cfg80211: notify drivers about frame registrations

2010-10-13T19:45:22Z

Drivers may need to adjust their filters according to frame registrations, so notify them about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211/mac80211: allow management frame TX in AP mode

2010-10-05T17:35:23Z

Enable management frame transmission and subscribing to management frames through nl80211 in both cfg80211 and mac80211. Also update a few places that I forgot to update for P2P-client mode previously, and fix a small bug with non-action frames in this API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211/nl80211: introduce p2p device types

2010-09-16T19:46:06Z

This adds P2P-STA and P2P-GO as device types so we can distinguish between those and normal STA or AP (respectively) type interfaces. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211/mac80211: extensible frame processing

2010-08-24T20:27:56Z

Allow userspace to register for more than just action frames by giving the frame subtype, and make it possible to use this in various modes as well. With some tweaks and some added functionality this will, in the future, also be usable in AP mode and be able to replace the cooked monitor interface currently used in that case.

cfg80211: deauth doesn't always imply disconnect

2010-08-16T19:26:39Z

When an AP sends a deauth frame, or we send one to an AP, that only means we lost our connection if we were actually connected to that AP. Check this to avoid sending spurious "disconnected" events and breaking "iw ... link" reporting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: fix locking in action frame TX

2010-08-09T19:18:57Z

Accesses to "wdev->current_bss" must be locked with the wdev lock, which action frame transmission is missing. Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.33+] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: ignore spurious deauth

2010-07-12T20:05:31Z

Ever since mac80211/drivers are no longer fully in charge of keeping track of the auth status, trying to make them do so will fail. Instead of warning and reporting the deauthentication to userspace, cfg80211 must simply ignore it so that spurious deauthentications, e.g. before starting authentication, aren't seen by userspace as actual deauthentications.

cfg80211/mac80211: allow action frame TX/RX in IBSS

2010-06-14T19:38:16Z

When in IBSS mode, currently action frame TX and RX cannot be used. Allow using it to talk to any peer, or for public action frames. Also, while at it, restructure the code in mac80211 to make it easier to add this for other interface types in the future. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: make action channel type optional

2010-06-02T20:13:27Z

When sending action frames, we want to verify that we do that on the correct channel. However, checking the channel type in addition can get in the way, since the channel type could change on the fly during an association, and it's not useful to have the channel type anyway since it has no effect on the transmission. Therefore, make it optional to specify so that if wanted, it can still be checked, but is not required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
