Add the ability to force ugen to attach with very high priority if "flags 1"
is specified. This can be used with the vendor and product locators to
force ugen to be used for certain devices.
Similarly, uhid only attaches if no other HID driver (ums or ukbd) wants it.
Again, "flags 1" will force uhid to attach anyway.
problems. Instead, use exec*() functions.
Replace PUSHOUT() macro and string buffers with a function that
operates on data structures.
If it is necessary to copy files into place from staging area, then use
pax to copy them.
Add functions in pexec.c to create a pipe for sending data to a child
process. Replace pipe code in create/perform.c with these functions.
Use these functions instead of command-line arguments when copying files
into place from staging area.
Three system() references remain: @exec, @unexec, and vsystem().
If the operator did not configure a "desired BSSID," then we simply
adopt the BSS node's new BSSID. If the operator configured a
"desired BSSID," the new BSSID is (probably) not the desired one,
so start scanning for it.
Note that a change of BSSID will occur as two ad hoc networks merge.
node. It's the right thing to do, but it is of pressing importance
because SampleRate's ath_rate_ctl_reset() will convert an unsupported
rate to an invalid rate-index of 0xff, and pass the index to
ath_hal_computetxtime(). ath_hal_computetxtime() does not tolerate
an invalid index; the CPU traps a divide-by-zero fault in
ath_hal_computetxtime().
1 Added new sysctl controls for debugging.
2 Improve detection & support for hardware WEP.
3 Revamp handling of transmit descriptor rings.
4 Reliably IFF_OACTIVE when transmit descriptors are available, to
stop the transmit section of the driver from freezing up.
5 Fix beacon transmission in adhoc and hostap modes. XXX There is
a wart in hostap mode, where beacons are transmitted at 1/2 the
correct rate. Load beacon descriptors when the RTW_INTR_BINT
interrupt arrives; schedule RTW_INTR_BINT 1ms ahead of the target
beacon time.
6 Recover more gracefully from tx/rx errors: avoid
transmitter/receiver/chip resets. Try to re-synchronize software
state with hardware state---e.g., load next descriptor pointer
from hardware.
7 Activate the transmit watchdog timer for beacons as well as other
packets.
8 Introduce rtw_idle() that waits for transmit DMA to finish; call
it before resetting the transmitter.
1 Reset both IFF_OACTIVE and the transmit watchdog timer in
appropriate places to avoid both wedging the transmit section
and spurious transmit timeouts.
2 Reset IFF_ALLMULTI at the top of atw_filter_setup so that the
NIC will filter the multicast packets we are not interested in
after we come out of promiscuous mode.
3 In atw_txdrain, count drained transmit descriptors to avoid
descriptor exhaustion.
these problems:
1) gzip -vt just prints the contents of a .Z file
2) gzip -vt will print OK even if the .gz file is corrupt
3) gzip -vt prints nothing with a .bz2 file
4) gzip can loop endlessly with a corrupt .bz2 file
- add a buch of PCI storage devices
- add firewire devices
- add some missing PCI network devices
- add serial and parallel PCI adapters
- add lpt0 at isa
- add com1 at isa
com0 not added for the benefit of serial console users (it will conflicts
with the Xen kernel).
XXX this means that setups with serial console on com1 will now break with the
default kernel.
Use userconf(4) (add -c to kernel command line) or change your setup to
com0 instead (most bios allows arbitrary mappings of com ports)
to 0x1 instead of 0xffff, so the kernel will trap accidental
dereferences. I don't set IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC to NULL because it
may have a distinct meaning in net80211. Thanks to Steve Woodford
for pointing out that 0xffff may be a valid kernel memory address
on x86.
1 Complete initialization of "faked up" ieee80211_nodes,
whose capabilities and other fields are wrong, when we
first receive a beacon or probe response from the
corresponding neighbor. This entails factoring
ieee80211_init_neighbor out of ieee80211_add_neighbor.
2 In adhoc mode, ic->ic_bss is present in the neighbors
table, ic->ic_sta, and it is not necessarily the wrong
node on which to mark statistics for a rx'd packet. Do
not reject ic->ic_bss and fake-up a new node without
comparing its MAC address with the address of the sender
in the rx'd packet. This fixes a memory leak.
