function provided by the driver limits allocations to the page size,
i.e. 4KB on i385 and 8KB on typical 64 bit processors. Since amd64
has 64 bit pointers, but only 4KB pages, an array of pointers that
just fits into one page on all the other processors, does require
2 pages on amd64.
In order to make this driver useful on amd64, the allocation unit
has been increased to 2 pages on amd64 and contigmalloc() is used
instead of malloc(). All other processor types are unaffected by
this change. This modification has only been compile-tested on
amd64, yet, but should just work (FLW).
machine; instead use the intended entry points. There's still
too much incestuous knowledge about the internals of the
802.11 layer but this at least fixes adhoc mode.
o ic_inact_auth is a bad name, it's the inactivity threshold
for being associated but not authorized; use it that way
o reset ni_inact when switching inactivity thresholds to
minimize the race against the timer (don't want to lock
for this stuff)
o change the inactivity probe threshold from a one-shot to
cover a range: when below this threshold but not expired
send a probe each inactivity interval; should probably
guard against the interval being turned way down as this
could cause us to spam the net with probes
we're at it:
o WPA/802.11i has a unicast key and a group key; in station mode
everything is sent with the unicast key--we were consulting the
destination mac address and incorrectly using the group key
o (perpetuate fallback use of the default tx key to maintain
compatibility with the way wpa_supplicant works)
o correct EAPOL encryption logic to check unicast key instead
of assuming other state implies this
o move QoS encapsulation up to before enmic work so TKIP has the
information required to calculate the pseudo-header
o do not do QoS-encapsulation of EAPOL frames as some ap's do the
wrong thing with such frames (may need to revisit this if ap's
start dropping non-QoS frames from stations assoc'd with QoS)
o move ieee80211_mbuf_adjust closer to its caller
unloaded, cleanup, or return ebusy of that's inconvenient.' The
default module hanlder for newbus will now call this when we get a
MOD_QUIESCE event, but in the future may call this at other times.
This shouldn't change any actual behavior until drivers start to use it.
suggested by Peter Edwards. This seems to fix my fxp problems and
likely will fix his as well. Use DELAY rather than *sleep because we
can be called from any context.
o catch one place where we were not using ath_chan_change to
switch channels; this fixes a problem where the channel
settings were not being correctly reported in captured packets
o return unique channel identification in the channel flags;
ethereal gets confused if you return merged flags (e.g. ofdm,
cck, and 2Ghz) (this is workaround and should be removed if
we can ever cleanup radiotap consumers)
o correct short/long preamble flag state for rx and treat tx
the same--use a new hwflags array that gives us the data
based on the h/w rate index/cookie
o add gross hack to handle radiotap capture of frames that
come in with hardware padding; should be replaced by a
flag in the radiotap header and more smarts in the apps
that decode radiotap data
o lintval is in ms; must convert to TU's for passing to the hal
o roundup to calculate nexttbtt (should look at current tsf and pull the
calculated nextbtt forward but this'll do for now)
o don't or- in HAL_BEACON_RESET_TSF when doing station timer setup; this
is not needed and messes up the sleep timer calcs, though it's unclear
if it mattered as the hal masks these values before use
