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 :)
This was accomplished by adding some pretty nasty hacks to the FFmpeg recipe
so that we can compile it for the GCC2 ABI using GCC7. This works because
GCC's C ABI has not changed between GCC2 and GCC7.
As a consequence of this, pretty much all the longstanding issues of the
ancient-and-still-miscompiled FFmpeg 0.10 are now completely gone.
Fixes#5080, #8461, #12696, #12436, #13981#13410, #13337.
Closes (possibly fixed earlier) #8605, #8511, #6984.
Probably fixes (couldn't test) #13989, #11974.
* Remove WifiFirmwareScriptData; the new mechanism is to use the script
to create a true package, and it also supports the offline downloading
this would have provided.
* Remove "FFMpeg"; never used -- the "ffmpeg" package is actually added
via BuildFeatures.
* Remove Bluetooth; now provided as part of the main Haiku package.
Also add AddHaikuImageSourcePackages invocations for all relevant
(i.e. [L]GPL'ed) packages.
Doesn't truly fix#9990 as PackageKit cannot be used to install source
packages, but this is enough for creating a redistributable image,
so that ticket can be moved out of the beta1 milestone now.
No functional change. Ideally we would create these via ResAttr like we do
the mail-providers, but these have attributes on their directories and not
just the files, so that will be slightly trickier, so for now just keep them
in their zip format.
* The if-case was appending to gccBaseFlags after the rest of the file
was done using it, so it was ineffective. Now we set it with the rest
of the baseFlags.
* We already pass no-integrated-as in configure, no need to do it in
MainBuildRules.
* B_USE_BUILTIN_ATOMIC_FUNCTIONS isn't used anymore, so get rid of it.
Most of the problems with tree-vrp stemmed from its deletion of null-pointer
checks (see linked commit in the source.) Now, GCC has a flag to control that,
and with it enabled I can boot to the desktop even with tree-vrp enabled.
On GCC 7.3, it conflicts with our definition of 'fork'. The documentation
states that disabling builtins has no effect on versions where they
do not exist, so we don't need to check for GCC7 here.
Previously they just silently continued, which meant that if part of the
cross-tools build failed, you would have to scroll back pretty far to
see what the failure was.
* The ram_disk driver was missing in the bootstrap images. Adding
it will allow the ramdisk command to work. And with a modified
haikuports.conf one might even use a ramdisk TREE_PATH.
* The virtio_net driver will probably be handy in some situations.
git_svn needs alien_svn, but we don't include this in the build repos.
Remove it from the preinstalled software, it is available in the depot
if people need it.
John's revert of my removal commit dragged back a bunch of cygwin/sunos
cruft, as well as re-adding RegExp.cpp to the host libshared, that we don't
need.
Instead, remove this and add libgnuregex_build to just the tools/keymap
link alongside the FreeBSD gnuregex case.
