This mutex is wrong, we use cfg80211_drv_mutex (which should possibly be renamed to just cfg80211_mutex) everywhere except in one place, fix that and get rid of the extra mutex. Also get rid of a spurious regulatory_requests list definition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The two new commands are NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS. There is a new attribute enum, NL80211_ATTR_MESH_PARAMS, which enumerates the various mesh configuration parameters. Moved struct mesh_config from mac80211/ieee80211_i.h to net/cfg80211.h. nl80211_get_mesh_params and nl80211_set_mesh_params unpack the netlink messages and ask the driver to get or set the configuration. This is done via two new function stubs, get_mesh_params and set_mesh_params, in struct cfg80211_ops.

I noticed that when for some reason [1] the probe or auth times out, wpa_supplicant doesn't realise this and only tries the next AP when it runs into its own timeout, which is ten seconds, and that's quite long. Fix this by making mac80211 notify userspace that it didn't associate. [1] my wrt350n in mixed B/G/HT mode often runs into this, maybe it's because one of the antennas is broken off and for whatever reason it decides to use that antenna to transmit the response frames (auth, probe); I do see beacons fine so it's not totally broken. Works fine in pure-G mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

"Clearing" the rate control algorithm is pointless, none of the algorithms actually uses this operation and it's not even invoked properly for all channel switching.

NLA_NESTED attributes cannot be empty, but we want to be able to specify "no flags" (empty attribute) vs. "no change" (no attribute). Therefore, remove the NLA_NESTED policy so it can work as an empty attribute. I guess I should have used a u32 for these flags instead, but we're stuck with it now.

We have to be careful if multiple "control frames" are passed in a very short intervals to the device's firmware. As p54_assign_address always put them into same memory location. To guarantee that this won't happen anymore, we have to treat control frames like normal data frames in the devices own memory management.

This patch: 1. fixes command DMA unmapping, this might be visible only on platforms where DMA unmapping is no noop such as PPC64 (not tested) 2. attaches correctly high memory part of the host command buffer 3. changes structure of TFD TB instead of describing transmit buffer (TB) tuple it describes single TB and makes code more readable on price of one unaligned access 4. eliminates using of IWL_GET/SET_BITs for TFD handling 5. renames TFD structures to mach the HW spec 6. reduces iwl_tx_info size by reserving first TB to the host command This patch should not have any visible effect on x86 32 This patch is rework of iwlwifi: fix DMA code and bugs from Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This makes CONFIG_IEEE80211 invisible. The drivers that require it (ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap) select it, and everybody else really shouldn't even think about using it. Also, since there really is no point in compiling anything without crypto support these days, remove the crypto options and just enable them, leaving only the debugging option which only shows up when a driver is select that requires it. This makes it hard to enable, but most people wouldn't want to anyway.

So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug", and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct reference of netdev->priv first. In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv. The reason is: Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't. Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv should always point to that memory. So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv. After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory. Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: John W.

This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips. Some things to note about changes done: * Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be looked at. * On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1 of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register, that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180 datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same calculation as done on rt2x00. Signed-off-by: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: John W.

Add support for AP mode.
