P1 Dev Task Status

Items that need some design/planning/task breakdown:

Name	Description	Estimated Duration*	Status
Michael	dhcp part of interface state machine: more of an event source than state (need to clarify documentation)	2 days
Michael	dhcp inform transactions: need to deal with the fact that we won't get updates		RFE
Renee	investigate PSARC TCA for VNIC support	2 days	done
Alan	wireless interaction: known WLAN interactions: add known WLAN object list to nwamd, use it to select previously-visited WLANs from scan data (1 day) WLAN events: ensure events are sent to clients on WLAN scan, connect/disconnect/connect error, need key/need WLAN selection (2 days) WLAN algorithm: from scan, determine if any visited before. If not, send "need choice" event. If visited WLAN found, attempt to connect, using key if specified. If no keyname is set for WLAN, send "need key" event. If multiple keynames are found, try all until connect succeeds (connect should be done in separate thread). Use connect success test packet to validate connection success. (2 days) WLAN requests in door_if.c. Need to trigger connect based on an explicit WLAN selection done via nwam_wlan_select(), and need to create a key for known WLAN as part of nwam_wlan_set_key(). Both these are handled in door_if.c (2 days) Messy edges task (overlap wiith picea work below)? (5 days)	12 days	items 1-4 done
Michael	link_authassoc state handling: needs to be able to handle extensibility for things like 802.1X, PPPoE, ... (primarily documentation)	2 days
Michael	Debug approach: logging vs. tracing (primarily documentation)	1 day
Michael	priv escalation/setuid brackets need to be thread safe	1 day	done
Renee/ all	picea lessons learned: look at edge cases, bug fixes, etc; make sure we deal with those cases I've tried to keep bugfixes in NWAM related code in-sync (provided that corresponding code existed in our gate. The fixes for the following CRs have been incorporated into the gate: 6804774 nwamd can fail due to lack of privilege when calling dladm_open 6766937 nwam fails to configure wpa secured wireless network (ath) automatically The Picea Addenda that Jim pushed hasn't been incorporated into the gate. Here's the list: PSARC 2008/736 NWAM Picea Addenda 6761570 switching llp leaves unusable IPv6 addresses and routes configured 6766807 nwamd should trigger wireless scan/check on link down 6770812 nwamd can get trapped with link stuck down 6772544 nwamd errantly adds auto-conf to known WiFi list 6773115 nwamd needs to deal with scanning-related instability 6773627 nwamd should be less interested in BSSID 6776888 libnwam needs new API to allow keys to be set for hidden APs We should also have a list of CRs that Phase 1 will close.	10 days; but will mostly be post-dev-complete

* Estimated duration: the intent is for this to be a starting point for discussion, not a
committed number.

Renee	Need auditing around door calls in general	4 days	done	2009-04-19
Michael	Clean up start_dhcp code (throttling events, memory leaks)	1 day	done	2009-03-25
Anurag	Upgrade from Phase 0/0.5 to Phase 1 (without modifying bfu or postinstall)	1 day	done	2009-04-20
Michael	import props into nwamd_ncu_t	1 day	done	2009-04-03
Anurag	"nwamadm -c <class>" support	1 day	done	2009-04-13
Anurag	NCU state transitions cleanup (post-wireless integration)	2 days
Michael	clean up refresh behavior	2 days

* This is the integration date; the corresponding nightly build should have this fix.
