mac80211: remove unused driver ops

2007-11-11T06:01:15Z

The driver operations set_ieee8021x(), set_port_auth() and set_privacy_invoked() are not used by any drivers, except set_privacy_invoked() they aren't even used by mac80211. Remove them at least until we need to support drivers with mac80211 that require getting this information. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: Michael Wu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: allow driver to ask for a rate control algorithm

2007-11-11T05:59:54Z

This allows a driver to ask for a specific rate control algorithm. The rate control algorithm asked for must be registered and be available as a module or built-in. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[MAC80211]: add sta_notify callback

2007-10-10T23:54:21Z

This patch adds sta_notify callback and removes sta_table_notification which was not used by any driver. sta_notify() is essential for drivers that keeps notion of station internally and need to be notified about removal or addition of a station to the (I)BSS or assocation to an AP. This version adds interface id to the parameter list as suggested by Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: Add association LED trigger

2007-10-10T23:54:20Z

Many devices have LEDs to indicate the link status. Export this functionality to drivers. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: remove ALG_NONE

2007-10-10T23:54:18Z

This "algorithm" is used only internally and is not useful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Michael Buesch Acked-by: Zhu Yi Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: remove management interface

2007-10-10T23:54:15Z

Removes the management interface since it is only required for hostapd/userspace MLME, will not be in the final tree at least in this form and hostapd/userspace MLME currently do not work against this tree anyway.

[MAC80211]: add "invalid" interface type

2007-10-10T23:54:15Z

Since I cannot convince the lazy driver authors (hello Michael) to stop (ab)using the MGMT interface type internally in their drivers, this patch introduces a new _INVALID type especially for their use and changes all affected drivers to use it.

[PATCH] mac80211: remove generic IE for AP interfaces

2007-10-10T23:53:17Z

This is not useful since we do not support probe response offload to hardware at this time and beacons are set in another way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] mac80211: remove crypto algorithm typedef

2007-10-10T23:53:00Z

The typedef is not required, we can just use "enum ieee80211_key_alg" instead of "ieee80211_key_alg" Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Michael Wu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
