Mesh beacons no longer use all-zeroes BSSID. Beacon frames for MBSS, infrastructure BSS, or IBSS are differentiated by the Capability Information field in the Beacon frame. A mesh STA sets the ESS and IBSS subfields to 0 in transmitted Beacon or Probe Response management frames. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Previous versions of 11s draft used the all zeroes address. Current draft uses the same address as address 2. Also, use the ANA-approved action category code for peer establishment frames.

Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace. Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace and hand them over to the kernel. From that point the mesh stack would take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management). These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange in userspace. The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

Some of the BCM43xx chips contain cores that are attached to the SSB, but are inactive as they do not connect to the external environment. These must not be registered. Several of these types are handled in driver ssb; however, the specific case of an inactive 802.11 cores is now treated in b43 and b43legacy. Although the current setup works, this minor change will place all such workarounds in ssb, and simplify the code in drivers b43 and b43legacy.

The structure definition is struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer { u8 hdr[4]; struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm ps_cfm_sleep; } __packed; For sleep_confirm command we already reserve 4 bytes (using skb_reserve()) for an interface header. It will be filled later by interface specific code. We don't need "hdr[4]" element in above structure. So we can use "struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm" directly instead of "struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer".

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

This seems to be a leftover from the old days, when we didn't support any frames that didn't contain the full ieee802.11 header. This is not the case anymore. It does not cause problems now, because they are only dropped during scan. But when scheduled scans get merged, this would become a problem because we would drop all small frames while scheduled scan is running. To fix this, return RX_CONTINUE instead of RX_DROP_MONITOR.

In driver rtlwifi, efuse_read() places two relatively large arrays on the stack - a 1D u8 array of size 128, and a 2D array of u16 with 128 * 4 elements. With driver rtl8192de, the sizes will be 256 and 256 * 4 respectively. As that will make the 2D array be 2048 bytes, I have changed the code to use kmalloc to allocate the space.

The function iwl_is_any_associated() was intended to check both contexts, but due to an oversight it only checks the BSS context. This leads to a problem with scanning since the passive dwell time isn't restricted appropriately and a scan that includes passive channels will never finish if only the PAN context is associated since the default dwell time of 120ms won't fit into the normal 100 TU DTIM interval. Fix the function by using for_each_context() and also reorganise the other functions a bit to take advantage of each other making the code easier to read.

The assumsion is that while processing ath9k tasklet, interrupts were already disabled and it will be enabled at the completion of ath9k tasklet. But whenever TSFOOR is raised, the driver configures the beacon timers after having received a beacon frame from the AP which inturn enables the interrupts.

This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool. The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi device and the user space application so that the interaction between the user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is in a way of generic netlink messaging. The detail specific functions are: 1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is returned to the user space application if there's any. 2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types, whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR, iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to the user space application. Implementation guidelines: 1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed. Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c. 2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver (ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions. For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused. 3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the existing iwlwifi driver files. The new files added are : drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c - to handle the user space test mode application command and reply the respective command status to the user space application. - to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space. drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h - the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in the generic netlink messages Signed-off-by: Cindy H.
