rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routine

2008-08-01T19:31:35Z

Some users of the RTL8187B have experienced difficulties since commit 49292d56352a6ab90d04c3448dd8b6106dfef2d6 that introduced the power management wext hooks. This difficulty has not made much sense until it was realized that it was possible for mac80211 to make a call to the config routine while that routine was already being executed. On this device, it is necessary to loopback the TX when changing channels. Unless this is properly restored, the device will lockup. A mutex now protects the device state, and the private data in several places. The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski , who also suggested this type of fix.

rtl8187: Improve wireless statistics for RTL8187B

2008-07-29T20:55:08Z

Wireless statistics produced by the RTL8187B driver are not particularly informative about the strength of the received signal. From the data sheet provided by Realtek, I discovered that certain parts of the RX header should have the information necessary to calculate signal quality and strength. With testing, it became clear that most of these quantities were very jittery - only the AGC correlated with the signals expected from nearby AP's. As a result, the quality and strength are derived from the agc value. The scaling has been determined so that the numbers are close to those obtained by b43 under the same conditions. The results are qualitatively correct. Statistics derived for the RTL8187 have not been changed. The RX header variables have been renamed to match the quantites described in the Realtek data sheet.
