[MAC80211]: improve radiotap injection

2007-10-10T23:54:18Z

This improves radiotap injection by removing the shortcut over TX handlers that led to BUGS when injecting frames without setting a rate and also resulted in various other quirks. Now, TX handlers are run but some information that was present in the radiotap header is used instead of automatic settings. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Andy Green Signed-off-by: John W.

[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.

[PATCH] mac80211: consolidate encryption

2007-10-10T23:53:14Z

Currently we run through all crypto handlers for each transmitted frame although we already know which one will be used. This changes the code to invoke only the needed handler. It also moves the wep code into wep.c. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] mac80211: fix virtual interface locking

2007-10-10T23:53:00Z

Florian Lohoff noticed a bug in mac80211: when bringing the master interface down while other virtual interfaces are up we call dev_close() under a spinlock which is not allowed. This patch removes the sub_if_lock used by mac80211 in favour of using an RCU list. All list manipulations are already done under rtnl so are well protected against each other, and the read-side locks we took in the RX and TX code are already in RCU read-side critical sections.

[MAC80211]: print out wiphy name instead of master device

2007-10-10T23:52:32Z

This makes mac80211 print out the wiphy name instead of the master device name where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Michael Wu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: remove key threshold stuff

2007-10-10T23:52:29Z

This patch removes the key threshold stuff from mac80211. I have patches for later that add it as a per-key setting to nl/cfg80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Michael Wu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Introduce and use print_mac() and DECLARE_MAC_BUF()

2007-10-10T23:51:42Z

This is nicer than the MAC_FMT stuff. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
