This patch adds code to extract the SSID from the beacon template used for ad-hoc. The mac80211 currently does not provide the SSID, so this is a workaround for that, for now.

Currently the PSM entry function assumes successful operation, and enables ELP, BET and beacon filtering right away. This is bad, because the PSM entry may fail due to environmental issues, which will cause the ELP, BET and beacon filtering to be illegally enabled (because FW remains in active state.) Fix this by enabling ELP, BET and beacon filtering only after successful entry, and by ensuring the firmware is in active mode after the failure.

In wireless-testing, commit 7044cc56 added struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr to include/linux/ieee80211.h. This definition collides with one that is in the rtl8192su driver in staging. The conflict is resolved by changing rtl8192su to use the definition from include/linux/ieee80211.h. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had, is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

...and use it in hostap_cs and orinoco_cs. Another PCMCIA device with Intersil Prism chipset has been reported: Socket 0: product info: "Gigabyte", "GN-WLM01_P25L_ADAPTER", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA" manfid: 0x02e0, 0x1011 function: 6 (network) As it's the case with some other Prism based devices, the third ID string contains a design name that should be sufficient to identify the card as having Intersil Prism chipset and thus compatible with both orinoco_cs and hostap_cs. Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 that matches the third ID string only. Use it in orinoco_cs and hostap_cs to match cards with the third ID string indicating Prism chipset.

Currently, ieee80211_drop_unencrypted is called from management and data frame context, and the different contexts pass different frames. This could lead to it processing an 802.3 frame as an 802.11 frame when MFP is enabled. Move the MFP part of ieee80211_drop_unencrypted into a new function that is only called for mgmt frames.

Jouni Malinen authored
This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

802.11-2007 7.3.1.11 mandates that we need to reject action frames we don't handle by setting the 0x80 bit in the category and returning them to the sender, so do that. In AP mode, hostapd is responsible for this. Additionally, drop completely malformed action frames or ones that should've been encrypted as unusable, userspace shouldn't see those.

Support for rt30xx- and rt35xx-based devices is currently not functional in rt2800pci and rt2800usb. In order to not confuse users we shouldn't claim the PCI and USB device ID's for these devices. However, to allow for testing it is good to still have them available, although disabled by default. Make support for these device configuration options that default to off. For rt2800usb a 3rd class of devices is added, which are the unknown devices. For these devices it is known that they are either based on rt28xx, rt30xx or rt35xx, but it is not known on what chipset exactly. These devices are disabled by default as well, until it can be established on what chipset exactly they are based. Signed-off-by: Gertjan van Wingerde <gwingerde@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout value from the initvals with a smaller value. I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput. When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_ ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets (tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to bring the throughput up.

To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call. This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.

There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan) will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211 will receive a scan completion. Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan request arrives from mac80211. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
