plugin_entry(). The additional boolean argument "init" is used to select the
requested action. The entry points still have unique names for compatibility
with the "non-plugin" compilation. Added macros for setting up these names
(e.g. PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_MODULE for device plugins).
- Added options "net" for the IP address space and "ftp" for the FTP server.
- Added some sanity checks for the IP address configuration.
- Added sample config file.
- Added new config file options "host", "dns" and "dhcpstart" (similar to slirp).
- modified bx_vnet_pktmover_c class to be compatible with other modules.
- On TFTP RRQ check file presence directly (fixes iPXE boot).
The 'vnet' networking module now uses 192.168.10.3 and bxhub is setting up the
slirp compatible IP 10.0.2.4 for additional services. Added host name "vnet-ftp"
in the DNS code to translate it to the new IP address.
- FTP: handle the hidden flag on Windows the same way as on other platforms.
- TCP/IP: fixed some gcc 9 warnings (checked with Cygwin gcc 9.3).
- DHCP: changed the way to set up the default client IPv4 address.
- Partly re-implemented host_to_guest methods from legacy eth_vnet.cc.
- Added two dynamic packet buffers for vnet server replies.
- TFTP and FTP servers are only available if root directory is configured.
- Added TCP port handler methods similar to the UDP ones.
- Added basic TCP connection management and 3-way handshake.
- Added FTP server stub for testing TCP (only login/logout for now).
- Enable packet logging in text format if file name is specified with the
"script" parameter.
- Don't start RX timer if vnet server returns 0.
- Added TCP header structure for future extensions.
- Added DNS service support for the server "vnet" and connected clients.
- Added command line option "-loglev=" to control whether or not there is
BX_ERROR, BX_INFO or BX_DEBUG output. Default value is 1 (BX_ERROR only).
- 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 '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.
