cfg80211: fix allowing country IEs for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY

2011-02-17T22:46:58Z

commit 749b527b21465fb079796c03ffb4302584dc31c1 upstream. We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY even if we haven't yet recieved regulatory domain hint for the driver if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170. This was part of the original design, however it was completely overlooked... Cc: Easwar Krishnan Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfg80211: fix regression on processing country IEs

2010-12-09T21:32:07Z

commit a171fba491f54216e356efa46096171a7ed01d10 upstream. The patch 4f366c5: wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included checking that we already had performed an intersection for the request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type. This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country IE country hint with the data received from CRDA. This patch has fixes intended for kernels >= 2.6.36. Reported-by: Easwar Krishnan Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfg80211: Update of regulatory request initiator handling

In some cases there could be possible dereferencing freed pointer. The update is intended to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Yuri Ershov Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

wireless: remove unneeded variable from regulatory_hint_11d()

wireless: remove unnecessary reg_same_country_ie_hint

2010-07-20T20:49:41Z

"Might as well remove reg_same_country_ie_hint() completely since we already dealt with suspend/resume through the regulatory hint disconnect." -- Luis Reported-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE

2010-07-20T20:44:35Z

The meaning and/or usage of the country IE is somewhat poorly defined. In practice, this means that regulatory rulesets in a country IE are often incomplete and might be untrustworthy. This removes the code associated with interpreting those rulesets while preserving respect for country "alpha2" codes also contained in the country IE. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

wireless: move regulatory_init to .init.text

2010-06-18T19:11:13Z

regulatory_init is only called by cfg80211_init which is in .init.text, too. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
