The model that I see with the linux kernel newbies is way more active and reciprocal. There are clearly detailed projects(at least that's my impression) that are spec'd out by more senior engineers. Those projects can be assigned to more junior coders for implementation. Things like Documentation updates, driver cleanups and application of coding/style(9) standards would be a nice introduction for many people. In addition, it could become a place for manufacturers to come to get drivers written for their h/w a la the linux driver project --> http://linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome Unfortunately, it does require a lot of attention from mid-level and more senior coders to keep the ball rolling. > I thought that's what this list was for... > > Indeed it is. The linux kernel has it's own mailing list, yet the kernel newbies project was created. Maybe they are doing extra or redundant work, or maybe there's something to learn from it? Sean P.S. Is this off-topic for this list? If so, I'll take it somewhere else.

Maybe we should create a wiki for these topics; also, the arch-handbook needs some updates to reflect recent development of FreeBSD kernel (i.e. provide some pointers for Linux and/or Windows driver developers to develop native FreeBSD drivers, etc).

For me personally FreeBSD project was the best place to start for doing anything related with device drivers and kernel and low-level programming in general. Although I don't know if there's a place similar to what Linux hackers have, but freebsd-hackers@ and freebsd-drivers@ are good places to start. I think there is non-written agreement of what is considered to be useful across the kernel, and what seems to be a pretty standard toolset for all kernel developers. Those are: - ioctl() handler: You have very simple example in src/share/examples/kld. - sysctl handler: You have appropriate manual pages (SYSCTL_, sysctl). Within src/sys/kern/... directory there are number of files implementing static sysctls as well as handlers declared with SYSCTL_PROC(), which let you to have an easy way between kernel and user space for exchanging data - system call within your own file hooked to the kernel configuration: This task was pretty educational for me. It gives a sort of feeling of knowing, where to look in case something goes wrong with your future work (it involves a bit of knowledge of FreeBSD build infrastructure). Good places to look at: - src/sys/conf/... - src/sys/i386/conf/... (or whethever your computer architecture is) - src/sys/kern/... (geteuid() from src/sys/kern/kern_prot.c is good example). Remember about style(9). We could put results of experiments like that on the FreeBSD Wiki page if you're bored and could take some snapshots/source code examples for others. If you've done some (or all) of those already, you can look at FreeBSD page about proposed ideas and problems to solve: - http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ That's a pity we don't have freebsd-kernel@ to discuss only kernel-related ideas, where advanced kernel programmers could share with us some of their "tips & tricks". Hopefully, you also get some feedback from one of those as a follow-up. -- Wojciech A.

Sorry in case this does not interest you. I was just checking whether we have WOL support in Broadcom drivers. I had a look at the current source and could not find the support. Is this in the list of todo's?? Can this feature not be supported due to design issues? Is somebody trying this out somewhere?

Look into freebsd-hackers@ mail archive. In the previous month there was a discussion about WOL support. Look to topics: 1. FreeBSD WOL sis on 2.

Stefan Sperling was doing the heavy lifting of making the various drivers WOL aware. Jack Vogel indicated em already has the necessary support in the driver so hooking it up shouldn't be a big deal. Broadcom devices are another matter.

But only legacy support and the code has known issues. But people have reported some success with it. No eta on proper support. Sam
