Merge branch 'wireless-next-2.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6

Split the connectivity check and recovery routine into separated
functions based on the types
   1. iwl_good_ack_health() - check for ack count
   2. iwl_good_plcp_health() - check for plcp error

Based on the type of errors being detected, different recovery methods
will be used to bring the system back to normal operational state.

Because different NIC has different HW and uCode, the behavior is also
different; these functions thus now form part of the ops infrastructure,
so we can have more control on how to monitor and recover from error condition
case per device.

Monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the
expected_ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated
ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the
actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba
timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.
Reloading the uCode and bring the system back to normal operational
state.

Monitors the internal TX queues periodically.  When a queue is stuck
for some unknown conditions causing the throughput to drop and the
transfer is stop, the driver will force firmware reload and bring the
system back to normal operational state.

The iwlwifi devices behave differently in this regard so this feature is
made part of the ops infrastructure so we can have more control on how to
monitor and recover from tx queue stall case per device.

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.

This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.

We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.

We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.

Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.

There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

when an IBSS merge happened, the supported rates for the newly added station
were left empty, causing the rate control module to be initialized with only
the basic rates.

the section of the ibss code which deals with updating supported rates for
an already existing station failed to inform the rate control module about the
new rates. as both minstrel and pid don't have an update function i just use
the init function.

After testing, we found that TX_STA_FIFO_MCS is the last MCS value
tried. If the transmission failed, 8 frames have been transmitted. If the
transmission succeed, we can easily compute the number of retry.  This patch fix
the way status is reported to mac80211 rate control. It has 2 bugs :

1. mcs can contain the short preamble flag and it will lead to wrong
computations.

2. minstrel nearly always say that 54 Mbits is the best rate, even if we are
very far from the AP

The rate control algorithm, default is Minstrel for ath5k, determines
the number of retries to use for each rate.  However, there exists in
ath5k_hw_setup_4word_tx_desc (which is called for AR5212 like devices)
a set number of retries defined by AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES.  The set
number of tries is added to the tx_tries0 variable setup by the rate
control algorithm.  This changes the number of retries the rate
control algorithm considers necessary.  By removing the
AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES from the retry calculation the rate control
algorithm is given control over the number of retries.

Currently the rate control tx status update gets called for every
subframe of an A-MPDU, and ath9k marks the frame with the relevant
status update with an internal flag. This not suitable for rate control
algorithms using the standard mac80211 rate control API, so fix this by
using IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU for marking the correct frames that
should be processed.
