o s/printf/device_printf/g
o Nuke OpenBSDism.
o Nuke NetBSD/OpenBSD specific DMA sync operations.(we don't have a way
to sync a single descriptor within a DMA map.)
o Remove recursive mutex.
o bus_dma(9) clean up.
o 40bit DMA address support.
o Add protection for Rx map load failure.
o Fix a long standing bug for watchdog timeout. [1]
o Add additional protections, missing Tx completion interrupt, losing
start Tx command, for watchdog timeout.
o Switch to taskqueue(9) API to handle interrupts.
o Use our own timer for watchdog instead of if_watchdog/if_timer
interface.
o Advertise VLAN header length/capability correctly to upper layer.
o Remove excessive kernel stack consumption in nfe_encap().
o Handle highly fragmented mbuf chains correctly.
o Enable etherenet address reprogramming with ifconfig(8).
o Add ALTQ/TSO, MSI/MSIX support.
o Increased Rx ring to 256 descriptors from 128.
o Align Tx/Rx descriptor ring on sizeof(struct nfe_desc64) boundary.
o Remove alignment restrictions on Tx/Rx buffers.
o Rewritten jumbo frame support code.
o Add support for hardware assistend VLAN tag insertion/stripping.
o Add support for Tx/Rx flow control based on patches from Peer Chen. [2]
o Add a routine that detects whether ethernet address swap routines is
required. [3]
o Add a workaround that take MAC/PHY out of power down mode.
o Add suspend/resume support.
o style(9) and code clean up.
Special thanks to Shigeaki Tagashira, the original porter of nfe(4),
who submitted lots of patches, performed uncountable number of
regression tests and maintained nfe(4) for a long time. Without his
enthusiastic help and support I could never have completed this
overhauling task.
The only weak point of nfe(4) compared to nve(4) is instability of
manual half-duplex media selection on certain hardwares(auto sensing
media type should work for all cases, though). This was a long
standing bug of nfe(4) and I still have no idea why it doesn't work
on some hardwares.

- Allow LRO to be enabled / disabled at runtime
- Fix a double-free at module unload time.
- Only update timestamp in lro merge when it is present in the frame

- Use a seperate taskqueue+thread for reset tasks since iwi_ops will
block.
- Return from iwi_ops if the interface has been downed

o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now
fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics;
these changes are visible to user applications which require changes
o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable
background scanning and roaming
o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating
mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint
on systems w/ constrained resources
o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss
mode yet)
o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques
o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now
we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi
and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap
o add tx fragmentation support
o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming
drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline
for other drivers to be developed and for user applications
o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates
prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally
o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames
encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx
large frames correctly)
o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support
o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style
o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps
o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling
authentication and association failures
o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need
net80211 support (not in this commit)
o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead)
o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan
results so future additions will not break user apps
o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an
index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with
multi-mode operation
o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing
Drivers:
o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames,
dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs
new hal)
o awi: compile tested only
o ndis: lightly tested
o ipw: lightly tested
o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some
rough edges)
o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data
o wi: lightly tested
This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa,
mlaier, kevlo, and others. Much of the scanning work was supported by
Atheros. The 11n work was supported by Marvell.

issues (with proper quirks). [2]

error doing so. It seems an increasing number of phones have this
quirk, and we're not keeping up. There appears to be nothing bad that
happens for non-quirked phones.
Minor cleanups:
o prefer device_printf over printf
o kill devinfo stuff
o minor other preening.
need to do it at all anymore. Remove it from here. Expand
USB_ATTACH_SETUP inline now that it is one line and we're moving away
from the compat macros. Remove some bzero calls that turn out not be
be necessary.
what we print, don't print it anymore. And don't compute it anymore.
And don't malloc/free memory for it anymore. While I'm here, prefer
device_printf where appropriate.
A change to dconschat(8) will follow so that it can bomb
this address over FireWire to reset a wedged system.
Though this method is just a hack and far from perfection,
it should be useful if you don't want to go machine room
just to reset or to power-cycle a machine without
remote-managed power supply. And much better than doing:
# fwcontrol -m target-eui64
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fwmem0.2 bs=1m
