using an external PHY, the Winbond chip
+supports both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options. This is only
+supported if the PHY chip attached to the Winbond controller
+supports NWAY autonegotiation. The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
+.Pa /etc/rc.conf
+fine.
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex modes.
+.It 100baseTX

+The driver fauled to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when

+.It "wb%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
+This message applies only to adapters which support power
+management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power
+mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
+out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of
+its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
+it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it
+correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
+the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
+enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If
+you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
+the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
+warm boot to have the device properly configured.

+.Sh BUGS
+The Winbond chip seems to behave strangely in some cases when the
+link partner switches modes. If for example both sides are set to
+10Mbps half-duplex, and the other end is changed to 100Mbps
+full-duplex, the Winbond's receiver suddenly starts writing trash
+all over the RX descriptors. The
+.Nm
+driver handles this by forcing a reset of both the controller
+chip and attached PHY. This is drastic, but it appears to be the
+only way to recover properly from this condition.

+Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wb0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Winbond W89C840F fast ethernet controller
+chip. This includes the Trendware TE100-PCIE and various other cheap
+boards. The 840F should not be confused with the 940F, which is
+an NE2000 clone and only supports 10Mbps speeds.
+.Pp
+The Winbond controller uses bus master DMA and is designed to be
+a DEC 'tulip' workalike. It differs from the standard DEC design
+in several ways: the control and status registers are spaced 4
+bytes apart instead of 8, and the receive filter is programmed through
+registers rather than by downloading a special setup frame via
+the transmit DMA engine. Using an external PHY, the Winbond chip
+supports both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options. This is only
+supported if the PHY chip attached to the Winbond controller
+supports NWAY autonegotiation. The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
+.Pa /etc/rc.conf
+fine.
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex modes.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes.
+.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
+Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
+by the adapter.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "wb%d: couldn't map memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "wb%d: couldn't map interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "wb%d: watchdog timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.It "wb%d: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "wb%d: no memory for tx list"
+The driver fauled to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
+allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
+.It "wb%d: chip is in D3 power state -- setting to D0"
+This message applies only to adapters which support power
+management. Some operating systems place the controller in low power
+mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip
+out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of
+its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set
+it back to full power mode in time, it won't be able to configure it
+correctly. The driver tries to detect this condition and bring
+the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be
+enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If
+you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach
+the device as a network interface, you will have to perform second
+warm boot to have the device properly configured.
+.Pp
+Note that this condition only occurs when warm booting from another
+operating system. If you power down your system prior to booting
+.Fx ,
+the card should be configured correctly.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 3.0 .
+.Sh AUTHOR
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu .
+.Sh BUGS
+The Winbond chip seems to behave strangely in some cases when the
+link partner switches modes. If for example both sides are set to
+10Mbps half-duplex, and the other end is changed to 100Mbps
+full-duplex, the Winbond's receiver suddenly starts writing trash
+all over the RX descriptors. The
+.Nm
+driver handles this by forcing a reset of both the controller
+chip and attached PHY. This is drastic, but it appears to be the
+only way to recover properly from this condition.
