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.

This silences a few sparse warnings. There are two more where I can't follow the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> 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.

2008-01-28Add rtl8180 wireless driverMichael Wu
This patch adds a mac80211 based wireless driver for the rtl8180 and rtl8185 PCI wireless cards. Also included are some rtl8187 changes required due to the relationship between that driver and this one. Michael Wu is primarily responsible for the initial driver and rtl8185 support. Andreas Merello provided the additional rtl8180 support. Thanks to Jukka Ruohonen for the donating a rtl8185 card! It was very helpful for the rtl8225z2 code. The Signed-off-by information below is collected from the individual patches submitted to wireless-2.6 before merging this driver upstream.

2008-01-28wireless: make drivers include the TSF RX flag where appropriateJohannes Berg
These drivers pass full mactime information to the stack, make them indicate this via the new RX_FLAG_TSFT to get mac80211 to show this information in monitor mode.

2007-10-18[PATCH] rtl8187: Fix more frag bit checking, rts duration calcMichael Wu
The wrong pointer is passed to ieee80211_get_morefrag. Fix this. While we're at it, reorder things so they look better and the rts duration calculation is done with the right length. Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for finding the ieee80211_get_morefrag issue. Signed-off-by: Michael Wu <flamingice@sourmilk.net> 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[MAC80211]: improved short preamble handlingDaniel Drake
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global. For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been restricted to AP-only subifs. ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed. Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions: - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration - ieee80211_rts_duration - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration - ieee80211_rts_get - ieee80211_ctstoself_get Affected drivers were updated accordingly.
