2008-11-21b43: remove rate index warningJohannes Berg
I frequently run into this warning, and added some debugging to see why, and got this: b43 bad rx: 00000000: 2f d2 e2 63 cf a7 14 04 28 18 c8 5f 88 4a a2 00 bogus junk | plcp | fctl| dur b43 bad rx: 00000010: 00 11 24 91 07 4d 00 06 25 ff 8f 78 00 06 25 ff my MAC address | BSSID | AP MAC b43 bad rx: 00000020: 8f 76 20 74 00 00 42 07 00 20 00 00 00 00 aa aa | seq | QoS | CCMP IV | data ... As you can see, there are 6 bogus bytes (sometimes only five) and then the frame. I don't know why, and I don't see how to recover, so let's just drop these frames.

2008-11-10b43: implement short slot and basic rate handlingJohannes Berg
This implements proper short slot handling and adds code to program the hardware for the correct response rates derived from the basic rate set for the current BSS. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-11-10b43/legacy: remove SSID codeJohannes Berg
The SSID programmed into the device is used by the ucode only to reply to probe requests, a functionality we disable anyway because it doesn't fit with the mac80211/hostapd programming model. Therefore, it isn't useful to program the SSID into device. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-10-31mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

2008-10-31mac80211: introduce hw config change flagsJohannes Berg
This makes mac80211 notify the driver which configuration actually changed, e.g. channel etc. No driver changes, this is just plumbing, driver authors are expected to act on this if they want to. Also remove the HW CONFIG debug printk, it's incorrect, often we configure something else. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-10-27net: convert print_mac to %pMJohannes Berg
This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for now, no harm done. I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2008-08-31pcmcia: remove unused argument to pcmcia_parse_tuple()Dominik Brodowski
Since we're just parsing the tuple being passed to this function, we don't need any device-specific information. Also, remove the call to pcmcia_validate_cis() from pcmciamtd.c, since it is already called by the PCMCIA core. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
2008-08-29b43: Rewrite TX power adjustmentMichael Buesch
This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better with changed enviromnent. If there's low TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values every 60 seconds. If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less. It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-29b43: Implement dynamic PHY APIMichael Buesch
This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API. This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types to avoid the "switch"-hell. This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed data structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-07-29mac80211: partially fix skb->cb useJohannes Berg
This patch fixes mac80211 to not use the skb->cb over the queue step from virtual interfaces to the master. The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch. There are two other places (software requeue and powersaving stations) where requeue can happen, but that is not currently used by any drivers/not possible to use respectively.

2008-07-15wireless: fix warnings from QoS patchJohannes Berg

2008-07-14mac80211: fix TX sequence numbersJohannes Berg
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed through mac80211's TX path. This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

2008-07-14mac80211: revamp beacon configurationJohannes Berg
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.
