Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. 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

Grrr. Put the right .PATH statements in the right Makefiles.

KMOD= if_ndis
Throw the switch on the new driver generation/loading mechanism. From here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module that can be kldloaded into the kernel. A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the .INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module. You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately). Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep() doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead). This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy. There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap. Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading them and kldload them once the system is running instead.

Remove bridge(4) from the tree. if_bridge(4) is a full functional replacement and has additional features which make it superior. Discussed on: -arch Reviewed by: thompsa X-MFC-after: never (RELENG_6 as transition period)
