[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)

2006-09-25T20:52:14Z

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[NET]: Create netdev attribute_groups with class_device_add

2006-05-07T00:56:03Z

Atomically create attributes when class device is added. This avoids the race between registering class_device (which generates hotplug event), and the creation of attribute groups. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate

2006-03-21T01:09:11Z

this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

[PATCH] fix /sys/class/net//wireless without dev->get_wireless_stats

2006-01-10T16:01:24Z

dev->get_wireless_stats is deprecated but removing it also removes wireless subdirectory in sysfs. This patch puts it back. akpm: I don't know what's happening here. This might be appropriate as a 2.6.15.x compatibility backport. Waiting to hear from Jeff. Signed-off-by: Andrey Borzenkov Cc: "David S.

[PATCH] net: swich device attribute creation to default attrs

2006-01-05T00:18:10Z

Recent udev versions don't longer cover bad sysfs timing with built-in logic. Explicit rules are required to do that. For net devices, the following is needed: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="address" to handle access to net device properties from an event handler without races. This patch changes the main net attributes to be created by the driver core, which is done _before_ the event is sent out and will not require the stat() loop of the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08Z

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[NET]: Allow controlling NAPI device weight with sysfs

2005-06-08T21:55:42Z

Simple interface to allow changing network device scheduling weight with sysfs. Please consider this for 2.6.12, since risk/impact is small. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
