OpenBSD).
While here, remove some dead code I added when I ported the code from OpenBSD.
IMPORTANT : You must download the 2.14.4 firmware or update your
sysutils/wpi-firmware2 to the last revision (2.14.4) or the driver will stop
working.
1/ Update the driver to use the new firmware images from Intel (2.14.3.)
2/ Read the list of supported channels from the EEPROM instead of having
it hard-coded in the driver.
3/ Limit output power to what is specified in EEPROM.
4/ Decrease output power for highest OFDM rates to reduce distortion.
5/ Automatically adjust output power to temperature changes for increased
throughput and range.
6/ Attach the adapter's onboard thermal sensor to the sensor framework.
7/ Replace 'magic' fields in structures with their correct definitions.
8/ Rewrite the firmware load in order to reduce the diff with OpenBSD one
NOTE2: you must install sysutils/wpi-firmware2 in order to use the new
driver
NOTE2: if you are using a channel not allowed by the regulatory domain
of your adapter, you will no longer be able to associate.
Thanks a lot for his hard work to damien@OpenBSD.org
(instead of panicing).
Also check to see if we have a Yukon2 type, and if we do, complain about
that explicitly earlier (and still fail the attach, but refer to msk(4)).
It would be better if we didn't have Yukon2 devices match in the sk(4)
device table, but in case people change the hardware without changing
device IDs, we might as well catch it.
chipset, which is not handled by this driver, but is handled by the msk(4)
driver. The DGE560T_2 entry is left alone for now--it might also need to
go to msk(4).
(Part 2: drivers)
* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.
