The i++ loop from 1..1000 is too small on very fast machines like
PII 450 MHz. Increasing the loop from 1..100000 lets the machine
access PHY. After this patch it's possible to use a SMC PCI card
on a HP Kayak XA series PC Workstation. Workaround until this fix
was to enable debugging in the driver (#define EPIC_DEBUG 1).
Without that patch you get an undefined state:
while true
do
ifconfig -a | grep status:
done
The status messages flaps between twwo values, but not
"connected".

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
a BSD4.4Lite1 feature, not a FreeBSD feature. <sys/ioctl.h> is a
compatibility misfeature.
Moved NPCI ifdef. This file didn't compile if NPCI <= 0. It shouldn't
be configured in that case, but it is easy to support (mis)configuration
of drivers without buses by generating null objects, and many drivers
do it.
Removed unused includes.
