2009-03-27mac80211: add beacon filtering supportKalle Valo
Add IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTERING flag so that driver inform that it supports beacon filtering. Drivers need to call the new function ieee80211_beacon_loss() to notify about beacon loss. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-01-29mac80211: extend/document powersave APIJohannes Berg
This modifies hardware flags for powersave to support three different flags: * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS - indicates general PS support * IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK - indicates nullfunc sending in software * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS - indicates dynamic PS on the device It also adds documentation for all this which explains how to set the various flags. Additionally, it fixes a few things: * a spot where && was used to test flags * enable CONF_PS only when associated again Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-01-29mac80211: clarify alignment docs, fix up alignmentJohannes Berg
Not all drivers are capable of passing properly aligned frames, in particular with mesh networking no hardware will support completely aligning it correctly. This patch adds code to align the data payload to a 4-byte boundary in memory for those platforms that require this, or when CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is set.

2008-09-15mac80211: clean up kdocJohannes Berg
A few errors sneaked in over time, some functions no longer exist, for some alternatives exist. This changes the docbook template to include the right things. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-06mac80211: add documentation bookJohannes Berg
Quite a while ago I started this book. The required kernel-doc patches have since gone into the tree so it is now possible to build the book in mainline. The actual documentation is still rather incomplete and not all things are linked into the book, but this enables us to edit the documentation collaboratively, hopefully driver authors can add documentation based on their experience with mac80211.
