the ni_dpccountlock member is an ndis_kspin_lock, not an
ndis_spin_lock (the latter is too big).
Run if_ndis.c:ndis_tick() via taskqueue_schedule(). Also run
ndis_start() via taskqueue in certain circumstances.
Using these tweaks, I can now get the Broadcom BCM5701 NDIS
driver to load and run. Unfortunately, the version I have seems
to suffer from the same bug as the SMC 83820 driver, which is
that it creates a spinlock during its DriverEntry() routine.
I'm still debating the right way to deal with this.
held. However, if we need to translate a unicode message table message,
ndis_unicode_to_ascii() might malloc() some memory, which causes
a warning from witness. Avoid this by using some stack space to hold
the translated message. (Also bounds check to make sure we don't
overrun the stack buffer.)
in subr_ndis and subr_ntoskrnl. This is faster and avoids potential
LOR whinage from witness (an LOR couldn't happen with the old code
since the interlocked inc/dec routines could not sleep with a lock
held, but this will keep witness happy and it's more efficient
anyway. I think.)
so we increment the right thing. (All work and not enough parens
make Bill something something...) This makes the RealTek 8139C+
driver work correctly.
Also fix some mtx_lock_spin()s and mtx_unlock_spin()s that should
have been just plain mtx_lock()s and mtx_unlock()s.
In kern_ndis.c: remove duplicate code from ndis_send_packets() and
just call the senddone handler (ndis_txeof()).
flag so that it can see if the message string is unicode or not and
do the conversion itself rather than doing it in subr_pe.c. This
prevents subr_pe.c from being dependent on subr_ndis.c.
the RT_MESSAGETABLE resources that some driver binaries have.
This allows us to print error messages in ndis_syslog().
- Correct the implementation of InterlockedIncrement() and
InterlockedDecrement() -- they return uint32_t, not void.
- Correct the declarations of the 64-bit arithmetic shift
routines in subr_ntoskrnl.c (_allshr, allshl, etc...). These
do not follow the _stdcall convention: instead, they appear
to be __attribute__((regparm(3)).
- Change the implementation of KeInitializeSpinLock(). There is
no complementary KeFreeSpinLock() function, so creating a new
mutex on each call to KeInitializeSpinLock() leaks resources
when a driver is unloaded. For now, KeInitializeSpinLock()
returns a handle to the ntoskrnl interlock mutex.
- Use a driver's MiniportDisableInterrupt() and MiniportEnableInterrupt()
routines if they exist. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
yet, but at the very least this shouldn't break any currently
working drivers, and it makes the Intel PRO/1000 driver work.
- In ndis_register_intr(), save some state that might be needed
later, and save a pointer to the driver's interrupt structure
in the ndis_miniport_block.
- Save a pointer to the driver image for use by ndis_syslog()
when it calls pe_get_message().
and MiniportHandleInterrupt() is fired off later via a task queue in
ndis_intrtask(). This more accurately follows the NDIS interrupt handling
model, where the ISR does a minimal amount of work in interrupt context
and the handler is defered and run at a lower priority.
Create a separate ndis_intrmtx mutex just for the guarding the ISR.
Modify NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() to aquire the ndis_intrmtx
mutex before invoking the synchronized procedure. (The purpose of
this function is to provide mutual exclusion for code that shares
variables with the ISR.)
Modify NdisMRegisterInterrupt() to save a pointer to the miniport
block in the ndis_miniport_interrupt structure so that
NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() can grab it later and derive
ndis_intrmtx from it.

Remove debug printf from ndis_assicn_pcirsc(). It doesn't serve
much purpose.
Implement NdisMIndicateStatus() and NdisMIndicateStatusComplete()
as functions in subr_ndis.c. In NDIS 4.0, they were functions. In
NDIS 5.0 and later, they're just macros.
Allocate a few extra packets/buffers beyond what the driver asks
for since sometimes it seems they can lie about how many they really

calling the haltfunc. If an interrupt is triggered by the init
or halt func, the IFF_UP flag must be set in order for us to be able
to service it.
In kern_ndis.c: implement a handler for NdisMSendResourcesAvailable()
(currently does nothing since we don't really need it).
In subr_ndis.c:
- Correct ndis_init_string() and ndis_unicode_to_ansi(),
which were both horribly broken.
- Implement NdisImmediateReadPciSlotInformation() and
NdisImmediateWritePciSlotInformation().
- Implement NdisBufferLength().
- Work around my first confirmed NDIS driver bug.
The SMC 9462 gigE driver (natsemi 83820-based copper)
incorrectly creates a spinlock in its DriverEntry()
routine and then destroys it in its MiniportHalt()
handler. This is wrong: spinlocks should be created
in MiniportInit(). In a Windows environment, this is
often not a problem because DriverEntry()/MiniportInit()
are called once when the system boots and MiniportHalt()
or the shutdown handler is called when the system halts.
With this stuff in place, this driver now seems to work:
ndis0: <SMC EZ Card 1000> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xda000000-0xda000fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ndis0: assign PCI resources...
ndis_open_file("FLASH9.hex", 18446744073709551615)
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:0e:d3:f0
subr_ndis.c: implement NdisDprAllocatePacket() and NdisDprFreePacket()
(which are aliased to NdisAllocatePacket() and NdisFreePacket()), and
bump the value we return in ndis_mapreg_cnt() to something ridiculously
large, since some drivers apparently expect to be able to allocate
way more than just 64.
These changes allow the Level 1 1000baseSX driver to work for
the following card:
ndis0: <SMC TigerCard 1000 Adapter> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xda004000-0xda0043ff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:29:6f:cc:04
This is already supported by the lge(4) driver, but I decided
to take a try at making the Windows driver that came with it work too,
since I still had the floppy diskette for it lying around.

subr_ndis.c: correct the behavior of ndis_query_resources(): if the

how much it needs to provide and return an error.

Lastly, correct spelling of "_aullshr" in the ntoskrnl functable.

Add a -n flag to ndiscvt to allow the user to override the default
device name of NDIS devices. Instead of "ndis0, ndis1, etc..."
you can have "foo0, foo1, etc..." This allows you to have more than
one kind of NDIS device in the kernel at the same time.
Convert from printf() to device_printf() in if_ndis.c, kern_ndis.c

have done this myself if I knew it was allowed) and combine two register

- if_ndis.c: set the NDIS_STATUS_PENDING flag on all outgoing packets

- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_send_packets(), avoid dereferencing NULL pointers
created when the driver's send routine immediately calls the txeof

- In if_ndis.c:ndis_80211_setstate(), implement WEP support.
method with something a little more intelligent: use BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST()
to run through all resources allocated to us and map them as needed. This
way we know exactly what resources need to be mapped and what their RIDs
are without having to guess. This simplifies both ndis_attach() and
ndis_convert_res(), and eliminates the unfriendly "ndisX: couldn't map
<foo>" messages that are sometimes emitted during driver load.
nb_size field in an ndis_buffer is meant to represent, but it does not
represent the original allocation size, so the sanity check doesn't
make any sense now that we're using the Windows-mandated initialization
method.
Among other things, this makes the following card work with the
NDISulator:
ndis0: <NETGEAR PA301 Phoneline10X PCI Adapter> mem 0xda004000-0xda004fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
This is that notoriously undocumented 10Mbps HomePNA Broadcom chipset
that people wanted support for many moons ago. Sadly, the only other
HomePNA NIC I have handy is a 1Mbps device, so I can't actually do
any 10Mbps performance tests, but it talks to my 1Mbps ADMtek card
just fine.
For received packets, an status of NDIS_STATUS_RESOURCES means we need
to copy the packet data and return the ndis_packet to the driver immediatel.
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means we get to hold onto the packet, but we have
to set the status to NDIS_STATUS_PENDING so the driver knows we're
going to hang onto it for a while.
For transmit packets, NDIS_STATUS_PENDING means the driver will
asynchronously return the packet to us via the ndis_txeof() routine,
and NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS means the driver sent the frame, and NDIS
(i.e. the OS) retains ownership of the packet and can free it
right away.
evaluate them. Whatever they're meant to do, they're doing it wrong.
Also:
- Clean up last bits of NULL fallout in subr_pe
- Don't let ndis_ifmedia_sts() do anything if the IFF_UP flag isn't set
- Implement NdisSystemProcessorCount() and NdisQueryMapRegisterCount().
packet being freed has NDIS_STATUS_PENDING in the status field of
the OOB data. Finish implementing the "alternative" packet-releasing
function so it doesn't crash.
For those that are curious about ndis0: <ORiNOCO 802.11abg ComboCard Gold>:

Not bad!
The log message for rev.1.160 of kern/uipc_syscalls.c and associated
changes only claimed to add restrict qualifiers (which have no effect in
the kernel so they probably shouldn't be added), but the following
interface changes were also made:
- caddr_t to `void *' and `struct sockaddr_t *'
- `int *' to `socklen_t *'.
These interface changes are not quite null, and this fix is quick (like
the changes in uipc_syscalls 1.160) because it uses bogus casts instead
of complete bounds-checked conversions.
Things should be fixed better when the conversions can be done without
using the stack gap. linux_check_hdrincl() already uses the stack gap
and is fixed completely though the type mismatches in it were not fatal
(there were only fatal type mismatches from unopaquing pointers to
[o]sockaddr't's -- the difference between accept()'s args and oaccept()'s
args is now non-opaque, but this is not reflected in their args structs).
mbuf<->packet housekeeping. Instead, add a couple of extra fields
to the end of ndis_packet. These should be invisible to the Windows
driver module.
This also lets me get rid of a little bit of evil from ndis_ptom()
(frobbing of the ext_buf field instead of relying on the MEXTADD()
macro).
- Fix ndis_time().
- Implement NdisGetSystemUpTime().
- Implement RtlCopyUnicodeString() and RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString().
- In ndis_getstate_80211(), use sc->ndis_link to determine connect

- Add explicit cardbus attachment in if_ndis.c
- Clean up after moving bus_setup_intr() in ndis_attach().
- When setting an ssid, program an empty ssid as a 1-byte string
with a single 0 byte. The Microsoft documentation says this is
how you're supposed to tell the NIC to attach to 'any' ssid.
- Keep trace of callout handles for timers externally from the
ndis_miniport_timer structs, and run through and clobber them
all after invoking the haltfunc just in case the driver left one
running. (We need to make sure all timers are cancelled on driver
unload.)
- Handle the 'cancelled' argument in ndis_cancel_timer() correctly.
NDIS_80211_NET_INFRA_BSS: I accidentally reversed them during
transcription from the Microsoft headers. Note that the
driver will default to BSS mode, and you need to specify
'mediaopt adhoc' to get it into IBSS mode.
supposed to be opaque to the driver, however it is exposed through
several macros which expect certain behavior. In my original
implementation, I used the mappedsystemva member of the structure
to hold a pointer to the buffer and bytecount to hold the length.
It turns out you must use the startva pointer to point to the
page containing the start of the buffer and set byteoffset to
the offset within the page where the buffer starts. So, for a buffer
with address 'baseva,' startva is baseva & ~(PAGE_SIZE -1) and
byteoffset is baseva & (PAGE_SIZE -1). We have to maintain this
convention everywhere that ndis_buffers are used.
Fortunately, Microsoft defines some macros for initializing and
manipulating NDIS_BUFFER structures in ntddk.h. I adapted some
of them for use here and used them where appropriate.
This fixes the discrepancy I observed between how RX'ed packet sizes
were being reported in the Broadcom wireless driver and the sample
ethernet drivers that I've tested. This should also help the
Intel Centrino wireless driver work.
Also try to properly initialize the 802.11 BSS and IBSS channels.
(Sadly, the channel value is meaningless since there's no way
in the existing NDIS API to get/set the channel, but this should
take care of any 'invalid channel (NULL)' messages printed on
the console.
In NdisQueryBuffer() and NdisQueryBufferSafe(), the vaddr argument is
optional, so test it before trying to dereference it.
Also correct NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacket()/NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacketSafe():
we need to use nb_mappedsystemva from the buffer, not nb_systemva.
routines: NdisUnchainBufferAtBack(), NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacketSafe()
and NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacket(). This should bring us a little
closer to getting the Intel centrino wireless NIC to work.
Note: I have not actually tested these additions since I don't
have a driver that calls them, however they're pretty simple, and
one of them is taken pretty much directly from the Windows ndis.h
header file, so I'm fairly confident they work, but disclaimers
apply.
- Make ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info() sleep on the setdone/getdone
routines if they get back NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.
- Add a bunch of net80211 support so that 802.11 cards can be twiddled
with ifconfig. This still needs more work and is not guaranteed to
work for everyone. It works on my 802.11b/g card anyway.
The problem here is Microsoft doesn't provide a good way to a) learn
all the rates that a card supports (if it has more than 8, you're
kinda hosed) and b) doesn't provide a good way to distinguish between
802.11b, 802.11b/g an 802.11a/b/g cards, so you sort of have to guess.
Setting the SSID and switching between infrastructure/adhoc modes
should work. WEP still needs to be implemented. I can't find any API

definitions for more than one device (usually differentiated by
the PCI subvendor/subdevice ID). Each device also has its own tree
of registry keys. In some cases, each device has the same keys, but
sometimes each device has a unique tree but with overlap. Originally,
I just had ndiscvt(8) dump out all the keys it could find, and we
would try to apply them to every device we could find. Now, each key
has an index number that matches it to a device in the device ID list.
This lets us create just the keys that apply to a particular device.
I also added an extra field to the device list to hold the subvendor
and subdevice ID.
Some devices are generic, i.e. there is no subsystem definition. If
we have a device that doesn't match a specific subsystem value and
we have a generic entry, we use the generic entry.
