2008-02-15b43: Add driver load messagesMichael Buesch
This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded. This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot. Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git). This helps users to select the right firmware for their device. This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string. While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which people _should_ use.

2008-02-05b43: avoid unregistering device objects during suspendRafael J. Wysocki
Modify the b43 driver to avoid deadlocking suspend and resume, which happens as a result of attempting to unregister device objects locked by the PM core during suspend/resume cycles. Also, make it use a suspend-safe method of unregistering device object in the resume error path. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-01-28b43: Fix firmware cachingMichael Buesch
We must also store the ID string (filename) for the cached firmware blobs and verify that we really have the right firmware cached before using it. If we don't have the right fw cached, we must free it and request the correct blobs. This fixes bandswitch on A/B/G multi-PHY devices.

2008-01-28b43: Put multicast frames on the mcast queueMichael Buesch
This queues frames flagged as "send after DTIM" by mac80211 on the special multicast queue. The firmware will take care to send the packet after the DTIM. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-01-28mac80211: dont use interface indices in driversJohannes Berg
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28b43: Remove the PHY spinlockMichael Buesch
This fixes a sparse warning about weird locking. The spinlock is not needed, so simply remove it. This also adds some sanity checks to the PHY and radio locking to protect against recursive locking.

2008-01-28b43: Remove PIO supportMichael Buesch
Remove b43 PIO support. DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO. Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore. b43 PIO support is dead and unused code. After applying this patch please do git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c to remove the main PIO support code.

2008-01-28b43: Fix ofdmtab write regressionMichael Buesch
commit f04b3787bbce4567e28069a9ec97dcd804626ac7 introduced a regression for the ofdmtable writing. It incorrectly removed the writing of the high 16bits for a 32bit table write and initialized the direction identifier too late. This patch does also some cleanups to make the code much more readable and adds a few comments, so non rocket scientists are also able to understand what this address caching is all about.

2008-01-08b43: Fix rxheader channel parsingMichael Buesch
This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field. The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211. The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
