loading on a particular version of Windows. For example, a .INF file
for a Windows 2000 driver may have an empty [foo.NT.5.1] section which
will be ingored on Win2K (whose .INF parser won't look for sections
decorated with .NT.5.1) in favor of a [foo] section. Likewise, a
WinXP file will have an empty [foo] section which will be ignored in
favor of [foo.NT.5.1].
The problem is, we can handle both Win2K and WinXP drivers, and we
don't want to exclude either one.
As a workaround, we try to pretend we are WinXP by default and search
for sections decorated with .NT.5.1, but if we don't turn up any records,
we assume that maybe we're being fooled by a sabotaged .INF file and
make one more pass looking for undecorated sections instead.
This allows us to parse the .INF files for both the Win2K and the WinXP
Centrino wireless drivers.
I'd give anything for 5 minutes alone in a room with whoever wrote
Microsoft's .INF file parser. Just 5 minutes. That's all.
on an SIOCSIFADDR (by way of brain damage in net80211).
Also, avoid trying to set NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO since the Microsoft
documentation I have recommends not using it, and the Centrino driver
seems to dislike being told to use it.

Prevent the kernel from potentially overflowing the interface name

and NdisCancelTimer(). NdisInitializeTimer() doesn't accept an NDIS
miniport context argument, so we have to derive it from the timer
function context (which is supposed to be the adapter private context).
NdisCancelTimer is now an alias for NdisMCancelTimer().
Also add stubs for NdisMRegisterDevice() and NdisMDeregisterDevice().
These are no-ops for now, but will likely get fleshed in once I start
working on the Am1771/Am1772 wireless driver.

Death to the stripped down BOOTMFS kernel for boot floppies and all the
cruft that goes along with it.
requires minimal care and feeding for future releases.
- Consolidate multitude of floppy related constants down to a normal
FLOPPY set for 1.44 floppies and on PC98 a SMALLFLOPPY set for 1.2
floppies. Also, cleanup the i386 arch section by not duplicating
constants that are the same on both machine types (i386 and pc98).
- Update the ZIPNSPLIT macro to generate a file chunks that will actually
fit onto 1.44 floppies formatted with UFS1. Unfortunately, split(1)
seems to be somewhat buggy, so the files generated are slightly larger
than the argument passed to split.
- Split the release.10 target into 3 targers: floppies.1, floppies.2 and
floppies.3 that are added to EXTRAS only if NOFLOPPIES is defined.
floppies.1 builds the install floppies, floppies.2 builds the fixit
floppy, and floppies.3 generates the md5 sums and READMEs for the
floppies/ directory.
- Drop the by now largely obsolete and less useful boot.flp picture. This
was more useful when the mfsroot lived inside the kernel rather than
being loaded from a separate file by the loader.
- Only build a single mfsroot containing no modules that is used for all
installation methods.
- Use split-file.sh to split up a gzipped GENERIC kernel into however many
floppies it takes for the boot kernel. Currently, a stock 5.2 GENERIC
kernel including WITNESS, INVARIANTS, DDB, and other assorted bloat fits
onto 2 additional floppies besides the boot floppy with some room to
spare.
- If SPLIT_MFSROOT is defined, the mfsroot.gz file is similar split into
however many floppies are needed. Currently it is not defined as the
mfsroot.gz fits onto the current boot.flp with room to spare.
- Add a 'makeFloppySet' target which builds a floppy set for a file that
was split using split-file.sh.
- Rename the doMFSKERN target to 'buildBootFloppy' as that more closely
matches what it does now. We no longer build a custom BOOTMFS kernel for
each boot floppy.
- We no longer build a 2.88 boot.flp image to use with emulated CD booting.
The non-emulated cdboot works for almost everyone who boots off of CD and
if it doesn't work on a particular machine, the user can always boot from
the 1.44 floppy images.
- We no longer build a driver floppy or stick kernel modules in the mfsroot
since we now use a stock kernel when booting from floppy.
a list file suitable for use with libstand's splitfs filesystem. The first
chunk of the file is 16k and has an extension of '.boot' and is meant to be
placed on the boot floppy. This is required because the current
implementations of gzipfs and bzipfs in libstand want to read in the header
of the file each time it is opened.
GDB was using the instruction pointer for 'calltrap', rather than the
infinitely more useful instruction pointer where the trap occurred.

can look at the ACPI tables. If the startup fails, we panic and tell the
user to try rebooting with ACPI disabled. Previously in this case we
would try to use $PIR interrupt routing which only works for the atpic
while using the apic to handle interrupts which would result in misrouted
interrupts and a hang at boot time with no error message.
- Read the SCI out of the FADT instead of hardcoding 9 when checking to see
if an interrupt override entry is for the SCI.
- Try to work around some BIOS brain damage for the SCI's programming by
forcing the SCI to be level triggered and active low if it is routed
to a non-ISA interrupt (greater than 15) or if it is identity mapped with
edge trigger and active high polarity. This should fix some of the hangs
with device apic and ACPI that some people see.

problem here still to be solved: the sockaddr_hci has still a 16 byte
field for the node name. The code currently does not correctly use the
length field in the sockaddr to handle the address length, so
node names get truncated to 15 characters when put into a sockaddr_hci.
