By definition WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY was intended to allow the wiphy to adjust itself to the country IE power information if the card had no regulatory data but we had no way to tell cfg80211 that if the card also had its own custom regulatory domain (these are typically custom world regulatory domains) that we want to follow the country IE's noted values for power for each channel. We add support for this and document it. This is not a critical fix but a performance optimization for cards with custom regulatory domains that associate to an AP with sends out country IEs with a higher EIRP than the one on the custom regulatory domain. In practice the only driver affected right now are the Atheros drivers as they are the only drivers using both WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY and WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY -- used on cards that have an Atheros world regulatory domain. Cards that have been programmed to follow a country specifically will not follow the country IE power. So although not a stable fix distributions should consider cherry picking this.

before concluding that the recieved beacon is for us, let us make sure that the BSSID is non-zero. when I configured ad-hoc mode as creator and left it for some time without joining I found we recieved few frames whose BSSID is zero, which we concluded wrongly as 'my_beacons' Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This initial DFS module provides basic functionality to deal with radar pulses reported by the Atheros DFS HW pulse detector. The reported data is evaluated and basic plausibility checks are performed to filter false pulses. Passing radar pulses are forwarded to pattern detectors which are not yet implemented.

Instead of releasing and taking back the lock over and over again in the tx path, hold the lock a bit longer, requiring much fewer lock/unlock pairs.

Currently BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames are always sent using AC_VO. If the TID for which a BA session is established is assigned to a different queue BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames can "overtake" frames of the according BA session. Hence, always put BA session related frames into the same queue as the BA sessions data frames. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Now that IBSS no longer needs to insert stations from atomic context, we can get rid of all the special cases for that, and even get rid of the sta_lock (though it needs to stay as tim_lock.)

In order to notify drivers and simplify the station management code, defer IBSS station insertion to a work item and don't do it directly while receiving a frame. This increases the complexity in IBSS a little bit, but it's pretty straight forward and it allows us to reduce the station management complexity (next patch) considerably.

Currently, each AP interface will send multicast traffic if any interface has a station entry even if that station entry is allocated only. With the new station state management we can easily fix it by adding a counter that counts each authorized station only and send multicast traffic only when the correct interface has at least one authorized station.

Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

We need to set the extended radio parameters for wl127x only. Currently, we were only calling this command with wl127x STA mode, but we should also do it for AP mode.

We should not get an hlid value bigger than WL12XX_MAX_LINKS from wl1271_rx_handle_data(). We have a WARN_ON in case it happens. But despite the warning, we would still go ahead and write the hlid bit into active_hlids (a stack variable). This would cause us to overwrite other data in the stack. To avoid this problem, we now skip the write when issuing the warning, so at least we don't corrupt data. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>

This patch is an initial implementation for the NFC Logical Link Control protocol. It's also known as NFC peer to peer mode. This is a basic implementation as it lacks SDP (services Discovery Protocol), frames aggregation support, and frame rejecion parsing. Follow up patches will implement those missing features. This code has been tested against a Nexus S phone implementing LLCP 1.0. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
