2009-09-09wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removalLuis R. Rodriguez
The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore, and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware. It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users out there please let us know!

This removes the dependency on GPIO framework and lets the SPI host driver handle the chip select. The SPI host driver is required to keep the CS active for the entire message unless cs_change says otherwise. This patch collects the two/three single SPI transfers into a message. Also the delay in read path in case use_dummy_writes are not used is moved into the SPI host driver.

2009-04-22rtl8187: Implement TX/RX blink for LEDLarry Finger
The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned back on. Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

2009-04-22libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chipBing Zhao
libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip Use RxPD->pkt_ptr to locate eth803 header in the packet received since SD8688/v10 firmware allows a gap between RxPD and eth803 header. Set SDIO block size to 256 for CMD53. The maximum block size for SD8688 WLAN function is set to 512 in TPLFE_MAX_BLK_SIZE. But using 512 as block size results upto 2K bytes data (4 blocks) being transferred and causes buffer overflow in firmware. Both changes above are backward compatible with earlier firmware versions for SD8385/SD8686.

2008-06-14mac80211_hwsim: 802.11 radio simulator for mac80211Jouni Malinen
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211 on a single device. It can be used to test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g., hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.

2008-02-29ipw2100/ipw2200: note firmware loading caveat in Kconfig help textDaniel Drake
Most wireless drivers load their firmware at interface open time, which generally occurs after the filesystem is available. However, the ipw drivers load their firmware at probe time because firmware is required to read the device MAC address. When built-in, probe happens before the filesystem is available, hence device init will only complete successfully if the user has made special arrangements (including firmware plus a loader in the initramfs). Note all this in the kconfig help text for both drivers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
