2008-01-28b43legacy: reinit on too many PHY TX errorsStefano Brivio
Restart the hardware on too many PHY TX errors. A thousand PHY TX errors per 15 seconds means we won't be able to recover for sure. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-01-28b43legacy: include full 64-bit timestamp in monitor modeJohannes Berg
When monitor mode is enabled, this will make b43legacy read out the full 64-bit MAC time from the chip for each received packet. This patch has been ported from b43.

2008-01-28b43legacy: rewrite and fix rfkill initializationStefano Brivio
The rfkill subsystem doesn't like code like that rfkill_allocate(); rfkill_register(); rfkill_unregister(); rfkill_register(); /* <- This will crash */ This sequence happens with modprobe b43 ifconfig wlanX up ifconfig wlanX down ifconfig wlanX up Fix this by always re-allocating the rfkill stuff before register.

2007-11-10b43legacy: fix shared IRQ race conditionStefano Brivio
Fix an IRQ race condition in b43legacy. If we call b43legacy_wireless_core_stop(), it will set the status of the device to INITIALIZED and the IRQ handler won't care any longer about IRQs, thus the kernel will disable the IRQ if it's shared (unless we boot it with the 'irqpoll' option). So we must disable IRQs before changing the device status. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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.

2007-10-10[B43LEGACY]: Change the hardware radio enable logic and cleanup codeLarry Finger
This change cleans up the radio-related messages in several ways. (1) The state of the rfkill switch is assumed to be on, rather than tested. Now, any user without such a switch will not see any messages. For devices with such a switch, a message will be logged only if the initial state is off, or if the switch is toggled. (2) The routine for testing the switch state is no longer inline. (3) The LED handling routine is simplified. (4) The "Radio turned off" message that has confused some users has been changed to "Radio initialized". This patch is patterned after a similar change to b43 by Michael Buesch.

2007-10-10[B43LEGACY]: Support for turning the radio off from software.Larry Finger
This adds support for turning the radio off in software. That's useful in environments, where you don't want the RF to radiate any signals, but don't want to bring the interface down.
