This patch follows the 11n spec in separation between Tx and Rx MCS
capabilities. Up until now, when configuring the HT possible set of Tx
MCS only Rx MCS were considered, assuming they are the same as the Tx MCS.
This patch fixed this by looking at low level driver Tx capabilities.

[PATCH, take 2] libertas: reduce command retry time
In the normal case, an unsuccessful command would be retried for 10*5 seconds,
or 10*10 seconds in the worst case. This patch reduces this to 3*3 seconds,
or 3*10 seconds in the worst case.
I also reduced the time it takes to start a new command downloaded.

This patch is based on a patch from Shailendra Govardhan and Brian Cavagnolo.
It extends the MESH_CONFIG command to configure non-volatile parameters on
libertas devices that support them (e.g. OLPC Active Antenna).
This patch only implements the driver/firmware interface.
See http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6823 for minimal testing results and known
issues.

We weren't properly handling multicast on the mesh interface. Fix that,
which involves setting up the hardware to use the union of dev->mc_list
for both eth%d and msh%d devices.
This means we can't do it directly from ->set_multicast_list() because
we'd need to lock the other device to read its list, and we can't do
that because it might deadlock. So punt the actual work to keventd.
Also, invoke the same when taking an interface down; for some reason the
core calls ->set_multicast_list while IFF_UP is still set in dev->flags
when we're taking it down, so its addresses don't get removed then.
We also convert MAC_MULTICAST_ADR to a direct command while we're at it,
removing one more entry from the big switch statement in the deprecated
lbs_prepare_and_send_command() function.

Using the deprecated lbs_prepare_and_send_command() function for a
command which it doesn't understand is an error; complain loudly about
it even when we're not debugging.
The mesh stats bug, where we converted MESH_ACCESS to a direct command
but accidentally missed one user which was still trying to do it through
lbs_prepare_and_send_command(), would have been caught a lot quicker if
we'd done this sooner. Such bugs aren't entirely unlikely in future too,
as we convert more code to stop using this function.

the rxdesc structure is properly memsetted before passed to
the driver. This means we don't have to reinitialize the flags
and dev_flags fields in the drivers again.
This will prevent problems when the rxdone handler is adding
flags in a earlier status and will make the code look nicer
when we are adding more read attributes in the rxdone handler
in the driver.

Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.
This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

Due to usage of memmove() in rt2x00usb the descriptor can become
corrupted because it is being overwritten by the data part.
Overall having the descriptor in front of the frame is a bad idea,
we can however use the skb->cb array for this task, since that
contains more then enough room to hold the entire descriptor and
preserve the information long enough.
After this we can also cleanup the alignment code a bit to make it
work a bit more flexible to allow for all kinds of odd header lengths.

feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.
The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.
Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control

The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
status of the tx action.
This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
successfull or failure which were reported as failure.
Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it
as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame().
Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short
to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that
this was the only location where the data_len and
desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short.
This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding
the TX control and TX status informtation into the
skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will
have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely.

The 4-bit reversal flip_4bit is replaced with the bitrev helper
bitrev8 and a 4-bit shift. The B43_WARN is moved to the location
where a register is read from for checking there. The other caller
explicitly passes an array index which is guaranteed to be within range

In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are
initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop.
If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the
variables may see changes from previous packets.
For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets
are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by
mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent
packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211
will not try to decrypt it.
We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix
the other two.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager
When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.
I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.
The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.
