# 347511 12-May-2019 avos

MFC r346073:
urtw(4), otus(4), iwi(4): allow to set non-default MAC address via ifconfig(8)

Was tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (RTL8187B, urtw(4)), STA mode.


# 346005 07-Apr-2019 avos

MFC r345751:
uath(4), urtw(4): restart driver if device does not respond after Tx request


# 346003 07-Apr-2019 avos

MFC r345729:
urtw(4): export TSF timestamp for received frames via radiotap

Was tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (RTL8187B), STA mode.


# 345636 28-Mar-2019 avos

MFC r344990:
Fix ieee80211_radiotap(9) usage in wireless drivers:

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.

- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.


# 345570 27-Mar-2019 avos

MFC r344994:
urtw(4): add promiscuous mode callback

Also, pass control frames to the host while in MONITOR mode and / or
when promiscuous mode is enabled.

Was tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (RTL8187B), STA / MONITOR modes.


# 343976 10-Feb-2019 avos

MFC r343474:
Remove 2GHz channel list copies from wireless drivers.

Wrap ieee80211_add_channel_list_2ghz into another function
which supplies default (1-14) channel list to it and drop
its copies from drivers.


# 343760 05-Feb-2019 avos

MFC r343541:
Drop some unneeded includes from wireless USB drivers.


# 343515 28-Jan-2019 avos

MFC r343238:
urtw(4): add length checks in Rx path.

- Check if buffer can contain Rx descriptor before accessing it.
- Verify upper / lower bounds for frame length.
- Do not pass too short frames into ieee80211_find_rxnode().

While here:
- Move cleanup to the function end.


# 302408 07-Jul-2016 gjb

# 299176 06-May-2016 pfg

dev/usb: unsigned some loop indexes.

Although usually small, values produced by nitems() are unsigned.
By unsigning the corresponding indexes we avoid signed vs unsigned
comparisons. This may have some effect on performance, although given the
small sizes the effect will not be perceivable, and it makes the code
clearer.

Respect the style of the changed files: one uses u_int while the other
uses "unsigned int".

Create a USB_PNP_INFO and use it to export the existing PNP
tables. Some drivers needed some slight re-arrangement of declarations
to accommodate this. Change the USB pnp tables slightly to allow
better compatibility with the system by moving linux driver info from
start of each entry to the end. All other PNP tables in the system
have the per-device flags and such at the end of the elements rather
that at the beginning.

# 287197 27-Aug-2015 glebius

Replay r286410. Change KPI of how device drivers that provide wireless
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.

Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.

Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:

- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.

Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.

Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)

# 267961 27-Jun-2014 hselasky

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Add new tunable 'net.link.ifqmaxlen' to set default send interface
queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

net80211 rate control framework (net80211 ratectl).

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).

[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

overhauls urtw(4) for supporting RTL8187B devices properly that there
was major changes to initialize RF chipset and set H/W registers and
removed a lot of magic numbers on code. Details are as follows:

- uses the endpoint 0x89 to get TX status information which used to
get TX complete or retry numbers or get a beacon interrupt. It's
only valuable for RTL8187B.
- removes urtw_write[8|16|32]_i functions that it's useless now.
- uses ic->ic_updateslot to set SLOT, SIFS, DIES, EIFS, CW_VAL
registers that doesn't set these whenever the channel is changed.
- code for initializing RF chipset for RTL8187B changed a lot that
there was many problems on TX transfers so it doesn't work properly
even if just for a ping/pong. Now it becomes more stable than
before that TX throughputs using netperf(1) were about 15 ~ 17Mbps/s
though sometimes it encounters packet losses.
- removes a lot of magic numbers that in the previous all of
representing RX and TX descriptors were consisted of magic numbers
and structures. It'd be more readable rather than before.
- calculates TX duration more accurately for urtw(4) devices.
- style(9)

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/
IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.
