ath9k/mac80211: disallow fragmentation in ath9k, report to userspace

2008-10-22T21:21:05Z

commit 4233df6b748193d45f79fb7448991a473061a65d upstream As I've reported, ath9k currently fails utterly when fragmentation is enabled. This makes ath9k "support" hardware fragmentation by not supporting fragmentation at all to avoid the double-free issue. The patch also changes mac80211 to report errors from the driver operation to userspace. That hack in ath9k should be removed once the rate control algorithm it has is fixed, and we can at that time consider removing the hw fragmentation support entirely since it's not used by any driver.

mac80211: revamp beacon configuration

2008-07-14T18:30:07Z

This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: push interface checks down

2008-07-14T18:30:07Z

This patch pushes the "netif_running()" and "same type as before" checks down into ieee80211_if_change_type() to centralise the logic instead of duplicating it for cfg80211 and wext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: revamp virtual interface handling

2008-07-14T18:30:07Z

This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less spaghetti code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

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: power management wext hooks

2008-07-14T18:30:06Z

This patch implements the power management routines wireless extensions for mac80211. For now we only support switching PS mode between on and off. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

This patch add phy information to giwname. Quoting: It's not useless, it's supposed to tell you about the protocol capability of the device, like "IEEE 802.11b" or "IEEE 802.11abg" Jean Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
