wireless ever since I added the new spinlock code. Previously, I added a special ndis_rxeof_serial() function to insure that when we receive a packet, we never end up calling the MiniportReturnPacket() routine until after the receive handler has finished. I set things up so that ndis_rxeof_serial() would only be used for serialized miniports since they depend on this property. Well, it turns out deserialized miniports depend on a similar property: you can't let MiniportReturnPacket() be called from the same context as the receive handler at all. The 2100B driver happens to use a single spinlock for all of its synchronization, and it tries to acquire it both while in MiniportHandleInterrupt() and in MiniportReturnPacket(), so if we call MiniportReturnPacket() from the MiniportHandleInterrupt() context, we will end up trying to acquire the spinlock recursively, which you can't do. To fix this, I made the ndis_rxeof_serial() handler the default. An alternate solution would be to make ndis_return_packet() submit the call to MiniportReturnPacket() to the NDIS task queue thread. I may do that in the future, after I've tested things a bit more.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
