- Makefile: cleanup of the 'clean' target (adds missing 'bxhub').
- configure script: create cpudb subdirectories if necessary for building
outside of the source tree.
- cpudb Makefile: clean object files from new location.
- In "non-plugin" mode loading and unloading network module is not necessary.
Now enabled loading for the plugin mode only and removed unloading function
for that case. The "pseudo plugin" entries of the dummy entry points are
necessary to make sure the self-registering network driver objects are not
optimized out.
- slirp / vnet: Since the plugin init function is not called in non-plugin
mode, revert the instance count init change.
- Fixed a makefile dependecy.
- TODO: Implement self-registering objects in the sound driver code.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved network module base classes and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading network driver plugins in netmod.cc.
- Moved shared networking code used by the 'vnet' driver and 'bxhub' from
netmod.cc/.h to new files netutil.cc/.h.
- Created separate plugins for each network driver implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_NETWORK.
The format of the 'ethdev' string must be 'host:port' to use this feature.
Using the port number only for connecting 'bxhub' on the same machine is still
supported.
- Small changes to avoid crash after failure.
- Several cleanups in the socket mode.
- Fixed reporting active mode after init is done.
- Reporting sent/received byte with BX_DEBUG.
- The 'vnet' module now uses the 'script' parameter for an alternative log
file name.
- Renamed log file names in some networking modules (replaced 'ne2k' by a name
related to the module name).
- Documentation updates (networking stuff and cmosimage).
- Increase maximum number of Bochs client sessions to 6.
- Define bx_devmodel_c to 'void' for the bxhub case to simplify netmod code.
- Minor cleanups in bxhub and related vnet code.
- According to the specs masked edge-sensitive IRQs are not held pending.
- Print BX_DEBUG message in set_irq_level() only in case of level change to
avoid flooding log file.
- eth_socket.cc: Added missing winsock init.
- bxhub.cc: Added missing CDECL macro to the signal handler.
- Added some definitions for non-Windows platforms similar to the serial and
rfb code.
- bxhub.cc: Put all client data in a structure and added send_packet() function.
- bxhub.cc: Added SVN ID line.
- netmod.cc: Changed some DHCP messages to BX_DEBUG.
- eth_socket.cc: Minor cleanups.
external program 'bxhub' (simulating a two port ethernet hub). It is based on
an old SF patch and it has been updated and extended:
- Windows support (tested with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake).
- Command line arguments for 'bxhub' (base port number, MAC address, TFTP).
- Added support for DHCP, TFTP, ARP and ICMP echo (ping). It uses parts of the
code for the 'vnet' module with some additions from the former "slirp backend".
- TODO: code cleanup to reduce duplication, rewrite of the networking plugins
stuff similar to the work done with the sound drivers.
