2007-04-25[WIRELESS]: Refactor wireless Kconfig.Johannes Berg
This patch refactors the wireless Kconfig all over and already introduces net/wireless/Kconfig with just the WEXT bit for now, the cfg80211 patch will add to that as well.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->end to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now to convert the last one, skb->data, that will allow many simplifications and removal of some of the offset helpers. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_tArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Some more simple skb_reset_network_header conversionsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This time of the type: skb->nh.iph = (struct iphdr *)skb->data; That is completely equivalent to: skb->nh.raw = skb->data; Wonder why people love casts... :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-02-14[PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix setting of initial transmit ratesLarry Finger
There is a bug in ieee80211softmac that always sets the user rate to 11Mbs, no matter the capabilities of the device. This bug was probably beneficial as long as the bcm43xx cards were rate limited; however, most are now capable of relatively high speeds. This patch fixes that bug and eliminates an assert that is no longer needed. Once the cards are capable of full OFDM speeds, the 24 Mbs rate will be changed to 54 Mbs.

Unconfigured bcm43xx device can hit an assert() during wx_get_rate queries. This is because bcm43xx calls ieee80211softmac_start late (i.e. during open instead of probe). bcm43xx_net_open -> bcm43xx_init_board -> bcm43xx_select_wireless_core -> ieee80211softmac_start Fix is to check that device is running before completing ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate.

2006-12-19[PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix errors related to the work_struct changesUlrich Kunitz
The signature of work functions changed recently from a context pointer to the work structure pointer. This caused a problem in the ieee80211softmac code, because the ieee80211softmac_assox_work function has been called directly with a parameter explicitly casted to (void*). This compiled correctly but resulted in a softlock, because mutex_lock was called with the wrong memory address. The patch fixes the problem. Another issue was a wrong call of the schedule_work function. Softmac works again and this fixes the problem I mentioned earlier in the zd1211rw rx tasklet patch.

2006-12-02[PATCH] ieee80211: Drop and count duplicate data frames to remove 'replay ↵Larry Finger
detected' log messages In the SoftMAC version of the IEEE 802.11 stack, not all duplicate messages are detected. For the most part, there is no difficulty; however for TKIP and CCMP encryption, the duplicates result in a "replay detected" log message where the received and previous values of the TSC are identical. This change adds a new variable to the ieee80211_device structure that holds the 'seq_ctl' value for the previous frame. When a new frame repeats the value, the frame is dropped and the appropriate counter is incremented. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-12-02[PATCH] ieee80211: Move IV/ICV stripping into ieee80211_rxDaniel Drake
This patch adds a host_strip_iv_icv flag to ieee80211 which indicates that ieee80211_rx should strip the IV/ICV/other security features from the payload. This saves on some memmove() calls in the driver and seems like something that belongs in the stack as it can be used by bcm43xx, ipw2200, and zd1211rw I will submit the ipw2200 patch separately as it needs testing.

Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-11-28[PATCH] softmac: remove netif_tx_disable when scanningMichael Buesch
In the scan section of ieee80211softmac, network transmits are disabled. When SoftMAC re-enables transmits, it may override the wishes of a driver that may have very good reasons for disabling transmits. At least one failure in bcm43xx can be traced to this problem. In addition, several unexplained problems may arise from the unexpected enabling of transmits. Note that making this change introduces a new bug that would allow transmits for the current session to be transmitted on the wrong channel; however, the new bug is much less severe than the one being fixed, as the new one only leads to a few retransmits, whereas the old one can bring the interface down. A fix that will not introduce new bugs is being investigated; however, the current, more serious one should be fixed now.
