* Add an intermediate variable, ctsrate, which is currently derived directly
from rate, but may be handled differently later (especially for 11g).
* Assume ACKs are sent at the same rate as the original data packet, as ath
does, shortening the ACK reservation time substantially.
* Add a note that we need to deal with not adding the ACK time for some
packets, though this is not implemented yet.
Questions:
* How do we affect the control rate used to send RTS/CTS packets?
* Is the PLCP header length actually controlled by the preamble length
selection, or should this be based on the transmit rate?
Of course short preamble is not actually implemented/working yet.
empty/unused octets to fill out the data time slot. The value is constrained
by math to 0 for <= 5.5Mb, 0-1 for 11Mb, and 0-2 for 22Mb. It is used to
signal to the MAC that there is residue.
`@progbits' part to obj_elf_section()... but in 2.15 obj_elf_section()

up. we can (and now do) use ``"progbits"'' instead of ``@progbits''.
references abound without this fix.
In rtw_intr_rx, skip to the next rx packet earlier if the rx packet
length is too short.
Also in rtw_intr_rx, if a packet is rx'd with unknown rate, printf
a warning, drop the packet, recycle the rx buffer, skip to next rx
packet.
debug flags.
From Linux: handle an RTL8180 bug. Sometimes the NIC skips from
the middle of the ring to the 0th rx descriptor. Now the driver
resynchronizes.
Handle a receive descriptor underrun or Rx FIFO overflow condition
in the way that the Linux driver does. This kind of seems like
overkill, but whatever.
Protect rtw_ioctl with splnet().
Do not load a tx descriptor with a buffer shorter than 4 bytes.
Handle a transmit timeout less disruptively.
is always aligned. This makes md_root_loadaddr always 4 byte aligned.
Without this, may get an un-aligned access trap before we even print
anything on the console which was a pain in the neck to debug since so
early in the bootstrap the CPU usually just halts on exceptions.
bus-independent backend, with PCI and CardBus attachment code.
The committed code has two serious bugs:
1. The driver makes no attempt to recover resources when a (Cardbus)
instance is removed; bus resources are leaked.
2. In testing with a NetGear GA-511, the Cardbus card never responded
to a reset/wakeup if the card is powered down after attachment.
So for now, leave cardbus instances powered up at attachment
(insertion, or at boot if a card is already present).
That aside, it acutally works on my GA-511. Committed as-is despite
the bugs, after repeated requests to make the code available for
further testing. Also requires sys/dev/mii/miidevs rev 1.54 -> 1.55,
and consequent regen of miidevs{,_data}.h.
in two flavours: one with non-IEEE OUI code from FreeSD if_re(4) mii
driver for early 8169S, and a second IEEE-compliant version as
observed on Netgear GA-511 with newer 8196S stepping.
in an 802.11 unicast data packet is equal to the duration of the
SIFS and Acknowledgement. That is, the amount of time reserved
*after* the packet has finished transmitting.
Change the arguments to ieee80211_compute_duration: pass the entire
packet length, not just the payload length. Add a 'debug' argument
to ieee80211_compute_duration and its helper subroutine,
ieee80211_compute_duration1.
If debug != 0, ieee80211_compute_duration printfs its arguments
and several local variables.
In rtw(4), load the 802.11 Duration field with the result from
ieee80211_compute_duration.
