the only architecture dependence of devether was enabling interrupts,
which is now done at the end of the driver's reset() function now.
the wifi stack and dummy ethersink also go to port/.
do the IRQ2->IRQ9 hack for pc kernels in intrenabale(), so not
every caller of intrenable() has to be aware of it.
from openbsd driver, it seems the Centrino Advanced-N 6030 and 6235
cards share the same device revision as the 6205 (Type6005). Also
changing the device revision field from 4 to 5 bits.
- drivers enable short preamble and sort timeslot depending
on the ap beacon capinfo field (bss->cap)
- wifi sets short preamble bit in capinfo on association request
- wifi sets short timeslot bit when ap advertized it in beacon
introduce wificfg() function to convert ether->opt[] strings
to wifictl messages, which needs quoting for the value. so
etherX=type=iwl essid='something with spaces' works.
Wnode gets two new counters: txcount and txerror
and actrate pointer that will be between minrate
and maxrate.
driver should use actrate instead of maxrate for
transmission when it can provide error feedback.
when a driver detects a transmission failed, it calls
wifitxfail() with the original packet. wifitxfail() then
reduces wn->actrate.
every 256th packet, we optimistically increase wn->actrate
before transmitting.
the 802.11 spec only specifies the msb of the rate for
Beacon, Probe Response, Association Response, Reassociation Response,
Mesh Peering Open, and Mesh Peering Confirm management frames
...
The MSB of each Supported Rate octet in other
management frame types is ignored by receiving STAs.
this should make no difference but on some netgear ap's not
setting this bit seems to ignore these data rates.
driver sets wifi->rates array to tell wifi layer what
rates it supports. when we receive beacon, we determine
the minimum and maximum data rates and set wn->minrate
and wn->maxrate to point to the entries in wifi->rates.
it is the responsibility of the driver to use this
information on transmit.
catch the error() that can be thrown by sleep() and tsleep()
in kprocs.
add missing pexit() calls.
always set the freemem argument to pexit() from kproc otherwise
the process gets added to the broken list.
spawn a kernel process to check the broken state of the controller.
if the firmware crashed, or rfkill was toggled we will reset and
reboot the firmware. also power down the card when rfkill is off.
allow the driver to associate the node with a new aid right after
we receive the association response, not just when we transmit
a packet which usualy does not happen as eapol is initiated by
the access point so there are no transmit calls. we just call
transmit from the wifiproc with a nil block to introduce the node.
