If authentication (or association with FT) is requested by
userspace, mac80211 currently doesn't tell cfg80211 that it
disconnected from the AP. That leaves inconsistent state:
cfg80211 thinks it's connected while mac80211 thinks it's
not. Typically this won't last long, as soon as mac80211
reports the new association to cfg80211 the old one goes
away. If, however, the new authentication or association
doesn't succeed, then cfg80211 will forever think the old
one still exists and will refuse attempts to authenticate
or associate with the AP it thinks it's connected to.

Anders reported that this leads to it taking a very long
time to reconnect to a network, or never even succeeding.
I tested this with an AP hacked to never respond to auth
frames, and one that works, and with just those two the
system never recovers because one won't work and cfg80211
thinks it's connected to the other so refuses connections
to it.

To fix this, simply make mac80211 tell cfg80211 when it is
no longer connected to the old AP, while authenticating or
associating to a new one.

    mac80211: fix idle handling sequence

broke the wireless status LED. The reason is that
we now call ieee80211_idle_off() when the channel
context is assigned, and that doesn't recalculate
the LED state. Fix this by making that function a
wrapper around most of idle recalculation while
forcing active.

The rt2800pci driver supports the built-in wireless

  make[5]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The missing functions are provided by the rt2x00pci
module. This module is only selected by the rt2800pci
driver if PCI support is enabled in the kernel, because
some parts of the rt2x00pci code depends on PCI support.

PCI support is not available on the RT3x5x SoCs because
those have no PCI host controller at all.

Move the non PCI specific code from rt2x00pci into a
separate module. This makes it possible to use that
code even if PCI support is disabled. The affected
functions are used by all of the rt2x00 PCI drivers
so select the new module for those drivers.

Alex Romosan reported that since the mac80211 changes in
"mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status" and
the subsequent fixes in "mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout
handling" (commits 1672c0e3 and 89afe614) there's
sometimes an issue connecting to a 5 GHz network with the
iwlwifi DVM driver.

The reason appears to be that since these commits any bad
TX status makes mac80211 immediately try again, causing
all of the authentication attempts to be quickly rejected
by the firmware as it hasn't heard a beacon yet. Before,
it would wait for the timeout regardless of status.

To fix this, invoke the passive-no-RX workaround when not
associated yet as well. This will cause the first frame
to get lost, but then the driver will stop the queues and
the second attempt will only be transmitted after hearing
a beacon, thus delaying it appropriately to not make the
firmware reject it again.

When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.

Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.

This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.

Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.

This patch is a bug fix for an issue wherein power save was not
working for PCIe. This happens because for processing power save
sleep confirm command we pull skb so that skb->data points ahead
of interface header. We use same skb to get other cmda responses
as well. So if we don't push skb after processing cmd response,
it results into reduction in skb->len and finally skb->len reaches
zero. This causes failure in processing sleep command response.
Fix this by pushing skb by INTF_HEADER_LEN at the end of command
response processing.
