Hi Jean-Pierre,
Impressive work and congrats on a successful resolution and NDIS
implementation!
Can you and Jim please update the bug ticket as well?
I have yet to test it with my card by building the bcmndis driver
against more different Broadcom distros, and refine the Makefile
if needed for OI building in one step. Also, this work focused on
64-bit drivers, and was not tested (nor really built) with 32-bit.
Most of the issues I had to deal with (non-execution of data,
multimedia registers, etc.) are specific to 64-bit implementation,
and (though not tested), the emulator should be usable in 32-bit
mode when using the former procedure which linked to the driver
at run-time. Actually this would be like using the older
ndis-1.2.6.
I have also developed some code to link at build time to a
32-bit driver, this is integrated in ndis-1.3.0.rc2, but
unfinished (low priority, and probably not much useful).
I wonder if this should be looked into, and if 32-bit kernel is
still really used anywhere relevant (laptops, netbooks)?
Finally, I wonder if anyone in the community can help about WPA
and/or WPA2 implementation - which for NDIS is apparently buried
in the Windows drivers and not directly integratable with illumos
WPA (such as Enrico's work)?
To be more precise, the Broadcom drivers come with their full
encryption stack buried into them, with a fairly acceptable
specification from Microsoft for their interface (NDIS5).
I just have to bridge them to OpenIndiana, but I have much
difficulties getting information from the OpenIndiana side.
The entry point to the appropriate interface is described in :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1478/mac-callbacks-9s.html#scrolltoc
but I need details on the mentioned callbacks (particularly
mc_setprop and mc_getprop) : under which conditions they are
called with which arguments to mean what, and what is the
expected reply....
