I have decided to post a webrev for my mxfe driver, and I would like to
get folks to review it. This driver is for Macronix PMAC, and Lite-On
PNIC-II chips. They aren't terribly common, but the Linksys v2 cards
were a PNIC-II. (I have three NIC supported by this driver, a Linksys
LNE-100TX v2, a Kingston KNE-111TX, and an evaluation board that
Macronix gave me a few years ago.)
The webrev is at

This is a GLDv3 driver, which means it is useful for VLANs (I've
verified that it works with VLANs all the way up to full MTU frames),
and it works with IP instances. Which is incredibly useful. (IP
instances with IPsec was the killer application that caused me to do the
work to update this driver to GLDv3.)
If someone wants this on S10, we could do a backport, but it would have
to altered to use the previous generation of the GLDv3.
Anyway I'd appreciate reviews, and I'll probably commit this to ON once
I get enough reviews and approval from whatever committees are present.
Garret,
just curious, why don't you use new style interrupt framework (ddi_intr_*) ?
I mean I guess you wrote the driver some time ago, presumably before
the ddi_intr_* framework was introduced, but this work is a new bits
being integrated into ON. Do you think it would worth it to rewrite it to the
new framework ?
