IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.

support for birthtime/nanosec timestamps and dir_index that
have been added lately.
The implementation may not work for all ext4 filesystems as
it doesn't support some features that are being enabled by
default on recent linux like flex_bg. Nevertheless, the feature
should be very useful for migration or simple access in
filesystems that have been converted from ext2/3 or don't use
incompatible features.

all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.
Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.
There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.
/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */

# tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire
If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.

modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally

for the WB195 combo NIC - an AR9285 w/ an AR3011 USB bluetooth NIC.
The AR3011 is wired up using a 3-wire coexistence scheme to the AR9285.
The code in if_ath_btcoex.c sets up the initial hardware mapping
and coexistence configuration. There's nothing special about it -
it's static; it doesn't try to configure bluetooth / MAC traffic priorities
or try to figure out what's actually going on. It's enough to stop basic
bluetooth traffic from causing traffic stalls and diassociation from
the wireless network.
To use this code, you must have the above NIC. No, it won't work
for the AR9287+AR3012, nor the AR9485, AR9462 or AR955x combo cards.
Then you set a kernel hint before boot or before kldload, where 'X'
is the unit number of your AR9285 NIC:
# kenv hint.ath.X.btcoex_profile=wb195
This will then appear in your boot messages:
[100482] athX: Enabling WB195 BTCOEX
This code is going to evolve pretty quickly (well, depending upon my
spare time) so don't assume the btcoex API is going to stay stable.
In order to use the bluetooth side, you must also load in firmware using
ath3kfw and the binary firmware file (ath3k-1.fw in my case.)
Tested:
* AR9280, no interference
* WB195 - AR9285 + AR3011 combo; STA mode; basic bluetooth inquiries
were enough to cause traffic stalls and disassociations. This has
stopped with the btcoex profile code.
TODO:
* Importantly - the AR9285 needs ASPM disabled if bluetooth coexistence
is enabled. No, I don't know why. It's likely some kind of bug to do
with the AR3011 sending bluetooth coexistence signals whilst the device
is asleep. Since we don't actually sleep the MAC just yet, it shouldn't
be a problem. That said, to be totally correct:
+ ASPM should be disabled - upon attach and wakeup
+ The PCIe powersave HAL code should never be called
Look at what the ath9k driver does for inspiration.
* Add WB197 (AR9287+AR3012) support
* Add support for the AR9485, which is another combo like the AR9285
* The later NICs have a different signaling mechanism between the MAC
and the bluetooth device; I haven't even begun to experiment with
making that HAL code work. But it should be a lot more automatic.
* The hardware can do much more interesting traffic weighting with
bluetooth and wifi traffic. None of this is currently used.
Ideally someone would code up something to watch the bluetooth traffic
GPIO (via an interrupt) and then watch it go high/low; then figure out
what the bluetooth traffic is and adjust things appropriately.
* If I get the time I may add in some code to at least track this stuff
and expose statistics. But it's up to someone else to experiment with
the bluetooth coexistence support and add the interesting stuff (like
"real" detection of bulk, audio, etc bluetooth traffic patterns and
change wifi parameters appropriately - eg, maximum aggregate length,
transmit power, using quiet time to control TX duty cycle, etc.)
