The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.
This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

time, and this is used to reseed the random number generator at
boot time.
NOTE - this has no hope of working if you halt(); you need to
execute rc.shutdown to get the entropy stash.
- Remove unit numbers in config lines.
- Remove all of logger lines and add logstr lines for some cards. This
changes reduced file size from 84k to 45k.
- Use '/sbin/ifconfig $device delete' instead of /etc/pccard_ether_remove
which haven't merge from PAO yet.
- Cosmetic changes.
MAKE_foo for things like MAKE_KERBEROS etc. Use that. I managed to
confuse myself last time and made make.conf different to the code. ;-(

wheel to trash logfiles is not exactly good security policy. There have
been several gid wheel holes in ports. Various other files were changed
as well (eg: the locate database were set to more restrictive modes (444)
by their generation scripts) so this should be safe for them. utmp and
wtmp are mode 644 already on all the systems we checked.

Seems to work great in the type II cf<->pccard adapter that came with
the card. Others have reported with different chipsets for the pccard
bridge that additional support is needed to make this card work with
the 3.3 volts it needs.
o The Shining PMIDE-ASC card is also used in Road Warrior's Bullet Drive, so
add that to the comments.
o Eiger Lab's fujitsu based ethernet card: EPX-10BT (thanks to Ryan Losh for
donating the card to the cause).
o Add place holder entry for the 3Com Megahertz 3CXEM556. It doesn't work
yet, but that will change in time.
I've seen some script kiddie tools out there that fake the timestamps
but don't preserve the inode number.
Note - this will cause a lot of output the first time it is run!

Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3
synth on an AWE card works.

setup still depends on /usr. In addition, prefix(8) and gifconfig(8)
are in /usr/sbin. Should we move these into /sbin?
