Use direct function calls for ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc() and ath5k_hw_setup_mrr_tx_desc() instead of a function pointer which always pointed to the same function in the case of ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc() and which is easily unified in the case of ath5k_hw_setup_mrr_tx_desc(). Also simplify the initialization function for the remaining function pointers. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Create a new function ath5k_receive_frame_ok() which checks for errors, updates error statistics and tells us if we want to further "receive" this frame or not. This way we can avoid a goto and have a cleaner separation between buffer handling and other things. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The original reason for defaulting to disabled was documented in 2005 and noted, "The LED code has been reported to hang some systems when running ifconfig and is therefore disabled by default."

Legacy rt2870 driver handles WCID differently then we expected, the BSSID and Cipher value are 3 bit values, while the 4th bit should be set elsewhere in an extended field. After this, rt2800usb reports frames have been decrypted successfully, indicating that the Hardware decryption now is working correctly.

Explicitly enable the usage of fallback rates for the transmission of frames with rt61pci and rt73usb hardware. Note that for txdone reporting, only rt61pci is capable of reporting the fallback rates, for USB it is not possible to determine the number of retries. However the device will use the fallback rates, so it might still help in the performance.

In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really used ones. The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one. In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211. Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.

Set up max_rates and max_rate_tries with suitable values even if we do not support the whole functionality. As rt2800 has a global fallback table we cannot specify more then one tx rate per frame but since the hw will try several different rates (based on the fallback table) we should still initialize max_rates to the maximum number of rates we are going to try. Otherwise mac80211 will truncate our reported tx rates and the rc algortihm will end up with incorrect data choosing unsuitable rates for tx. This improves throughput on rt2800 devices considerable.

Currently rt2800pci will read TX_STA_FIFO until the previously read value matches the current value. However, it is obvious that TX_STA_FIFO only contains values that can easily be the same for multiple consecutive frames (especially when communicating with only one other STA). Hence, we often ended up with reading only the first entry and ignoring the rest. One result was that when the TX_STA_FIFO contained multiple entires, only the first one was read and properly handled while the others remained in the tx queue. Thus, drop this check but introduce a maximum number of reads. All legacy drivers use the size of the tx ring as limit but state that the TX_STA_FIFO has only 16 entries. So, let's just stick with the tx ring size for now.

TXDONE_FALLBACK doesn't express if the frame was sent successful or not. It only tells us that the hw used fallback rates for retries. Hence, don't use TXDONE_FALLBACK as success indicator. Before this patch we reported success to the rate control algorithm which was wrong in a number of cases and might have lead to improper tx rate selections.

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, we must use a separate counter for tracking received CCMP packet number for the management frames. The previously used NUM_RX_DATA_QUEUESth queue was shared with data frames when QoS was not used and that can cause problems in detecting replays incorrectly for robust management frames. Add a new counter just for robust management frames to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, Deauthentication frame needs to be protected when the pairwise key is configured. mac80211 was removing the station entry (and its keys) before actually sending out the Deauthentication frame. Fix this by reordering the code to send the frame before the station entry gets removed. This matches an earlier change that handled the Disassociation frame processing, but missed Deauthentication frames. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.) This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps timeout of 100ms. Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct. Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

Fix the problem by rewriting the way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver when needed. The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need to be changed in the future.
