IWL_RATE_COUNT is 13 and IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY is 12.
IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY is the right one here because iwl3945_rates
doesn't support 60M and also that's how "rates" is defined in
iwlcore_init_geos() from drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c.
rates = kzalloc((sizeof(struct ieee80211_rate) * IWL_RATE_COUNT_LEGACY),
GFP_KERNEL);

An int urb is constructed but we fill it in with a bulk pipe type.
Commit f661c6f8c67bd55e93348f160d590ff9edf08904 implemented a pipe type
check when CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is enabled. The check failed for all the ar9170
usb transfers and the driver could not configure the wifi dongle.
This went unnoticed until now because most people don't have
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled.

Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack
those interrupts that are enabled by the driver through inta_mask.
If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them,
defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number
of interrupts per second and high CPU utilization.
This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts
in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement
in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking
throughput. This is a workaround for hardware issue.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
commit 6c8afef551fef87a3bf24f8a74c69a7f2f72fc82
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date: Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530
ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
index = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

we read the IQ correction values (i_cal and q_cal) for G mode from a wrong
location (the same shifts as for A mode is applied which is incorrect). use
correct locations, matching the docs and HAL sources.
also we should write IQ correction only when we have that information in the
EEPROM, starting from version 4. also write it in the same way as we do in the
periodic recalibration (enable last), just to be sure.

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors
on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this
patch they are between 0% and 3%.
1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration
(f1cf2dbd0f798b71b1590e7aca6647f2caef1649)" resulted in no mask beeing used
when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the
calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the
masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should
always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register.
2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we
convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low
numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later
on.
3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor
optimizations from there.
4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can
contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE
bit last, like the HAL does.

when using a fixed antenna we should use the antenna number in all tx
descriptors, otherwise the hardware will sometimes send the frame out on the
other antenna. it seems like the hardware does not always respect the default
antenna and diversity settings (esp. AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA).
also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly
on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames
might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some
times, causing packet loss.
this is both verified with the antenna statistics output of the previous patch
and a spectrum analyzer.

This reverts commit 21b2d8bd2f0d4e0f21ade147fd193c8b9c1fd2b9.
As explained by Johannes:
When we
build a probe request frame in the buffer with the SSID, we could
arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer
without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

Recent patch "iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" exposed a memory
corruption problem. When initializing the clip groups the code was
mistakenly using the iwlagn rate count, not the 3945 rate count. This
resulted in more memory being written than was allocated.
"iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" moved the location where the
clip groups are stored and the impact is now severe in that the number of
configured TX queues is modified. Previously the
"temperature" field was overwritten, which did not seem to affect the
operation.
Fix this one instance where wrong rate count was used. I also noticed one
more location where the iwlagn rate count was used to index an iwl3945
array, fix this. I also modified one location that modified the iwlagn rate
count to obtain the iwl3945 rate count ... just use the iwl3945 rate count
directly.

Starting with commit a3bc1f11e9b867a4f49505 ("gianfar: Revive SKB
recycling") gianfar driver sooner or later stops transmitting any
packets on SMP machines.
start_xmit() prepares new skb for transmitting, generally it does
three things:
1. sets up all BDs (marks them ready to send), except the first one.
2. stores skb into tx_queue->tx_skbuff so that clean_tx_ring()
would cleanup it later.
3. sets up the first BD, i.e. marks it ready.
Here is what clean_tx_ring() does:
1. reads skbs from tx_queue->tx_skbuff
2. checks if the *last* BD is ready. If it's still ready [to send]
then it it isn't transmitted, so clean_tx_ring() returns.
Otherwise it actually cleanups BDs. All is OK.
Now, if there is just one BD, code flow:
- start_xmit(): stores skb into tx_skbuff. Note that the first BD
(which is also the last one) isn't marked as ready, yet.
- clean_tx_ring(): sees that skb is not null, *and* its lstatus
says that it is NOT ready (like if BD was sent), so it cleans
it up (bad!)
- start_xmit(): marks BD as ready [to send], but it's too late.
We can fix this simply by reordering lstatus/tx_skbuff writes.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.
This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver
depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always.
Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.
