2008-01-28mac80211: better rate control algorithm selectionJohannes Berg
This patch changes mac80211's Kconfig/Makefile to: * select between the PID and the SIMPLE rate control algorithm as default * always allow tri-state for the rate control algorithms, building those that are selected 'y' into the mac80211 module (if that is a module, otherwise all into the kernel) * force the default rate control algorithm to be built into mac80211 It also makes both rate control algorithms proper modules again with MODULE_LICENSE etc. Only if EMBEDDED is the user allowed to select "NONE" as default which will cause no algorithm to be selected, this will work only when the driver brings one itself (e.g. iwlwifi drivers).

2008-01-28rc80211-pid: add debuggingMattias Nissler
This adds a new debugfs file from which rate control relevant events can be read one event per line. The output includes the current time, so graphs can be created showing the rate control parameters. This helps in evaluating and tuning rate control parameters. While at it, we split headers and code for better readability. Signed-off-by: Mattias Nissler <mattias.nissler@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28mac80211: make PID rate control algorithm the defaultStefano Brivio
This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave better. The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211 module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then the choice is available to have no default specified and neither algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set through a modparam. While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it for removal. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28mac80211: add PID controller based rate control algorithmMattias Nissler
Add a new rate control algorithm based on a PID controller. It samples the percentage of failed frames over time, feeds the result into the controller and uses its output to control the TX rate.

2007-11-10mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-inJohannes Berg
Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another rate control algorithm.)

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: refactor event sendingJohannes Berg
Create a new file event.c that will contain code to send mac/mlme events to userspace. For now put the Michael MIC failure condition into it and remove sending of that condition via the management interface, hostapd interestingly doesn't do anything when it gets such a packet besides printing a message, it reacts only on the private iwevent.

2007-07-17[PATCH] mac80211: regulatory domain cleanupDaniel Drake
Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle regulatory domain control. It is called from ieee80211_register_hwmode(), which typically runs 2 or 3 times (802.11a/b/g), but each time it iterates over all the modes. This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion: ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis (doesn't have to deal with netdevs). I also moved the regdomain handling code into its own file and added some documentation. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.
