2008-01-24Revert "mac80211: warn when receiving frames with unaligned data"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really relevant to wireless driver developers. The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but at least we won't unnecessarily worry users. Acked-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-12-19mac80211: fix header opsJohannes Berg
When using recvfrom() on a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket, I noticed that the MAC address passed back for wireless frames was always completely wrong. The reason for this is that the header parse function assigned to our virtual interfaces is a function parsing an 802.11 rather than 802.3 header. This patch fixes it by keeping the default ethernet header operations assigned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2007-11-29mac80211: free ifsta->extra_ie and clear IEEE80211_STA_PRIVACY_INVOKEDZhu Yi
I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP, wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that. Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

2007-11-20mac80211: fix allmulti/promisc behaviourJohannes Berg
When an interface with promisc/allmulti bit is taken down, the mac80211 state can become confused. This fixes it by making mac80211 keep track of all *active* interfaces that have the promisc/allmulti bit set in the sdata, we sync the interface bit into sdata at set_multicast_list() time so this works.

2007-11-20mac80211: fix ieee80211_set_multicast_listJohannes Berg
I recently experienced unexplainable behaviour with the b43 driver when I had broken firmware uploaded. The cause may have been that promisc mode was not correctly enabled or disabled and this bug may have been the cause. Note how the values are compared later in the function so just doing the & will result in the wrong thing being compared and the test being false almost always.

2007-11-10mac80211: make "decrypt failed" messages conditional upon MAC80211_DEBUGJohn W. Linville
Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG. They have been useful for finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just clutter a user's logs. A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a single BSSID but with different protection schemes or different keys for each SSID. In such an environment these messages are just noise. Let's just leave them for those interested enough to turn-on debugging. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In the long bug-hunt for why dynamic WEP networks didn't work it turned out that mac80211 incorrectly uses IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT while it should use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED to determine whether to associate to protected networks or not.

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.)

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke.

2007-10-18[PATCH] mac80211: make ieee802_11_parse_elems return voidJohn W. Linville
Some APs send management frames with junk padding after the last IE. We already account for a similar problem with some Apple Airport devices, but at least one device is known to send more than a single extra byte. The device in question is the Draytek Vigor2900: http://www.draytek.com.au/products/Vigor2900.php The junk in question looks like an IE that runs off the end of the frame. This cause us to return ParseFailed. Since the frame in question is an association response, this causes us to fail to associate with this AP. The return code from ieee802_11_parse_elems is superfluous. All callers still check for the presence of the specific IEs that interest them anyway. So, remove the return code so the parse never "fails". Acked-by: Michael Wu <flamingice@sourmilk.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2007-10-10[PATCH] ieee80211_if_set_type: make check for master dev more explicitJohn W. Linville
Problem description by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>: "This sequence of events causes loss of connectivity: <plug in> <associate as normal in managed mode> ifconfig eth7 down iwconfig eth7 mode monitor ifconfig eth7 up ifconfig eth7 down iwconfig eth7 mode managed <associate as normal> At this point you are associated but TX does not work. This is because the eth7 hard_start_xmit is still ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit." The problem is caused by ieee80211_if_set_type checking for a non-zero hard_start_xmit pointer value in order to avoid changing that value for master devices. The fix is to make that check more explicitly linked to master devices rather than simply checking if the value has been previously set.
