2008-10-14ath9k/mac80211: disallow fragmentation in ath9k, report to userspaceJohannes Berg
As I've reported, ath9k currently fails utterly when fragmentation is enabled. This makes ath9k "support" hardware fragmentation by not supporting fragmentation at all to avoid the double-free issue. The patch also changes mac80211 to report errors from the driver operation to userspace. That hack in ath9k should be removed once the rate control algorithm it has is fixed, and we can at that time consider removing the hw fragmentation support entirely since it's not used by any driver.

2008-10-06ath9k: enable ANI to help with noisy environmentsLuis R. Rodriguez
This enables Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) on ath9k. ANI is as algorithm designed to minimize the detrimental effects of time-varying interferences. This should help with throughput in noisy environments. To use ANI we re-enable the MIB interrupt. Since ANI works on a timer and updates the noise floor we take advantage of this and also report a non-static noise floor now to mac80211.

2008-09-22ath9k: connectivity is lost after Group rekeying is doneSenthil Balasubramanian
Connectivtiy is lost after Group rekeying is done. The keytype maintained by ath9k is reset when group key is updated. Though sc_keytype can be reset only for broadcast key the proper fix would be to use mac80211 provided key type from txinfo during xmit and get rid of sc_keytype from ath9k ath_softc.

2008-09-11ath9k: Assign seq# when mac80211 requests thisJouni Malinen
Use TX control flag IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ as a request to update the seq# for the frames. This will likely require some further cleanup to get seq# correctly for Beacons vs. other frames and also potentially for multiple BSSes. Anyway, this is better than ending up sending out most frames with seq# 0. (This is a backport of patch w/ same title already in net-next-2.6. It is verified to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11394 and it should be acceptable for -rc due to the driver being new in 2.6.27.)

2008-09-05cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modesLuis R. Rodriguez
It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even if adding such an interface might fail later because of concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that. For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode when they add it.

2008-09-02ath9k: Incorrect key used when group and pairwise ciphers are different.Senthil Balasubramanian
Updating sc_keytype multiple times when groupwise and pairwise ciphers are different results in incorrect pairwise key type assumed for TX control and normal ping fails. This works fine for cases where both groupwise and pairwise ciphers are same. Also use mac80211 provided enums for key length calculation.

2008-08-29ath9k: Updated Beacon generation to use mac80211-styleJouni Malinen
This change moves ath9k to use mac80211-generated Beacon frames instead of trying to allocate a single Beacon frame and then update it. In addition, the remaining ath_skb_{map,unmap}_single() wrapper calls are replaced with direct pci_{map,unmap}_single() calls in beacon.c. Power save buffering for multicast/broadcast frames is not yet converted to use mac80211-style (frames to be buffered inside mac80211, not in driver).
