- Follow the lead of dcphy(4) and pnphy(4) and move the reminder of the PHY
drivers that only ever attach to a particular MAC driver, i.e. inphy(4),
ruephy(4) and xlphy(4), to the directory where the respective MAC driver
lives and only compile it into the kernel when the latter is also there,
also removing it from miibus.ko and moving it into the module of the
respective MAC driver.
- While at it, rename exphy.c, which comes from NetBSD where the MAC driver
it corresponds to also is named ex(4) instead of xl(4) but that in FreeBSD
actually identifies itself as xlphy(4), and its function names accordingly
for consistency.
- Additionally while at it, fix some minor style issues like whitespace
in the register headers and add multi-inclusion protection to inphyreg.h.

Move the xl driver form sys/pci to sys/dev/xl for consistency.

Remove bridge(4) from the tree. if_bridge(4) is a full functional
replacement and has additional features which make it superior.

Use a consistent style and one much closer to the rest of /usr/src

Use .include <bsd.kmod.mk> to get to ../../*/conf/kmod.mk instead of
encoding the relative path.


59951 04-May-2000 peter

Pull in sys/conf/kmod.mk, rather than /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.

Zap KMODDEPS line


56735 28-Jan-2000 bde

Add ${DEBUG_FLAGS} to CFLAGS in bsd.kmod.mk, not in scattered module
makefiles. Bad examples in fxp/Makefile keep getting copied to new
makefiles.


53846 28-Nov-1999 bde

Removed special rules for building and cleaning device interface files
and empty options files. The rules are now generated automatically in
bsd.kmod.mk. Cleaned up related things ($S and ${CLEANFILES}).


51712 27-Sep-1999 peter

Zap some unused echo "#define NFOO 1" > foo.h style defunct stuff.


51704 27-Sep-1999 peter

Don't generate 'bpf.h' since it's not used.

Change the name of the installed KLM to contain a leading "if_".
Except for miibus which is now installed as miibus.ko.

Convert the 3Com XL driver to miibus. This one is a little tricky
due to the fact that there are non-MII cards supported by the same
driver and I don't have all of the cards available for testing. There's
also the 3c905B-COMBO which has MII, AUI and BNC media ports all in one
package. Supporting the COMBO is difficult because we have to add the
10base5 and 10base2 media types to the same ifmedia struct as the
MII-attached types, however there is no way to force the miibus and
child PHYs into existence before xl_attach() completes, so there is
no ifmedia struct available in xl_attach(). What we do inistead is
use the mediainit method as a callback: when a child PHY is attached,
it calls the miibus mediainit routine which selects a default media.
This routing also calls the NIC driver's mediainit method (if it
implements one) at which point we can safely add the other media
types.

Convert the VIA Rhine driver to newbus and set it up to be compiled as
a module. Also modified the code to work on FreeBSD/alpha and added
device vr0 to the alpha GENERIC config.

While I was in the neighborhood, I noticed that I was still using
#define NFPX 1 in all of the Makefiles that I'd copied from the fxp
module. I don't really use #define Nfoo X so it didn't matter, but
I decided to customize this correctly anyway.

Create module directories for the xl, ti, tl and sk drivers and add
them to the Makefile so that modules will be generated for /modules.
