If you're running a -stable machine and using a dc-supported NIC, I'd
appreciate it greatly if you could try out the new if_dc.c and if_dcreg.h
available from http://www.silby.com/patches/if_dc/

This is a direct MFC of -current's if_dc driver, bringing back PAE
support, some minor fixes, and perhaps a few new bugs. :)  As such, we
need wide testing in order to make sure that it does not cause any
problems.  Even if you're not using PAE support, I'd appreciate your
testing.  When you send me your results, please include the relevant dmesg
output, such as:

dc0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xe7811000-0xe78113ff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:20:78:0f:a0:a6
miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Thanks,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
