XXX: Adapter seems to be generally functional, but at least on -nb5
WPA didn't work very well (managed to get authenticated and sometimes
an address via dhcp, but that's it). I can't currently test non-wpa
networks, so don't know if it's an issue only with wpa or with the
connectivity in general.
1. expand the USB_ATTACH_SETUP macro (requested by jmcneill)
2. reorder the attach function so that the first thing it does is print
newlines.
3. after this, we can call usbd_devinfo_alloc(), which polls the device
allowing a context switch, and aprint_normal() the device information.
this avoids problems where autoconf messages are getting mixed up.
When a link-layer address changes (e.g., ifconfig ex0 link
02🇩🇪ad:be:ef:02 active), send a gratuitous ARP and/or a Neighbor
Advertisement to update the network-/link-layer address bindings
on our LAN peers.
Refuse a change of ethernet address to the address 00:00:00:00:00:00
or to any multicast/broadcast address. (Thanks matt@.)
Reorder ifnet ioctl operations so that driver ioctls may inherit
the functions of their "class"---ether_ioctl(), fddi_ioctl(), et
cetera---and the class ioctls may inherit from the generic ioctl,
ifioctl_common(), but both driver- and class-ioctls may override
the generic behavior. Make network drivers share more code.
Distinguish a "factory" link-layer address from others for the
purposes of both protecting that address from deletion and computing
EUI64.
Return consistent, appropriate error codes from network drivers.
Improve readability. KNF.
*** Details ***
In if_attach(), always initialize the interface ioctl routine,
ifnet->if_ioctl, if the driver has not already initialized it.
Delete if_ioctl == NULL tests everywhere else, because it cannot
happen.
In the ioctl routines of network interfaces, inherit common ioctl
behaviors by calling either ifioctl_common() or whichever ioctl
routine is appropriate for the class of interface---e.g., ether_ioctl()
for ethernets.
Stop (ab)using SIOCSIFADDR and start to use SIOCINITIFADDR. In
the user->kernel interface, SIOCSIFADDR's argument was an ifreq,
but on the protocol->ifnet interface, SIOCSIFADDR's argument was
an ifaddr. That was confusing, and it would work against me as I
make it possible for a network interface to overload most ioctls.
On the protocol->ifnet interface, replace SIOCSIFADDR with
SIOCINITIFADDR. In ifioctl(), return EPERM if userland tries to
invoke SIOCINITIFADDR.
In ifioctl(), give the interface the first shot at handling most
interface ioctls, and give the protocol the second shot, instead
of the other way around. Finally, let compatibility code (COMPAT_OSOCK)
take a shot.
Pull device initialization out of switch statements under
SIOCINITIFADDR. For example, pull ..._init() out of any switch
statement that looks like this:
switch (...->sa_family) {
case ...:
..._init();
...
break;
...
default:
..._init();
...
break;
}
Rewrite many if-else clauses that handle all permutations of IFF_UP
and IFF_RUNNING to use a switch statement,
switch (x & (IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING)) {
case 0:
...
break;
case IFF_RUNNING:
...
break;
case IFF_UP:
...
break;
case IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING:
...
break;
}
unifdef lots of code containing #ifdef FreeBSD, #ifdef NetBSD, and
#ifdef SIOCSIFMTU, especially in fwip(4) and in ndis(4).
In ipw(4), remove an if_set_sadl() call that is out of place.
In nfe(4), reuse the jumbo MTU logic in ether_ioctl().
Let ethernets register a callback for setting h/w state such as
promiscuous mode and the multicast filter in accord with a change
in the if_flags: ether_set_ifflags_cb() registers a callback that
returns ENETRESET if the caller should reset the ethernet by calling
if_init(), 0 on success, != 0 on failure. Pull common code from
ex(4), gem(4), nfe(4), sip(4), tlp(4), vge(4) into ether_ioctl(),
and register if_flags callbacks for those drivers.
Return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL for inappropriate ioctls. In
zyd(4), use ENXIO instead of ENOTTY to indicate that the device is
not any longer attached.
Add to if_set_sadl() a boolean 'factory' argument that indicates
whether a link-layer address was assigned by the factory or some
other source. In a comment, recommend using the factory address
for generating an EUI64, and update in6_get_hw_ifid() to prefer a
factory address to any other link-layer address.
Add a routing message, RTM_LLINFO_UPD, that tells protocols to
update the binding of network-layer addresses to link-layer addresses.
Implement this message in IPv4 and IPv6 by sending a gratuitous
ARP or a neighbor advertisement, respectively. Generate RTM_LLINFO_UPD
messages on a change of an interface's link-layer address.
In ether_ioctl(), do not let SIOCALIFADDR set a link-layer address
that is broadcast/multicast or equal to 00:00:00:00:00:00.
Make ether_ioctl() call ifioctl_common() to handle ioctls that it
does not understand.
In gif(4), initialize if_softc and use it, instead of assuming that
the gif_softc and ifp overlap.
Let ifioctl_common() handle SIOCGIFADDR.
Sprinkle rtcache_invariants(), which checks on DIAGNOSTIC kernels
that certain invariants on a struct route are satisfied.
In agr(4), rewrite agr_ioctl_filter() to be a bit more explicit
about the ioctls that we do not allow on an agr(4) member interface.
bzero -> memset. Delete unnecessary casts to void *. Use
sockaddr_in_init() and sockaddr_in6_init(). Compare pointers with
NULL instead of "testing truth". Replace some instances of (type
*)0 with NULL. Change some K&R prototypes to ANSI C, and join
lines.
+ make sure ni->ni_txrate is always initialized to a meaningful value by
redefining ic->ic_newassoc.
this should prevent "bogus xmit rate" panics when operating in HostAP

identify sockaddr_dl abuse that remains in the kernel, especially
the potential for overwriting memory past the end of a sockaddr_dl
with, e.g., memcpy(LLADDR(), ...).
USB problems - just return in detach if the softc appears not to be
filled in completely.
(This is a common problem with usb and probably other drivers which
support detach; we need some API support to deal with this cleanly.)
matching (and handling) a whole device and those which match an
interface only. This will allow to enforce some rules, eg that
the former don't use interface information for matching or that the
latter don't modify global device state.
The previous way left too much freedom do the drivers which led to
inconsistencies and abuse.
For now, I've not changed locators and submatch rules, this will
happen later.
There should not be any change in behaviour, except in the case of
some drivers which did behave inconsistently:
if_atu, if_axe, uep: matched the configured device in the interface
stage, but did configuration again. I've converted them to match
in the device stage.
ustir, utoppy: matched in the interface stage, but only against
vendor/device information, and used any configuration/interface
without checking. Changed to match in device stage, and added
some simple code to configure and use the first interface.
If you have one of those devices, please test!
