      mac80211: sample survey implementation for mac80211 & hwsim · 1289723e
      Holger Schurig authored
      This adds the survey function to both mac80211 itself and to mac80211_hwsim.
      For the latter driver, we simply invent some noise level.A real driver which
      cannot determine the real channel noise MUST NOT report any noise, especially
      not a magically conjured one :-)

      ath9k: Group Key fix for VAPs · 03ceedea
      Daniel Yingqiang Ma authored
      When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
      the traffic may be lost after a while.
      
      The detailed phenomenon is
      1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
      into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
      successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
      2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
      because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
      broadcast trouble.
      
      It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
      issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
      
      I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
      The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
      associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
      supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
      
      Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
      to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.
