List of functional changes:
- Make a single device per single node with a single hook.
This gives us parrallelizm, which can't be achieved on a single
node with many devices/hooks. This also gives us flexibility - we
can play with a particular device node, not affecting others.
- Remove read queue as it is. Use struct ifqueue instead. This change
removes a lot of extra memcpy()ing, m_devget()ting and m_copymem()ming.
In ng_device_receivedata() we enqueue an mbuf and wake readers.
In ngdread() we take one mbuf from qeueue and uiomove() it to
userspace. If no mbuf is present we optionally block. [1]
- In ngdwrite() we create an mbuf from uio using m_uiotombuf().
This is faster then uiomove() into buffer, and then m_copydata(),
and this is much better than huge m_pullup().
- Perform locking of device
- Perform locking of connection list.
- Clear out _rcvmsg method, since it does nothing good yet.
- Implement NGM_DEVICE_GET_DEVNAME message.
- #if 0 ioctl method, while nothing is done here yet.
- Return immediately from ngdwrite() if uio_resid == 0.
List of tidyness changes:
- Introduce device2priv(), to remove cut'n'paste.
- Use MALLOC/FREE, instead of malloc/free.
- Use unit2minor().
- Use UID_ROOT/GID_WHEEL instead of 0/0.
- Define NGD_DEVICE_DEVNAME, use it.
- Use more nice macros for debugging. [2]
- Return Exxx, not -1.
style(9) changes:
- No "#endif" after short block.
- Break long lines.
- Remove extra spaces, add needed spaces.

ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
we have the rc4 code already in the kernel (via wlan stuff or awi).
Add a dependency on the rc4 module so if it doesn't exist then load it.

These makefiles work when building in the sys/modules directory, but
not with the objdir stuff that buildkernel uses. This is because they
used -I../../../blah rather than -I${.CURDIR}/../../../blah.

Hat for armchair anarchists: core member fixing src tree damage
Has been seen to work on several cards and communicating with
several mobile phones to use them as modems etc.
We are still talking with 3com to try get them to allow us to include
the firmware for their pccard in the driver but the driver is here..
In the mean time
it can be downloaded from the 3com website and loaded using the utility
bt3cfw(8) (supplied) (instructions in the man page)

This node is a source for preprogrammed packets at a known rate for testing.
I will convert it to -current "in place" but will MFC teh original

These are really only partly netgraph nodes as they do not use the
netgraph interfaces for many of the functions for which they could
be used, however they represent important functionality.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

This helps to stop it from geting out of sync.
It is not part of the normal build but I can use it with all the others
when I make changes to netgraph to ensure it is buildable.

- Move PCI core code to dev/pci.
- Split bridge code out into separate modules.
- Remove the descriptive strings from the bridge drivers. If you
want to know what a device is, use pciconf. Add support for
broadly identifying devices based on class/subclass, and for
parsing a preloaded device identification database so that if
you want to waste the memory, you can identify *anything* we know
about.
- Remove machine-dependant code from the core PCI code. APIC interrupt
mapping is performed by shadowing the intline register in machine-
dependant code.
- Bring interrupt routing support to the Alpha
(although many platforms don't yet support routing or mapping
interrupts entirely correctly). This resulted in spamming
<sys/bus.h> into more places than it really should have gone.
- Put sys/dev on the kernel/modules include path. This avoids
having to change *all* the pci*.h includes.
include:
* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.
