The lowest model number supported by this driver is "3160", but that's just
Intel's insanity: the 7260 was released the quarter before it. So following
our naming convention strictly, "7260" is the correct name for this driver.
The firmware situation for this one is also a little different. Unlike past
instances where Intel has released mostly nonsubstantial firmware updates,
allowing us to just copy a recent-ish version from the iwlwifi archives,
the firmware is more closely tied to the driver in this series. As a result,
some of this firmware is not even used by Linux yet (they're a few versions
behind it seems), so the firmware packages included here come from FreeBSD.
One major hardware feature - RX of multiple frames at a time - is disabled
in this commit, as it depends on mbuf reference-counting, according to the
FreeBSD developers I asked, which we do not implement yet. I'll hopefully
get to looking at that in the next few weeks.
And with that, I finally have WiFi on my primary laptop, my original reason
for setting out on this quest last year. This commit was pushed through it,
even :)
Per #10267, "Most (ported) third-party software should be removed
from the Haiku source repository."
Since HaikuPorts already has the ncompress package, this file
should no longer exist.

Original patch missed modifying the "minimum" definition and the
src/bin/Jamfile, so I took care of that.
I wrote this back in 2010 as my first driver project.
Reasons to remove it:
* The license is GPL
* Current WiMAX hardware is generally WIFI based.
* It controlled the hardware, but never worked
for network access since we need SSL certs and stuff
which vendors weren't too open with.
* WiMAX kind of died (at least in the US)
I left the wwan directory, it would be a nice spot
for CDMA / GSM dongle drivers.
* Hashing semantics for the new build repositories are different than
the old ones, so update those (if the x86 build was not broken before
it is now...)
* OptionalPackages has been updated slightly (removed libtool and git_cvs
from the default images, as they are rarely used nowadays and would pull
in a bunch of dependencies we don't really care for either)
* Removed lib:libqrencode from Haiku package requires (qrencode_kdl is a
static library, the userland libqrencode is not used anywhere in the tree,
as far as I can tell)
* Fix build of JPEG2000 translator after update
* Decouple fluidsynth build machinery and remove from image now that it
is no longer used
* Update repository URL in Repositories preflet
libmedia.so was used by at least 2 apps included in the minimum image,
Activity Monitor and Deskcalc which subsequently failed to load on minimum.
Deskcalc wasn't actually using libmedia.so so I managed to get it to link and
run on minimum, however, Activity Monitor is using libmedia.so so needed it
to be present.
To fix this I added libmedia.so to the minimum image, I hope this does not blow
its size budget. (adds 1.0MB)
* Hasn't been used for quite some time
* Everything was ported over to a new ATA stack
some time ago.
* No huge regressions were seen from the new ATA
stack.
* The app_server isn't designed to support two fallback drivers, so
on systems using UEFI to boot, the framebuffer driver will often
win when other drivers would likely work on those systems.
This is separate to the VESA driver, as the VESA driver requires
using the VBE BIOS. Under UEFI, we don't have the VBE BIOS, nor
are we able to switch modes after leaving UEFI Boot Services, so
a dumb framebuffer driver seemed like the easier way to approach
the problem.
The framebuffer & vesa drivers now test for the presence of the
VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO boot item to distinguish between which driver
to use. Also added check for the VESA mode count to determine
whether to add the VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO item.
UEFI video updated to explicitly zero out the VESA and EDID
boot data.
- B_TRIM_DEVICE on a ram disk frees all requested pages. Reading from a
trimmed page returns all 0s. This can be used with fstrim to release
memory for the parts not used by the filesystem, without unregistering
then registering the device.
- Add icon and ioctl to get it.
- Add it to the image, because it works reasonably well and there is no
reason not to include it.
- Add subfolder src/kits/debugger which contains the debugger's core
functionality and lower layers. Correspondingly add headers/private/debugger
for shared headers to be used by clients such as the Debugger application
and eventual remote_debug_server. Adjust various files to account for
differences as a result of the split and moves.
- Add libdebugger.so to minimal Jamfile.
* Use BUrlProtocolRoster instead of BFileRequest.
* Removed HTTPMediaIO custom code that now inherits
BAdapterIO and make the whole thing more simple.
* It work with some formats (flv, mp3, mkv) but ffmpeg fail
on others (mp4, 3gp).
* GetSize needs improvements.
* Previous enablement broke gcc2 and hybrid builds
* gcc2 builds fixed and tested working now
* Fix Hybrid builds via missing MultiArch Jam
* Sorry for the noise, enjoy early Bluetooth support
So people aren't tempted to make .pkg files for x86_64/ARM/etc, and
because there should be no reason to have it there.
Discussed with PulkoMandy on IRC.

This is a squash of the 42 commits by @mshlyn, as I couldn't find a
way to break them into logical chunks. I did not include these in the build,
as it appears that they only partially work anyway, and much more cleanup is
still needed. However, this is a huge improvement on what was in the tree
before, which looked horrendous and didn't even compile (as it was designed
for the old stack).
Mostly fixes#812.
* The same mechanism (and the same PostInstallScript) is used for this.
* If a file first_login exists in ~/config/settings/boot, the first-login
scripts are launched, and the file removed.
* This fixes adding the deskbar tray icons even when there is no Deskbar
running yet (for example on first boot when the FirstBootPrompt
starts), or, IOW bug #12275.
