which differ slightly from the Macronix MX98715AEC chip on the sample
adapter that I have in that the multicast hash table is only 128 bits
wide instead of 512. New adapters are popping up with this chip, and
due to improper handling of the smaller hash table, broadcast packets
were not being received correctly.

The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).
I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.

Force alphas to prefer mem mapping as the default.
Basically, we have a pointer to a function which we can call which will
return us a pointer to firmware for the card we have. We call this function
(if it's non-NULL) with the address of our mdvec f/w pointer.
The way this works is that if ispfw (as a module or a static) is loaded,
it initializes the pointer in isp_pci, so we can call into to it to fetch
a pointer to a f/w set.
If ispfw is MOD_UNLOADed, it's retained a pointer to our mdvec f/w pointers,
which then get zeroed out so we don't have any references to data that's
now gone from kernel memory. Removing the f/w saves ~360KBytes.
Alas, there is no autounload mechanism that works for is here.

The programming api is a subset of the Linux api and is only intended to
be enough for the X server to use. There is also an in-kernel api for the
use of other kernel modules such as the 3D DRI.
21143 chips, I accidentally removed the DC_MII_REDUCED_POLL flag
for all 21143 cards. This caused problems with timer-instigated
TCP retransmits, which happened to occur at the same time as an
MII poll tick on MII-based cards (e.g. D-Link DFE-570TX). Fixed this,
plus made some other cleanups. The autoneg fixes for the non-MII
cards still work. Also tested the PNIC II now that I have one again.

workalike chips (Macronix 98713A/98715 and PNIC II). Timing is somewhat
critical: you need to bring the link as soon as possible after NWAY
is done, and the old one second polling interval was too long. Now
we poll every 10th of a second until NWAY completes (at which point
we return to the 1 second interval again to keep an eye on the link
state).
I tested all the other cards I had on hand to make sure I didn't bust
any of them and they seem to work (including the MII-based 21143 card).
This should fix some autoneg problems with DE500-BA cards and the
built-in 10/100 ethernet on some alpha systems.

Apparently not all switches are as picky about the timing.)

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers

The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.
