bitmaps that may occur. The way this works is: * the beginning of the radiotap frame has a 32 bit "radiotap" namespace bitmap; * if the vendor bitmap bit is set, then the next bitmap will be interpreted as a vendor bitmap; * this can keep going on and on (ie, more vendor and radiotap namespace bitmaps can be added) until the last bitmap with no "more bitmaps" set. Now, the radiotap code gets its grubby fingers into the supplied radiotap rx/tx buffer and replaces the channel configuration for each frame. I don't know why it's not up to the drivers themselves to do this, but I digress. So, if a vendor bitmap (or two, etc) exists, the offset calculations will be all completely wrong. This particular patch introduces ieee80211_radiotap_attachv(), which includes the number of vendor bitmaps (well, any other bitmaps, vendor or otherwise) between the end of the bitmap/header and the start of the actual radiotap field entries. This makes the radiotap calculations "right", so it correctly calculates where to overwrite the channel configuration. The long term fix is to go through and make each driver update the channel configuration, as some of the fields are already being updated. That, however, is a longer term fix that will need each driver fixed. I leave that as an exercise to someone in the future.
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 ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. 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.
