2008-10-31mac80211: insert AP sta entry after filling itJohannes Berg
We never clearly defined the semantics of the sta_notify callback and it was originally posted for iwlwifi which still doesn't use it at all. With the recent HT rework ath9k started relying on it, but I made a mistake there in that I made ath9k assume the HT information has already been filled in at sta_notify time. This isn't a hard thing to do, so do it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-10-31Add nl80211 commands to get and set o11s mesh networking parameterscolin@cozybit.com
The two new commands are NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS. There is a new attribute enum, NL80211_ATTR_MESH_PARAMS, which enumerates the various mesh configuration parameters. Moved struct mesh_config from mac80211/ieee80211_i.h to net/cfg80211.h. nl80211_get_mesh_params and nl80211_set_mesh_params unpack the netlink messages and ask the driver to get or set the configuration. This is done via two new function stubs, get_mesh_params and set_mesh_params, in struct cfg80211_ops.

2008-10-31mac80211: inform userspace of probe/auth/assoc timeoutJohannes Berg
I noticed that when for some reason [1] the probe or auth times out, wpa_supplicant doesn't realise this and only tries the next AP when it runs into its own timeout, which is ten seconds, and that's quite long. Fix this by making mac80211 notify userspace that it didn't associate. [1] my wrt350n in mixed B/G/HT mode often runs into this, maybe it's because one of the antennas is broken off and for whatever reason it decides to use that antenna to transmit the response frames (auth, probe); I do see beacons fine so it's not totally broken. Works fine in pure-G mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This makes CONFIG_IEEE80211 invisible. The drivers that require it (ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap) select it, and everybody else really shouldn't even think about using it. Also, since there really is no point in compiling anything without crypto support these days, remove the crypto options and just enable them, leaving only the debugging option which only shows up when a driver is select that requires it.

2008-10-31airo: Kill directly reference of netdev->privWang Chen
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug", and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct reference of netdev->priv first. In this driver, I don't simply use netdev_priv() to replace netdev->priv. The reason is: Pointer netdev->priv was changed in this driver, but it shouldn't. Because the memory was allocated when alloc_netdev() and netdev->priv should always point to that memory. So I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv. After replacing, both ai and ai->wifidev->ml_priv point to the same memory. Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: John W.

2008-10-31rtl8187: add short slot handling for 8187BHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips. Some things to note about changes done: * Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be looked at. * On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1 of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register, that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180 datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same calculation as done on rt2x00. Signed-off-by: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-10-31mac80211: rewrite HT handlingJohannes Berg

Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht(). Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs: * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any more since the refactoring * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities, but I see no cleaner solution for now.
