Antti Kantee and Mihai Chelaru from #netbsd-code were helpful in
better understanding of VLAN stuff. Thank you!
Fix MOBILE encapsulation. Add many debugging printfs (mainly
concerning UDP mode). Clean up the gre(4) code a bit. Add the
capability to setup UDP tunnels to ifconfig. Update documentation.
In UDP mode, gre(4) puts a GRE header onto transmitted packets,
and hands them to a UDP socket for transmission. That is, the
encapsulation looks like this: IP+UDP+GRE+encapsulated packet.
There are two ways to set up a UDP tunnel. One way is to tell the
source and destination IP+port to gre(4), and let gre(4) create
the socket. The other way to create a UDP tunnel is for userland
to "delegate" a UDP socket to the kernel.
clean up the ssid explanation a bit (including mentioning that if you
want to use a hex ssid, you precede it with a 0x, which really needed
documenting.)
* bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -- set the desired BSSID of an 802.11
interface.
* -bssid -- unset the desired BSSID of an 802.11 interface, so
the interface will choose automatically (default).
* channel x -- set the channel (radio frequency) of an 802.11 interface.
Current BSSID and channel are now reported in the 802.11 status
display, if supported by the interface.
Above changes from David Young <dyoung@ojctech.com>, with some slight
changes by me (use ethers(3) functions rather than hand-parsing/printing
the 802.11 address).
Document bssid/-bssid/channel, and clean up markup of parentheticals
in the manual page.
Currently, only Aironet ("an") driver/card can be used.
nwkey persist (IEEE 802.11 devices only) Enable WEP encryption for IEEE
802.11-based wireless network interfaces with the persis-
tent key written in the network card.
nwkey persist:key
(IEEE 802.11 devices only) Write the key to the persis-
tent memory of the network card, and enable WEP encryp-
tion for IEEE 802.11-based wireless network interfaces
with the key.
network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
