from the sys Makefile's SUBDIRs. This is conditioned in make.conf by the
NO_MODULES variable and the existence of the modules directory. The
actual location of the modules is not modified. Changes in Makefiles
only, this does not affect Peter's recent changes.
Reviewed by: Peter Wemm, who warned me I would get some flack, and
he had the good idea for the NO_MODULES variable.
are two supported chips, the NetChip 1080 (only prototypes available)
and the EzLink cable. Any other cable should be supported however as they
are all very much alike (there is a difference between them wrt
performance).
It uses Netgraph.
This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.
so that it gets run after the .kld file generation. If it's run before,
the linker sets are closed off and bound inside the .kld file which makes
it useless for binding into a static kernel as the linker_set's will not
be connected...
via the MODULE_VERSION() and MODULE_DEPEND() macros that both the loader
and kld system know how to deal with. The old DT_NEEDED tag is still
supported by the loader (and will remain supported for a while) - but the
kernel side presently doesn't know how to deal with DT_NEEDED.
file names with its FreeBSD equivalents.
Remove references to some debuging tools which would never appear in FreeBSD.
Use mdoc(7) macros in proper places.
Give a credit to Youshinobu Inoue for his efforts on KAME kit integration to
the FreeBSD main source tree.
Remove evil allocation macros from machdep.c (why was that there???) and
use malloc() instead.
Move paramters out of param.h and into the code itself.
Move a bunch of internal definitions from public sys/*.h headers (without
#ifdef _KERNEL even) into the code itself.
I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing
wakeups on all sleeping processes on old arrays was too frightening.
The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.
