freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

Intel's web site requires some minor tweaks to get it to work: - The driver seems to have been released with full WMI tracing enabled, and makes references to some WMI APIs, namely IoWMIRegistrationControl(), WmiQueryTraceInformation() and WmiTraceMessage(). Only the first one is ever called (during intialization). These have been implemented as do-nothing stubs for now. Also added a definition for STATUS_NOT_FOUND to ntoskrnl_var.h, which is used as a return code for one of the WMI routines. - The driver references KeRaiseIrqlToDpcLevel() and KeLowerIrql() (the latter as a function, which is unusual because normally KeLowerIrql() is a macro in the Windows DDK that calls KfLowewIrql()). I'm not sure why these are being called since they're not really part of WDM. Presumeably they're being used for backwards compatibility with old versions of Windows. These have been implemented in subr_hal.c. (Note that they're _stdcall routines instead of _fastcall.) - When querying the OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST OID to get a BSSID list, you don't know ahead of time how many networks the NIC has found during scanning, so you're allowed to pass 0 as the list length. This should cause the driver to return an 'insufficient resources' error and set the length to indicate how many bytes are actually needed. However for some reason, the Intel driver does not honor this convention: if you give it a length of 0, it returns some other error and doesn't tell you how much space is really needed. To get around this, if using a length of 0 yields anything besides the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a length of 64K. This is similar to the hack that wpa_supplicant uses when doing a BSSID list query. |

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.
