[I've sent it to dg and will be uploading it to freefall later tonight.
Read this message completely. For those people who have cards that
just don't work, I'd really like you to try this driver and send me
the results.]
This is a new, very different, de driver. It's the one in NetBSD and
most of the bugs seem to have been shaken out.
I've tested with
21040, 21041, SMC9332DST, DE500-AA, DE500-XA, DE500-BA (21143!).
This driver requires the if_media support recently added to NetBSD.
It is not optional.
It took me less that 15 minutes to get a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system with
ifmedia running.
You need:
sys/net/if_media.[ch] (small tweak needed to if_media.h
NetBSD uses _KERNEL instead of KERNEL).
Add SIOC[GS]IFMEDIA to sys/sys/sockio.h
Add struct ifmediareq and ifr_media to ifres in sys/net/if.h
Add entry for net/if_media.c to sys/conf/files
% uname -a
FreeBSD whydos.lkg.dec.com 2.1.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #2: Fri Mar 21
17:14:15 1997 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/DECFDDI i386
% ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
media: autoselect (100baseTX) status: active
inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
This was done by using the ifconfig from NetBSD. No changes where made,
just compiled it.
Cheers,
