Paul Mackerras and the Australian National University have worked things
out, and as a result, Paul now owns copyright on all these files, with the

and... we managed to contact "Eric Rosenquist" <eric@rosenquist.com> through
the help of people who found him: first one was nick.stott@cogeco.ca

This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
- aging ang clear inactivity stations
- DTIM field in beacon/probe response.
- ignore IFF_PROMISC for hostap mode, since 802.11 has 3 address fields,
so that promisc mode is not required for AP function.
remove a test that has been obsoleted by the authentication failure
counter - enter slow retry mode always, not only if we already transfered
data successfully (the test was designed to disable retries when the
initial authentication setting was not correct, the auth failure counter
does this job better).
we don't know anything about with a PADT packet.
Use with care, this is pretty dangerous and will kill all userland PPPoE
implementations. Therefore it is not enabled by default nor added as
a commented out option to GENERIC kernels.
But it is highly usefull if you have a fixed IP, an ISP that does not use
LCP echo requests for link monitoring and you want to recover quickly after
a crash or otherwise ungracefull disconnect.
type for the driver, which will be used for 802.11 drivers.
Also add 2 APIs to get a list of available DLTs and use one for them.
BIOCGDLTLIST (struct bpf_dltlist)
BIOCSDLT (u_int)
optimization made last year. should solve PR 17867 and 10195.
IP_HDRINCL behavior of raw ip socket is kept unchanged. we may want to
provide IP_HDRINCL variant that does not swap endian.
program opens /dev/tun# and tun# has not been SIOCIFCREATE'd already,
it will be SIOCIFCREATE'd automatically. FreeBSD's tun interfaces
behave in a somewhat similar fashion.
- length was one off in names and secrets.
- add win 98 kludge but we keep it disabled for now.
- setup the authorization bit early so that we don't end up doing ppp
negotiations without authorization.
