Add infrastructure to allow all frames/packets received on an interface
to be assigned to a non-default FIB instance.

X-MFC: use spare in struct ifnet


# 222527 31-May-2011 bz

Conditionally compile in the af_inet and af_inet6, af_nd6 modules.
If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3)
to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related
options.

In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the
usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything
but inet in theory). Unfortunately people are used to
ifconfig IF up/down
etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link". Adjust the man page
to reflect these minor details.

Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage
telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.

# 197138 12-Sep-2009 hrs

Improve flexibility of receiving Router Advertisement and
automatic link-local address configuration:

- Convert a sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv to one for the
default value of a per-IF flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a
global knob. The default value of the sysctl is 0.

- Add a new per-IF flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL and convert a
sysctl net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal to one for its default
value. The default value of the sysctl is 1.

- Make ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED more robust. It can be used to disable
IPv6 functionality of an interface now.

- Receiving RA is allowed if ip6_forwarding==0 *and*
ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set on that interface. The former
condition will be revisited later to support a "host + router" box
like IPv6 CPE router. The current behavior is compatible with
the older releases of FreeBSD.

- The ifconfig(8) now supports these ND6 flags as well as "nud",
"prefer_source", and "disabled" in ndp(8). The ndp(8) now
supports "auto_linklocal".

# 193664 07-Jun-2009 hrs

Fix and add a workaround on an issue of EtherIP packet with reversed
version field sent via gif(4)+if_bridge(4). The EtherIP
implementation found on FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 had
an interoperability issue because it sent the incorrect EtherIP
packets and discarded the correct ones.

This change introduces the following two flags to gif(4):

accept_rev_ethip_ver: accepts both correct EtherIP packets and ones
with reversed version field, if enabled. If disabled, the gif
accepts the correct packets only. This flag is enabled by
default.

send_rev_ethip_ver: sends EtherIP packets with reversed version field
intentionally, if enabled. If disabled, the gif sends the correct
packets only. This flag is disabled by default.

These flags are stored in struct gif_softc and can be set by
ifconfig(8) on per-interface basis.

Note that this is an incompatible change of EtherIP with the older
FreeBSD releases. If you need to interoperate older FreeBSD boxes and
new versions after this commit, setting "send_rev_ethip_ver" is
needed.

loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

# 168793 16-Apr-2007 thompsa

Rename the trunk(4) driver to lagg(4) as it is too similar to vlan trunking.

The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.

The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.

# 156905 20-Mar-2006 ru

Extend coverage of the MK_IPX build option to the following:

- <netipx> headers [1]
- IPX library (libipx)
- IPX support in ifconfig(8)
- IPXrouted(8)
- new MK_NCP option

New MK_NCP build option controls:

- <netncp> and <fs/nwfs> headers
- NCP library (libncp)
- ncplist(1) and ncplogin(1)
- mount_nwfs(8)
- ncp and nwfs kernel modules

User knobs: WITHOUT_IPX, WITHOUT_IPX_SUPPORT, WITHOUT_NCP.

[1] <netsmb/netbios.h> unconditionally uses <netipx> headers
so they are still installed. This needs to be dealt with.

# 138593 08-Dec-2004 sam

Overhaul to cleanup some of the tangled logic that's grown over the years.

o break per-address family support out into separate files
o modularize per-address family and functional operations using
a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according
to which files you include (but beware that order of the files
is important to insure backwards compatibility)
o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables,
and poor coding practices (still much more to fix)

The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition
of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various
little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig
plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be
completed.

o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some
of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different
program

Use CFLAGS, not COPTS, in the Makefile. bsd.prog.mk conveniently adds
COPTS towards the end of final CFLAGS so that it can be used to
override Makefile and other defaults. Using it in Makefiles risks
having options set using it clobbered when somebody uses it on the
command line.

Currently, each wireless networking driver has it's own control program

regardless of which card they have. It has been repeatidly suggested
that this configuration should be done via ifconfig. This patch

wi and an drivers. It also provides partial, untested support for the

# 19914 21-Nov-1996 wollman

Fix lots of non-bug questionable code:

- Don't link against libkvm and don't uselessly include <kvm.h>.
- Declare constant objects as const.
- Declare functions with the correct types.
- Call functions with the correct parameters.

Not fixed:

- The sysctl parsing remains ugly (but it may be the best we can do).
- atnetrange() should use strtoul() rather than sscanf() for better
error checking.

# 5298 30-Dec-1994 jkh

From: Wankle Rotary Engine <wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu>

- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
have it.

- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.
