mac80211: add missing docs for off-chan TX flag

2011-01-10T20:40:52Z

The flag is IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN and I had added that in a previous patch but forgotten docs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add remain-on-channel docs

2011-01-10T20:40:51Z

Add documentation for the new callbacks that I forgot in the patch adding the callbacks. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: implement hardware offload for remain-on-channel

2011-01-05T21:07:12Z

This allows drivers to support remain-on-channel offload if they implement smarter timing or need to use a device implementation like iwlwifi. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: selective throughput LED trigger active

2010-12-22T19:33:37Z

The throughput LED trigger was always active when the radio was enabled. In most cases that's likely the desired behaviour, but iwlwifi requires it to be only active when one of the virtual interfaces is actually "connected" in some way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add throughput based LED blink trigger

2010-12-22T19:33:37Z

iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED based on throughput. Implement this generically in mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink frequencies depending on their desired behaviour and max throughput. All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class device, best with blink hardware offload.

mac80211: Add timeout to BA session start API

2010-12-15T22:03:59Z

Allow drivers or rate control algorithms to specify BlockAck session timeout when initiating an ADDBA transaction. This is useful in cases where maintaining persistent BA sessions does not incur any overhead. The current timeout value of 5000 TUs is retained for all non ath9k/ath9k_htc drivers.

mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni()

2010-11-30T18:53:46Z

All rt2x00 drivers except rt2800pci call ieee80211_tx_status() from a workqueue, which causes "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages. To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni() which can be called from process context, and call it from rt2x00lib_txdone(). For the rt2800pci special case a driver flag is introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: Add documentation for antenna ops

cfg80211/mac80211: improve ad-hoc multicast rate handling

2010-11-24T21:19:35Z

- store the multicast rate as an index instead of the rate value (reduces cpu overhead in a hotpath) - validate the rate values (must match a bitrate in at least one sband) Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: defines for AC numbers

2010-11-17T21:19:31Z

In many places we've just hardcoded the AC numbers -- which is a relic from the original mac80211 (d80211). Add constants for them so we know what we're talking about. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
