* Add driver support (and man page) for PCI fast ethernet cards basedwpaul1999-01-092-2/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT, /sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT accordingly. For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.) Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.) FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX). And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince 3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit ethernet hardware. Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside it).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
