Hi!

This stuff should go into the freebsd specific header file, as other OSes are using this wifi stack now!

Hi Adrian,

How would I hook vap_attach from the freebsd header? Thanks!

(The stuff below can move, no problem.)

Create a separate function, say ieee80211_netdump_attach(), and then the non-freebsd OSes can stub it out.

I guess I could hang something off of ieee80211_sysctl_vattach but that seems kind of ugly.

Can do, thanks

I strongly prefer to avoid the ifdef here: the bloat is not significant, and it ensures that KLDs have the same view of the struct layout. I think it's not uncommon for people to compile wifi drivers out-of-tree.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Sep 25 2018, 1:35 AM

Yeah, I agree. Will fix.

Yeah please don't ifdef the structure definitions. I need to go do a pass at some point to make that not be a problem; it's 2018 :)

Are you ok with #if FreeBSD or do you think we should leave the field in on other OS as well? I don't have any preference. Thanks!

Since you can get away with a forward declaration of the struct, I can't imagine that the field would cause problems on other OS'.

Sure, just struct bloat there.

@adrian , is there any chance I could convince you to take this and run with it? I don't currently have FreeBSD running bare metal on a laptop to test this and commit it, but I would love to see it land eventually.

looks fine to me, other OSes won't use it but it won't matter. Land it!

Ok, cool
