>Description:
Recently, we had a need to put a multiport board on a FreeBSD system.
After looking through the release notes and handbook, we decided that
a Stallion EasyIO board was the best choice.  Unfortunately, the
documentation doesn't tell you that only the EasyIO board with CD1400
chipset is supported.  Stallion has not made the board with that
chipset since 1998.  The new boards use the SC26198 chipset, which
is not supported by the existing stl driver in the kernel.  In
addition, the docs indicate that PCI variants of the board are supported,
but only PCI variants of the ECH board are supported in the standard
kernel.

Checking on Stallion's ftp site [ftp.stallion.com] revealed a FreeBSD
driver in the unsupported section.  This driver, however, was not
compatible with the version of FreeBSD that we were running.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install a new Stallion EasyIO PCI board in a FBSD system running 4.1.1.
Build a kernel with the stl device included.  Reboot.  Note that the
EasyIO board is not recognized.
>Fix:
Pick up this file:  
http://www.whizbanglabs.com/~jlp/stalbsd-4.1.1.tar.gz
You should also probably grab this:
ftp://ftp.stallion.com/drivers/unsupported/FreeBSD/stalbsd-2.0.0.tar.gz
which contains drivers for FBSD 3.x.

Note that my patch only fixes stallion.c, it does nothing for
istallion.c (the stli driver).
