- Moved server ID and lease time options to the top of the DHCP reply.
- Increase TFTP buffer size as expected by iPXE.
- TODO: The vnet module still has boot file name hardcoded.
- removed obsolete local variables that made the hostname and bootfile options fail
- store requested hostname as a string to simplify the code
- check free space while processing the parameter list
- setting the max. DHCP message size is not supported yet (send error to log)
- added support for a separate slirp config file specified with the "script"
parameter. Added sample config in the "misc" subdirectory.
- now creating one logfunctions object per slirp instance and added new function
slirp_warning() to send error messages to the Bochs log.
- regenerated dependencies for the iodev/network Makefile and updated command
line example for generating them.
Updated workspace files after adding slirp and avx sources
Updated slirp TODO list:
- reduce code duplication with 'vnet' module (DHCP, TFTP, ARP)
- add separate config file for slirp to make it more flexible (using the
'script' parameter)
- add SMB support on Linux
- remove slirp backend module after next Bochs release
is almost a port of the Qemu 1.1.2 implementation. It has been tested successfully
on Linux and Windows (MinGW/MSYS). The networking module is currently called
"slirp_new", since the "slirp" backend module still exists.
TODO list:
- MSVC support (requires container_of() macro replacement)
- apply fixes and improvements from recent Qemu releases
- use our TFTP implementation to reduce code duplication
- check if we can share ARP and DHCP support with "vnet"
- add SMB support on Linux
- finally remove the slirp backend module support
