mac80211: share STA information with driver

2008-09-15T20:48:23Z

This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when they get around to updating, and might also help with implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

mac80211: use nl80211 interface types

2008-09-15T20:48:23Z

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need to translate them any more now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: move frame TX function

2008-09-11T19:53:39Z

The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more, it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: make BA session handling independent of STA mode

2008-09-11T19:53:39Z

The aggregation handling isn't dependent on anything related to our STA-mode implementation, and doesn't need to depend on it for frame processing. This patch moves the relevant code to ht.c and adds a hook in rx.c. For now, the relevant action frames are only processed in STA/IBSS modes, but that's now something we can easily change.

mac80211: move some HT code out of main.c

2008-09-11T19:53:37Z

Now that I've created ht.c, I can move the aggregation code from main.c into it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: move some HT code out of mlme.c

2008-09-11T19:53:37Z

Some of the HT code in mlme.c is misplaced: * constants/definitions belong to the ieee80211.h header * code being used in other modes as well shouldn't be there Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
