This fixes a typo in the status report. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-07b43: Add TX statistics debugging countersMichael Buesch
This adds a few debugging counters, that are useful for debugging the "card does not transmit" or "connection is unstable" kind of problems. It's also useful for tuning an RC algorithm. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-07b43: Rename the DMA ring pointersMichael Buesch
Rename the DMA ring pointers to have more descriptive and standard names. Also remove the 6th unused TX ring. We can add it back later, if we need it. The unused TX-status rx-ring is also removed, as that's only used by legacy devices not supported by this driver anyway. This is no functional change, except less memory allocation for the removed rings. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-07b43: Add QOS supportMichael Buesch
This adds QOS support to the b43 driver. QOS can be disabled on driver level with a module parameter for debugging purposes. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-06b43: verify sta_notify mac80211 callbackJohannes Berg
This helps verify that nothing bad is going on in mac80211, it is unfortunately not possible to implement this generically in mac80211 easily because there we can't assume that we only have a single vif which b43 currently can assume.

2008-02-29b43(legacy): include full timestamp in beacon framesJohannes Berg
Having the full RX timestamp in beacons is necessary for IBSS merge to work properly so extend the 16-bit timestamp to the full 64 bits for beacon frames (as well as when monitor mode is active.)

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.

2008-02-28Use a separate config option for the b43 pci to ssb bridge.Alexey Zaytsev
The bridge code was unnecessary enabled by the b44 driver, but it prevents the bcm43xx driver from being loaded, as the bridge claims the same pci ids. Now we enable the birdge only if the b43{legacy} drivers are selected.

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.

2008-01-31b43: Drop packets that we are not able to encryptMichael Buesch
We must not transmit packets we're not able to encrypt. This fixes a bug where in a tiny timeframe after machine resume packets can get sent unencrypted and might leak information. This also fixes three small resource leakages I spotted while fixing the security problem. Properly deallocate the DMA slots in any DMA allocation error path.

2008-01-28b43: Fix MAC control and microcode initMichael Buesch
This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading the microcode. This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register. The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init(). All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not overwrite existing bits. This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist. Better safe than sorry. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
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: Add support for new firmwareMichael Buesch
This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon.

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

2008-01-28b43: Add NPHY kconfig optionMichael Buesch
This adds a new Kconfig option for enabling probing of N-PHYs. This option will be removed again once the stuff works. For now it is to help in development. This way real users won't execute the broken N-PHY codepaths, but the developers can easily enable N-PHY stuff. To enable N-PHY probing simply remove the BROKEN dependency and enable the option in the kernel config. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

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.
