The Ralink RT2500 driver uses this API instead of NdisMIndicateReceivePacket(). Drivers use NdisMEthIndicateReceive() when they know they support 802.3 media and expect to hand their packets only protocols that want to deal with that particular media type. With this API, the driver does not manage its own NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER structures. Instead, it lets bound protocols have a peek at the data, and then they supply an NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER combo to the miniport driver, into which it copies the packet data. Drivers use NdisMIndicateReceivePacket() to allow their packets to be read by any protocol, not just those bound to 802.3 media devices. To make this work, we need an internal pool of NDIS_PACKETS for receives. Currently, we check to see if the driver exports a MiniportTransferData() method in its characteristics structure, and only allocate the pool for drivers that have this method. This should allow the RT2500 driver to work correctly, though I still have to fix ndiscvt(8) to parse its .inf file properly. Also, change kern_ndis.c:ndis_halt_nic() to reap timers before acquiring NDIS_LOCK(), since the reaping process might entail sleeping briefly (and we can't sleep with a lock held). |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
