25 * This implements an ethernet device for the i2400m.
27 * We fake being an ethernet device to simplify the support from user
28 * space and from the other side. The world is (sadly) configured to
29 * take in only Ethernet devices...
31 * Because of this, when using firmwares <= v1.3, there is an
32 * copy-each-rxed-packet overhead on the RX path. Each IP packet has
33 * to be reallocated to add an ethernet header (as there is no space
34 * in what we get from the device). This is a known drawback and
35 * firmwares >= 1.4 add header space that can be used to insert the
36 * ethernet header without having to reallocate and copy.
38 * TX error handling is tricky; because we have to FIFO/queue the
39 * buffers for transmission (as the hardware likes it aggregated), we
40 * just give the skb to the TX subsystem and by the time it is
41 * transmitted, we have long forgotten about it. So we just don't care
44 * Note that when the device is in idle mode with the basestation, we
45 * need to negotiate coming back up online. That involves negotiation
46 * and possible user space interaction. Thus, we defer to a workqueue
47 * to do all that. By default, we only queue a single packet and drop
48 * the rest, as potentially the time to go back from idle to normal is
53 * i2400m_open Called on ifconfig up
