mac80211: fix fragmentation kludge

2008-08-01T19:31:33Z

This patch make mac80211 transmit correctly fragmented packet after queue was stopped Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: Reimplement WME using ->select_queue().

2008-07-18T02:21:12Z

The only behavior change is that we do not drop packets under any circumstances. If that is absolutely needed, we could easily add it back. With cleanups and help from Johannes Berg. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: make master netdev handling sane

2008-07-14T18:30:06Z

Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however, is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power saving stations.) Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on the list of interfaces either. This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which lets me remove a lot of tests for that - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called on the master netdev any more.

mac80211: add utility function to get header length

2008-06-14T16:18:13Z

Take a __le16 directly rather than a host-endian value. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: fix alignment issue with compare_ether_addr()

2008-05-28T20:43:50Z

This addresses an alignment issue with compare_ether_addr(). The addresses passed to compare_ether_addr should be two bytes aligned. It may function properly in x86 platform. However may not work properly on IA-64 or ARM processor. This also fixes a typo in mlme.c where the sk_buff struct name is incorect. Though sizeof() works for any incorrect structure pointer name as its just a pointer length that we want, lets just fix it. Signed-off-by: Senthil Balasubramanian Signed-off-by: Luis R.

mac80211: use multi-queue master netdevice

2008-05-22T01:48:14Z

This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces internal mac80211 state size. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
