on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT, /sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT accordingly. For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.) Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.) FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX). And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince 3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit ethernet hardware. Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside it). |

TARGET AUDIENCE:
----------------
This release is aimed primarily at early-adopters and the various
other folks who want to get involved with the ongoing development
of FreeBSD and are willing to deal with a few bumps in the road.
We do our best to ensure that each snapshot works as advertised,
but tracking -current is a process which frequently has its off
days.
If you're both technically proficient and know exactly what you're
getting into here (e.g. you've been following -current) then this
snapshot is probably for you. If you're more interested in doing
business with FreeBSD than in playing with the cutting edge of
technology, however, then 2.2.x is almost certainly your best bet.
