keeps us from stomping on ourselves.
Say we're in the middle of re-evaluating a loop (and sleeping) when a
command completes, or a timer refires, and this *other* thread decides
*it* wants to start re-evaluating the loop. Bad news.
We have to be a bit careful- if we can't acquire the MBOX semaphore at
interrupt level, we will simulate a host interface error. This is a bit
of a temp workaround. There's some work underway driven by a NetBSD
commercial user that will try and force most mailbox stuff into a
part A/part B interrupt driven model.
0xfe on my gateway 2000 circa 1993). That should not affect broken controllers
that choke on the kbc_auxtest, because for those the write/read test succeeds.
Clean up one bug in a DPRINTF in arrs_input which could panic on some packets.
Gut the ack/response functionality and clean it up so all packets get checked
correctly and the abuf struct isn't used once the ab_cb has happened (there
still could be ack packets waiting to be processed at that time).
Finally, add some documentation explaining read/write/inreg and their
purpose/argument calling.
Although WEP is used in Windows also in an old firm,
because WEP is processed by the windows driver side.
If Prism2 Firm version is more than 0.8.3, WEP does work without 'Promiscuous ON'.
Roaming mode can change value into 'firm mode' and disable.
Authentication mode can change into 'Open System authentication'
and 'Shared Key Authentication' with Prism2 chip.
wi_get_id() was introduced in order that chip might judge automatically
whether it is Prism2 chip. Therefore, a pp_prism2 entry in
"struct wi_pcmcia_product" became unnecessary.
DP83820. The DP83820 definitions are wrapped in #ifdef DP83820, since
there are enough differences that a single binary object would not be
able to efficiently drive both the DP83815 and DP83820.
DIAGNOSTIC/DEBUG from the kernel. This helped to boost the performance
on my test machine from ~5KB/s to like 800KB/s for ftp test, and
to like 700KB/s for netio test. I wouldn't have imagined the options
are THAT costly ....
