This now provides slightly more functionality than the FreeBSD layer1-newbus
interface. It was meant to be a simple change to one header and a few
c files, but the change rippled all through various stuff.
To prevent a change to the kernel<->userland interface right now the kernel
is now lying about card types to userland (but who cares). This will be fixed
when the userland interface changes, after layer 3 <-> layer 4 has been
fixed.
Functional changes:
Provide a clean interface for hardware drivers to attach to the upper
layers. This will need another small change in the B-channel handling
when a similar change to the layer 3 <-> layer 4 interface happens.
Avoid passing indices into global arrays of pointers around, instead pass
the pointers itself. Don't code hardware driver types by predefined magic
numbers (think LKM). Prepare for detachable drivers (think pcmcia).
While there remove some sets of function pointers always pointing to the
same function (meant to be the configurable set of D channel protocol
handlers). It is unlikely another supported D-channel protocol will fit into
that (maximal layer interface) abstraction. When we get support for another
protocol, we will need to come up with a workable interface. Besides, the
old implementation was, uhm, strange.
including layer_*.c if "options LKM". This is not the right way to fix
it, but we have as yet no standardized mechanism to add a "LKM code
library" to fill in gaps in the monolithic kernel's code.
Problem noted by <tron@netbsd.org>.
This is the kernel part (userland to follow soon) of the latest (and
very probably last) release (version 0.96) of ISDN4BSD. ISDN4BSD has a
homepage at http://www.freebsd-support.de/i4b/.
It gives the user various ways to use the isdn connection: raw data (via
the i4brbch "raw b-channel" device), ppp (via the isp "isdn PPP" device),
voice/answering machine (the i4btel "telephone" device) and ip over isdn
(the ipr device, "IP over raw ISDN").
Supported are a bunch of common and older cards, more to be added soon
after some cleanup. Currently only the european E-DSS1 variant of the
ISDN D channel protocol is supported.
pci_attach_args *" instead of from four separate parameters which in
all cases were extracted from the same "struct pci_attach_args".
This both simplifies the driver api, and allows for alternate PCI
interrupt mapping schemes, such as one using the tables described in
the Intel Multiprocessor Spec which describe interrupt wirings for
devices behind pci-pci bridges based on the device's location rather
the bridge's location.
Tested on alpha and i386; welcome to 1.5Q
This is very adhoc work for IETF meeting.
- Since it seems that 'an' and 'wi' have similar hardware, low level
functions should be shared.
- There are PCI/ISA cards of Aironet but not supported yet.
- The wiconfig interface is changed so that wiconfig cannot be used.
- 'ancontrol' of FreeBSD is not ported.
- Only infrastructure mode is tested.
- WEP is not supported.
Though I only have an Aironet card, Cisco card should be expected to work.
Current status:
Only OHCI chip is supported (fwohci).
ping (IPv4) works with Sony's implementation (SmartConnect) on Win98.
sometimes works but not stable.
Not implemented yet:
IRM (Isochronous Resource Manager) functionality.
Link layer fragmentation.
Topology map.
More to do:
clean ups
MCAP
charactor device part
dhcp
There is no entry in GENERIC config file yet.
