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, currently there is an copy-each-rxed-packet
32 * overhead on the RX path. Each IP packet has to be reallocated to
33 * add an ethernet header (as there is no space in what we get from
34 * the device). This is a known drawback and coming versions of the
35 * device's firmware are being changed to add header space that can be
36 * used to insert the ethernet header without having to reallocate and
39 * TX error handling is tricky; because we have to FIFO/queue the
40 * buffers for transmission (as the hardware likes it aggregated), we
41 * just give the skb to the TX subsystem and by the time it is
42 * transmitted, we have long forgotten about it. So we just don't care
45 * Note that when the device is in idle mode with the basestation, we
46 * need to negotiate coming back up online. That involves negotiation
47 * and possible user space interaction. Thus, we defer to a workqueue
48 * to do all that. By default, we only queue a single packet and drop
49 * the rest, as potentially the time to go back from idle to normal is
