Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and
repointed it to a still live, but also stale website.  As far as I
know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org.

Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s
mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper.
Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard,
so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a
little more helpful and accurate.

This device takes over an existing network device and produces a
new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned
responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If
necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing
network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to
not disrupt the existing network interface.

To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection:

ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi

You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection
manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only
the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with
vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between
distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for
accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses.

This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project,
which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network
interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet.
However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather
connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine
guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than
ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements.

We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless
network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is
desired by some userspace process but is not available.

This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by
being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight
pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet
data into mac80211 frames.

The mac80211_hwsim driver does not specify supported cipher types, which
in turn enables all ciphers to be supported in software. (see
net/mac80211/main.c:ieee80211_init_cipher_suites). Allowing ciphers
to be configurable is valuable for simulating older drivers that may
not support all ciphers.

This patch adds a new attribute:

 - HWSIM_ATTR_CIPHER_SUPPORT
	A u32 array/list of supported cipher types

This only allows enabling/disabling cipher types listed in the (new)
"hwsim_ciphers" array in mac80211_hwsim.c. Any unknown cipher type
will result in -EINVAL.

The mac80211_hwsim driver hard codes its supported interface types. For

types in order to simulate actual drivers than support a limited set of
iftypes. A new attribute was added to allow this:

- HWSIM_ATTR_IFTYPE_SUPPORT

This will only enable/disable iftypes that mac80211_hwsim already
supports.

to be built dynamically to only include limit rules for iftypes that
the user requested to enable.

There's nothing much for mac80211 to do, so only pass through

Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure
certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement
FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that
it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary
things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig.

The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and
channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a
set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform.

Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final
complete message.

Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running
measurement.

v3:
 - add a bit to report "final" for partial results
 - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results
   to the requester (big code reduction ...)
 - also send complete message unicast, and as a result
   remove the multicast group
 - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer
   from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer
 - document timeout == 0 if no timeout
 - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0,
   must not include attribute for no timeout
 - make MAC address randomization optional
 - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather
   rather than the old default of 15==don't care)

v4:
 - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation

v5:
 - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes
 - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient
 - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability
 - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst"

v6:
 - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
   and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any
   pending measurements

 - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior)

If the CREATE ADDR sent by qeth_l3_iqd_read_initial_mac() fails, its
callback sets a random MAC address on the net_device. The error then
propagates back, and qeth_l3_setup_netdev() bails out without
registering the net_device.

Any subsequent call to qeth_l3_setup_netdev() will then attempt a fresh
CREATE ADDR which either 1) also fails, or 2) sets a proper MAC address
on the net_device. Consequently, the net_device will never be registered
with a random MAC and we can drop the fallback code.
