algorithm, which is based on the 2011 v0.1 patch release and described in the
paper "Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients" by David Hayes
and Grenville Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the
modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally
deployable and suitable for use on shared networks.

Realtek RTL8188CU/RTL8192CU USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless cards.
This driver requires microcode which is available in FreeBSD ports:
net/urtwn-firmware-kmod.
Hiren ported the urtwn(4) man page from OpenBSD and Glen just commited a port
for the firmware.
TODO:
- 802.11n support
- Stability fixes - the driver can sustain lots of traffic but has trouble
coping with simultaneous iperf sessions.
- fix debugging

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.

Bus rescans should not be needed now and I consider it a bug if disks do
not appear or dissapear when created or destroyed.

This change allows creating file descriptors with close-on-exec set in some
situations. SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK can be OR'ed in socket() and
socketpair()'s type parameter, and MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC to recvmsg() makes file
descriptors (SCM_RIGHTS) atomically close-on-exec.
The numerical values for SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK are as in NetBSD.
MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC is the first free bit for MSG_*.
The SOCK_* flags are not passed to MAC because this may cause incorrect
failures and can be done later via fcntl() anyway. On the other hand, audit
is expected to cope with the new flags.
For MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC, unp_externalize() is extended to take a flags
argument.

the firmware (instead of just the main firmware version) when evaluating
firmware compatibility. Document the new "hw.cxgbe.fw_install" knob
being introduced here.
This should fix kern/173584 too. Setting hw.cxgbe.fw_install=2 will
mostly do what was requested in the PR but it's a bit more intelligent
in that it won't reinstall the same firmware repeatedly if the knob is
left set.
