I'd love for it to go into -stable. I've been hand patching it every time I sup. (yes, I know I can make it not overwrite certain files...) I've got the new dc21040.h and if_de.c and the pcisupport.patch at ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/dc21040.tar.gz, but it would probably be better to talk to Matt Thomas and get the stuff from him. I know he brought up the issue that dc21x4x based cards have with the way ifconfig works. Basically, the -link[012] flags aren't really the best way to deal with all the options these cards offer. You have physical media selection {bnc,aui,tp}, dual mode cards {10bT,100bT}, and full duplex support. I think it would be really nifty if the driver could do media/protocol autodetection, but I agree that there is a need to be able to set this stuff by hand. I'm not sure what he will want to do as far as updating the FreeBSD driver we are using now, but the changes I'm using right now seem to work quite well. Matt? You out there?
