sc_rxnext.
Add sc_nrxdesc, the number of receive descriptors that we are
actually able to use. sc_nrxdesc will ordinarily equal RTW_RXQLEN.
If buffers are exhausted, sc_nrxdesc < RTW_RXQLEN. My next commit
will change dev/ic/rtw.c to deal with buffer exhaustion.
and adjust callers appropriately. cn_nameptr isn't NUL-terminated
for non-leaf components, so it's incorrect to assume it is always
NUL-terminated.
This fixes previous utf8-ization changes to not panic for cases
like 'echo */*/*.ps' in case the intermediate path components
are not in cache (yet).
the first. Otherwise we can overwrite parts of the TX ring that we shouldn't.
Kluge the basic rate setting for now.
Minor simplification to the dequeueing logic.
Set a shorter 802.11 Duration field, accordingly.
XXX We expect CTS/ACK at 1 Mb/s for 1 & 2 Mb/s stations; and CTS/ACK
at 2 Mb/s for 5.5 & 11 Mb/s stations. We need to check with the
802.11 standard. Rate negotiation may need to be overhauld for
standards compliance, too.
"power-off NIC" function, by adding a 'disable' argument to ath_stop.
Pass disable=0 to ath_stop() at the top of ath_init, so that we
don't power-off the Cardbus slot before resetting the HAL. Thanks
to Greg Troxel for his analysis of this bug.
* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.
Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?
Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.
`@progbits' part to obj_elf_section()... but in 2.15 obj_elf_section()
gained a demand_empty_rest_of_line(), and the trailing ", " tripped this
up. we can (and now do) use ``"progbits"'' instead of ``@progbits''.
