The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307,
BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319
The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.
Limitations:
This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios.
Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3.
Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from

The work have been under testing and fixing since then, and it is mature enough
to be put into HEAD for further testing.
A lot have changed in this time, and here are the most important:
- Gvinum now uses one single workerthread instead of one thread for each
volume and each plex. The reason for this is that the previous scheme was
very complex, and was the cause of many of the bugs discovered in gvinum.
Instead, gvinum now uses one worker thread with an event queue, quite
similar to what used in gmirror.
- The rebuild/grow/initialize/parity check routines no longer runs in
separate threads, but are run as regular I/O requests with special flags.
This made it easier to support mounted growing and parity rebuild.
- Support for growing striped and raid5-plexes, meaning that one can extend the
volumes for these plex types in addition to the concat type. Also works while
the volume is mounted.
- Implementation of many of the missing commands from the old vinum:
attach/detach, start (was partially implemented), stop (was partially
implemented), concat, mirror, stripe, raid5 (shortcuts for creating volumes
with one plex of these organizations).
- The parity check and rebuild no longer goes between userland/kernel, meaning
that the gvinum command will not stay and wait forever for the rebuild to
finish. You can instead watch the status with the list command.
- Many problems with gvinum have been reported since 5.x, and some has been hard
to fix due to the complicated architecture. Hopefully, it should be more
stable and better handle edge cases that previously made gvinum crash.
- Failed drives no longer disappears entirely, but now leave behind a dummy
drive that makes sure the original state is not forgotten in case the system
is rebooted between drive failures/swaps.
- Update manpage to reflect new commands and extend it with some examples.

provider. The NFS client exposes 'start' and 'done' probes for NFSv2
and NFSv3 RPCs when using the new RPC implementation, passing in the
vnode, mbuf chain, credential, and NFSv2 or NFSv3 procedure number.
For 'done' probes, the error number is also available.
Probes are named in the following way:
...
nfsclient:nfs2:write:start
nfsclient:nfs2:write:done
...
nfsclient:nfs3:access:start
nfsclient:nfs3:access:done
...
Access to the unmarshalled arguments is not easily available at this
point in the stack, but the passed probe arguments are sufficient to
to a lot of interesting things in practice. Technically, these probes
may cover multiple RPC retransmits, and even transactions if the
transaction ID change as a result of authentication failure or a
jukebox error from the server, but usefully capture the intent of a
single NFS request, such as access, getattr, write, etc.
Typical use might involve profiling RPC latency by system call, number
of RPCs, how often a getattr leads to a call to access, when failed
access control checks occur, etc. More detailed RPC information might
best be provided by adding a krpc provider. It would also be useful
to add NFS client probes for events such as the access cache or
attribute cache satisfying requests without an RPC.

* Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface

for this information for running kernels.
* bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
* Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,

* Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
* Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
* Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
* Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
moved to mif6 for the time being.
* More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

- Since the aio code likes to invoke fuword and suword a lot down in the
"bowels" of system calls, add a structure holding a set of operations for
things like storing errors, copying in the aiocb structure, storing
status, etc. The 32-bit system calls use a separate operations vector to
handle fuword32 vs fuword, etc. Also, the oldsigevent handling is now
done by having seperate operation vectors with different aiocb copyin
routines.
- Split out kern_foo() functions for the various AIO system calls so the
32-bit front ends can manage things like copying in and converting
timespec structures, etc.
- For both the native and 32-bit aio_suspend() and lio_listio() calls,
just use copyin() to read the array of aiocb pointers instead of using
a for loop that iterated over fuword/fuword32. The error handling in
the old case was incomplete (lio_listio() just ignored any aiocb's that
it got an EFAULT trying to read rather than reporting an error), and
possibly slower.

Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor

controller. The controller is also known as L1E(AR8121) and
L2E(AR8113/AR8114). Unlike its predecessor Attansic L1,
AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 uses completely different Rx logic such that
it requires separate driver. Datasheet for AR81xx is not available

PHY logic of L1. I still don't understand some part of register
meaning and some MAC statistics counters but the driver seems to
have no critical issues for performance and stability.
The AR81xx requires copy operation to pass received frames to upper
stack such that ale(4) consumes a lot of CPU cycles than that of
other controller. A couple of silicon bugs also adds more CPU
cycles to address the known hardware bug. However, if you have fast

This commit includes a more or less complete rewrite of the *BSD USB

updating all existing USB drivers to use the new USB API:
1) A brief feature list:
- A new and mutex enabled USB API.
- Many USB drivers are now running Giant free.
- Linux USB kernel compatibility layer.
- New UGEN backend and libusb library, finally solves the "driver
unloading" problem. The new BSD licensed libusb20 library is fully
compatible with libusb-0.1.12 from sourceforge.
- New "usbconfig" utility, for easy configuration of USB.
- Full support for Split transactions, which means you can use your
full speed USB audio device on a high speed USB HUB.
- Full support for HS ISOC transactions, which makes writing drivers
for various HS webcams possible, for example.
- Full support for USB on embedded platforms, mostly cache flushing
and buffer invalidating stuff.
- Safer parsing of USB descriptors.
- Autodetect of annoying USB install disks.
- Support for USB device side mode, also called USB gadget mode,
using the same API like the USB host side. In other words the new
USB stack is symmetric with regard to host and device side.
- Support for USB transfers like I/O vectors, means more throughput
and less interrupts.
- ... see the FreeBSD quarterly status reports under "USB project"

2) To enable the driver at runtime:
2.a) Unload all existing USB modules. If USB is compiled into the

and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.
The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.
To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.
As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.
Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.
The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

If you just config KERNEL as usual there should be no apparent changes, you'll get all chipset support code compiled in.
However there is now a way to only compile in code for chipsets needed on a pr vendor basis. ATA now has the following "device" entries:
atacore: ATA core functionality, always needed for any ATA setup
atacard: CARDBUS support
atacbus: PC98 cbus support
ataisa: ISA bus support
atapci: PCI bus support only generic chipset support.
ataahci: AHCI support, also pulled in by some vendor modules.
ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek, atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron, atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia, atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia; Vendor support, ie atavia for VIA chipsets
atadisk: ATA disk driver
ataraid: ATA softraid driver
atapicd: ATAPI cd/dvd driver
atapifd: ATAPI floppy/flashdisk driver
atapist: ATAPI tape driver
atausb: ATA<>USB bridge
atapicam: ATA<>CAM bridge
This makes it possible to config a kernel with just VIA chipset support by having the following ATA lines in the kernel config file:
device atacore
device atapci
device atavia
And then you need the atadisk, atapicd etc lines in there just as usual.
If you use ATA as modules loaded at boot there is few changes except the rename of the "ata" module to "atacore", things looks just as usual.
However under atapci you now have a whole bunch of vendor specific drivers, that you can kldload individually depending on you needs. Drivers have the same names as used in the kernel config explained above.
It seems we only depend on COMPAT_43 to implement the send() and recv()
routines. We can easily implement them using sendto() and recvfrom(),
just like we do inside our very own C library.
I wasn't able to really test it, apart from simple compilation testing.
I've heard rumours that COMPAT_SVR4 is broken inside execve() anyway.
It's still worth to fix this, because I suspect we'll get rid of
COMPAT_43 somewhere in the future...
