List of functional changes:
- Make a single device per single node with a single hook.
This gives us parrallelizm, which can't be achieved on a single
node with many devices/hooks. This also gives us flexibility - we
can play with a particular device node, not affecting others.
- Remove read queue as it is. Use struct ifqueue instead. This change
removes a lot of extra memcpy()ing, m_devget()ting and m_copymem()ming.
In ng_device_receivedata() we enqueue an mbuf and wake readers.
In ngdread() we take one mbuf from qeueue and uiomove() it to
userspace. If no mbuf is present we optionally block. [1]
- In ngdwrite() we create an mbuf from uio using m_uiotombuf().
This is faster then uiomove() into buffer, and then m_copydata(),
and this is much better than huge m_pullup().
- Perform locking of device
- Perform locking of connection list.
- Clear out _rcvmsg method, since it does nothing good yet.
- Implement NGM_DEVICE_GET_DEVNAME message.
- #if 0 ioctl method, while nothing is done here yet.
- Return immediately from ngdwrite() if uio_resid == 0.
List of tidyness changes:
- Introduce device2priv(), to remove cut'n'paste.
- Use MALLOC/FREE, instead of malloc/free.
- Use unit2minor().
- Use UID_ROOT/GID_WHEEL instead of 0/0.
- Define NGD_DEVICE_DEVNAME, use it.
- Use more nice macros for debugging. [2]
- Return Exxx, not -1.
style(9) changes:
- No "#endif" after short block.
- Break long lines.
- Remove extra spaces, add needed spaces.

ethernet (tested) and FDDI (not tested). The main use for this is on ADSL (or
other ATM) connections where bridged ethernet is used, PPPoE being a prime
example.
There is no manual page as yet, I will write one shortly.

message encoding and decoding stuff into the base module. All of this
is accessed by several of the NgATM modules and putting this into
atmbase reduceds the memory footprint.
ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
we have the rc4 code already in the kernel (via wlan stuff or awi).
Add a dependency on the rc4 module so if it doesn't exist then load it.

These makefiles work when building in the sys/modules directory, but
not with the objdir stuff that buildkernel uses. This is because they
used -I../../../blah rather than -I${.CURDIR}/../../../blah.
# I didn't fix the abuse of CFLAGS to specify -g since I wanted the
# barest minimal change since we're in a code freeze.

Hat for armchair anarchists: core member fixing src tree damage
Has been seen to work on several cards and communicating with
several mobile phones to use them as modems etc.
We are still talking with 3com to try get them to allow us to include
the firmware for their pccard in the driver but the driver is here..
In the mean time
it can be downloaded from the 3com website and loaded using the utility
bt3cfw(8) (supplied) (instructions in the man page)

This is NOT YET CONVERTED TO -current.
This node is a source for preprogrammed packets at a known rate for testing.
I will convert it to -current "in place" but will MFC teh original
pre-conversion variant as that is what is originally submitted.

These are really only partly netgraph nodes as they do not use the
netgraph interfaces for many of the functions for which they could
be used, however they represent important functionality.
