mac80211 : Fix setting ad-hoc mode and non-ibss channel

2008-11-25T21:13:08Z

Patch fixes the kernel trace when user tries to set ad-hoc mode on non IBSS channel. e.g iwconfig wlan0 chan 36 mode ad-hoc Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kolekar Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

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

2008-10-15T01:12:37Z

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: move txrate_idx into RC algorithms

2008-09-15T20:48:24Z

The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

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: clean up scan namespace

2008-09-15T20:48:22Z

Most of the scan functions are called ieee80211_sta_scan_* or similar, make clean it up so they are all just called ieee80211_scan_*. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: move ieee80211_set_freq to utils

2008-09-15T20:48:22Z

It really doesn't belong into the wireless extensions code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: cleanup mlme state namespace

2008-08-22T20:29:59Z

This patch move add STA_MLME to station mlme state defines. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate

2008-08-22T20:29:58Z

This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat. This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be provided.

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
