* Add the card ID for the Am79c975 PCnet/FAST III card. This is a variantwpaul2000-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | of the Am79c973 with "AlertIT Technology," whatever that is. Also mention support for the PCnet/FAST III cards in the documentation. The PCnet/FAST III chips have integrated 10/100 PHYs.
* Add support for the AMD Am79c976 PCnet/PRO controller chip. For nowwpaul2000-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | this just involves adding the chip ID to the supported list: the PCnet/PRO is compatible with the PCnet/FAST+ and friends and should "just work" with this driver. Also try to handle mbuf allocation failures in the receive handler more gracefully.
* Make some small line-break tweaks.wpaul2000-09-211-4/+4

* Add a new driver for the AMD PCnet/FAST, FAST+ and Home PCI adapters.wpaul2000-09-201-0/+159
Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode. The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify it so that it too will me MI.) The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.
