2008-02-07leds: Standardise LED naming schemeRichard Purdie
As discussed on LKML some notion of 'function' is needed in LED naming. This patch adds this to the documentation and standardises existing LED drivers. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

2008-02-05b43: Fix DMA for 30/32-bit DMA enginesMichael Buesch
This checks if the DMA address is bigger than what the controller can manage. It will reallocate the buffers in the GFP_DMA zone in that case. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-02-05b43legacy: fix DMA slot resource leakageStefano Brivio
This fixes four resource leakages. In any error path we must deallocate the DMA frame slots we previously allocated by request_slot(). This is done by storing the ring pointers before doing any ring allocation and restoring the old pointers in case of an error. This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

2008-02-05b43legacy: drop packets we are not able to encryptStefano Brivio
We must drop any packets we are not able to encrypt. We must not send them unencrypted or with an all-zero-key (which basically is the same as unencrypted, from a security point of view). This might only trigger shortly after resume before mac80211 reassociated and reconfigured the keys. It is safe to drop these packets, as the association they belong to is not guaranteed anymore anyway. This is a security fix in the sense that it prevents information leakage.

2008-02-05b43legacy: fix suspend/resumeStefano Brivio
This patch makes suspend/resume work with the b43legacy driver. We must not overwrite the MAC addresses in the init function, as this would also overwrite the MAC on resume. With an all-zero MAC the device firmware is not able to ACK any received packets anymore. Fix this by moving the initializion stuff that must be done on init but not on resume to the start function. Also zero out filter_flags to make sure we don't have some flags from a previous instance for a tiny timeframe until mac80211 reconfigures them.

2008-02-01iwlwifi: fix merge sequence: exit on error before state changeReinette Chatre
The intention behind the original patch: "iwlwifi: fix possible read attempt on ucode that is not available" was to exit before any state is changed. Due to its submission directly to 2.6.24 it was not clear how this relates to the latest iwlwifi work. This patch does exactly the same as the previous patch, just earlier to prevent any state from being changed if there is an error.

The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is received.

On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set, but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and the frame will not be dropped. Thus, it will be sent through which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

2008-01-31iwlwifi: initialize geo/channel information during probeReinette Chatre
The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface is brought up. Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call their cleanup routines. Fixes a few bugs: - if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring interface to be brought up. This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552 - Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed. - Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

2008-01-31b43legacy: fix MAC control and microcode initStefano Brivio
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. While at it, fix naming of MACCTL values. This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

2008-01-28ath5k: use SWBA to detect IBSS HW mergesBruno Randolf
use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every received beacon with the same BSSID. this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about 1 minute). this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.h: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28ath5k: better beacon timer calculationBruno Randolf
update ath5k_beacon_update_timers() for better beacon timer calculation in a variety of situations. most important is the possibility to call it with the timestamp of a received beacon, when we detected that a HW merge has happened and we need to reconfigure the beacon timers based on that. we call this from the mac80211 callback reset_tsf now instead of beacon_update, and there will be more use of it in the next patch. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28ath5k: beacon interval is in TUBruno Randolf
the beacon interval is passed by mac80211 in TU already, so we can directly use it without conversion. also update the comments about TU (1 TU is defined by 802.11 as 1024usec). drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/ath5k.h: Changes-licensed-under: ISC drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.h: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28ath5k: use 3 instead of 0x00000003Bruno Randolf
reviewed beacon timer initialization with register traces from madwifi: what we are doing is correct :). one minor fix: use 3 instead of 0x00000003 - it's more readable. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/hw.c: Changes-licensed-under: ISC Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

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.
