versions of the modules, and unconditionally putting -g in CFLAGS
has negative impact on the size of the resulting .ko object, even
now that debugging symbols are always stripped.
- Unify the conditional assignments section so that architectural
exclusions come first, sorted, then options and !options, sorted
by the option name, also in directory order, then architecture
specific sections, sorted by the architecture name, with i386
being a traditional exception.

I started with a year-old patch by Orlando Bassotto
<orlando.bassotto@ieo-research.it>, and ported it to 5.2-CURRENT along with
fixing the problems working with pre-Audigy cards.
By default, we search for files in /compat/ndis. This can be changed with
a systcl. These routines are used by some drivers which need to download
firmware or microcode into their respective devices during initialization.
Also, remove extraneous newlines from the 'built-in' sysctl/registry
variables.
of ${.TARGET}). This was the last instances of @echo in module Makefiles
after it was removed in sio/Makefile. NOMAN is nonsense in module
Makefiles, and was removed, but came back here and in too many other
places.
- SRCS was totally disordered.
- the echos to create options headers were hidden using '@'.
- the args of echos to create options headers were single-quoted.
- the target names for the rules to create options headers were repeated.
- the unused option COMPAT_FREEBSD4 was put in opt_compat.h.
(most recently bde), so I'll commit the module I've had knocking
around in my tree for a while. This may have some rough edges, so if
you are able to build it on non-i386 platform (including pc98) please
let me know you succeeded. When I get enough reports, I'll connect it
to the build. If there are problems, feel free to fix them.

Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now.
This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS
miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides
_binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver
code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts:
sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary
compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll
and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that
most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains
a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS
image and then patches in our native routines.
sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes
use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially
prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the
Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the
accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded
and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module.
usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf
into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o.
Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and
mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and
registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary
image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of
the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel
loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having
to move things around later, which would waste memory.)
ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been
updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably
work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point.
This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but
I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has
been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver
(Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK
(e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It
still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would
do something like this:
# cd /sys/modules/ndis
# make; make load
# cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
# ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
# make; make load
# sysctl -a | grep ndis
All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer
to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens,
the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so
you can tweak them.
An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be:
# sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1
# sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID"
# sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc)
# ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up
Things to be done:
- get rid of debug messages
- add in ndis80211 support
- defer transmissions until after a status update with
NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs
- Create smarter lookaside list support
- Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments
- Make sure PCMCIA support works
- Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files
- write ndisapi.9 man page
This is the vastly updated cx drvier from Roman Kurakin <rik@cronyx.ru>
who has been patiently waiting for this update for sometime.
The driver is mostly a rewrite from the version we have in the tree.
While some similarities remain, losing the little history that the old
driver has is not a big loss, and the re@ felt it was easier this way (less
error prone).
The userland parts of this update will be committed shortly.
The driver is not connected to the build yet. I want to make sure I
don't break any platform at any time, so I want to test that with
these files in the tree before I continue (on the off chance I'm
forgetting a file).
I changed the DEBUG macro to CX_DEBUG from the code that was submitted
(to not break when we go to building with opt_global.h after the
release), as well adding $FreeBSD$.

idx'th present CPU with pc_acpi_id equal to *acpi_id. If *acpi_id
does not match that processor's pc_acpi_id, return the value for
ProcId derived from the MADT in *acpi_id. If pc_acpi_id is 0xffffffff,
always override it with the value of *acpi_id. Finally, return
pc_cpuid in *cpu_id and use that as our primary key.
* Use pc_cpuid as our unique key because we know it is valid since
MD code set it. The values for ProcId in the ASL and MADT don't
match up on some machines (!), forcing us to fall back to ordered
probing in that case.
* Remove some #ifdef SMP since the refcount doesn't hurt performance
and will be needed for dynamic _CST objects. Only one #ifdef SMP
(for smp_rendezvous) remains.
* Hook up SMP in the compile flags in the Makefile.

regocnized as such at the time. Now that the other bogons in the
tree have been fixed, we can remove this ugly kludge.
o Remove stale/bogus opt_foo.h files. These are left over from
by-gone resources. And they point to the need, yet again, to
improve the build system so meta information is only in one place.
