USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.
Highlights:
- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory

harmful as well as bogus, since it includes "isa_if.h" which is not

Some interface botches went away, leaving the macros unused outside of
the implementation of interrupt masking, and it was silly for the
implementation to use the macros in only one place each.
apm_default_resume() to sometimes set a very wrong time.
(1) Accesses to the RTC index and data registers were not atomic enough.
Interrupts were not masked. This was only good enough until an
interrupt handler (rtcintr()) started accessing the RTC in FreeBSD-2.0.
(2) Access to the block of time registers in inittodr() was not atomic
enough. inittodr() has 244us to read the time registers. Interrupts
were not masked. This was only good enough until something (apm)
started calling inittodr() after boot time in FreeBSD-2.0.
The fix for (2) also makes the timecounter update more atomic, although
this is currently unimportant due to the low resolution of the RTC.

driver, but is presently non-functional because we are using the

The UPAGES have not been there since Jan '96, but the hole was preserved
for BSD/OS binary compatability. This has been fixed other ways (%ebx
now has a pointer to PS_STRINGS), and the stack is nowhere near where
it used to be so this hack isn't required anymore.
These drivers were cloned from the ed and ep drivers back in 1994
when PCMCIA cards were a very new thing and we had no other support
for such devices. They treated the PCIC (the chip which controls the
PCCARD slot) as part of their device and generally hacked their way
to success. They have significantly bit-rotted relative to their
ancestor drivers (ed & ep) and they were a dead-end on the evolution
path to proper PCCARD support in FreeBSD.
They have been terminally broken since August 18 where mdodd forgot
them and nobody seems to have missed them enough to fix them since.
I found no outstanding PRs against these drivers.

by the ones it replaces, as well as many DEC/Intel 21143 10/100 cards.
This also completes my quest to convert things to miibus and add
Alpha support.
device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

Add MD_ROOT and MD_ROOT_SIZE options to the md driver.
Make the md driver handle MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE options for compatibility.
Add md driver to GENERIC, PCCARD and LINT.
This is a cleanup which removes the need for some of the worse hacks in
MFS: We really want to have a rootvnode but MFS on a preloaded image
doesn't really have one. md is a true device, so it is less trouble.
This has been tested with make release, and if people remember to add
the "md" pseudo-device to their kernels, PicoBSD should be just fine
as well. If people have no other use for MFS, it can be removed from
the kernel.

Which is actually 'correct' is debatable, but consistency and
following the spec was deemed more important in this case.

Since an osigcontext is smaller, if you check for a valid (much larger sized)
ucontext_t and it fails, we bogusly would reject the osigcontext as per
rev 1.378. Instead, check for osigcontext range validity first, and
ucontext_t later. This unbreaks Netscape.
