  Log:
  Add driver support for gigabit ethernet adapters based on the Alteon
  Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets. There are a _lot_ of OEM'ed
  gigabit ethernet adapters out there which use the Alteon chipset so
  this driver covers a fair amount of hardware. I know that it works with
  the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620, however it should also
  work with the DEC/Compaq EtherWORKS 1000, Silicon Graphics Gigabit
  ethernet board, NEC Gigabit Ethernet board and maybe even the IBM and
  and Sun boards. The Netgear board is the cheapest (~$350US) but still
  yields fairly good performance.
  
  Support is provided for jumbo frames with all adapters (just set the
  MTU to something larger than 1500 bytes), as well as hardware multicast
  filtering and vlan tagging (in conjunction with the vlan support in
  -current, which I should merge into -stable soon). There are some hooks
  for checksum offload support, but they're turned off for now since
  FreeBSD doesn't have an officially sanctioned way to support checksum
  offloading (yet).
  
  I have not added the 'device ti0' entry to GENERIC since the driver
  with all the firmware compiled in is quite large, and it doesn't really
  fit into the category of generic hardware.
