follows BSD/OS practice and ucd-snmp code (FreeBSD does it for specific
interfaces only).
was: if_lastchange get updated on every packet transmission/receipt.
now: if_lastchange get updated when IFF_UP is changed.
the link level name for the interface (ifp->if_sadl) is allocated
before ifp->if_addrlen is initialized, which could lead to allocating
too little space for the link level address.
Do this by splitting allocation of the link level name out of
if_attach() and into if_alloc_sadl(), which is normally called
by functions like ether_ifattach(). Network interfaces which
don't have a link-specific attach routine must call if_alloc_sadl()
themselves (example: gif).
Link level names are freed by if_free_sadl(), which can be called
from e.g. ether_ifdetach(). Drivers never need call if_free_sadl()
themselves as if_detach() will do it if it is not already done.
While here, add the ability to pass an AF_LINK address to
SIOCSIFADDR in ether_ioctl() (this is what caused me to notice
the problem that the above fixes).
Still use memcpy in receiving because we must use buffer fill mode
and many packets may share single receive buffer.
XXX: Workaround(?) for CXD3222: it fails to DMA for selfid packet according
to code placement. I'm not sure about the reason (cache? timing? bug?).
Fixed the bug: transmitter sometimes stop and OACTIVE bit of if_fw
never be cleared.
Fixed the bug: freeing free buffer.
Enable ieee1394_drain and ieee1394_watchdog for loss of fragment.
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.
Follow sys/dev/ieee1394/IMPLEMENTATION to enable if_fw.
