Some issues in PS prevent us from supporting it reliably. When 4965 goes to sleep it stores some data in host DRAM, reads it back when device wakes up. In 4965 there is a problem that the data is not correct when ucode starts using it upon wakeup. For all iwlagn devices there is a problem where command is sent when PS is enabled. At the moment there is a locking problem with priv->lock not being held and thus not requesting nic access correctly. We disable PS until these issues have been resolved.

* Add code to support the various antenna scenarios supported by hw * For now hardcode the default scenario (single or dual omnis with tx/rx diversity working and tx antenna handled by session -hw keeps track on which antenna it got ack from each ap/station and maps each ap/station to one of the antennas-).

After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far... * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so now hostapd works as expected. * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started. We fixed that on the previous patch. We have some more things to deal with... * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec (we get one beacon per sec). * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving + support PCF. ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get no beacons + ath9k does it too. Docs say that we must write 0 on this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be on the safe side. * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages". * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting the arblock ignore flag. * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag. * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting, so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message. Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-) Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* Now that we have regulatory control enable the driver to set txpower on hw * Also use txpower table offset so that we can match power range set by user/driver with indices on power table. Tested 2 different cards (a CM9 and an RF5112-based ubnt) and got the same output using a remote machine to measure per-packet rssi (conected the cards using attenuators). I also switched between various tx power levels and i saw an equal power change on the remote machine (so txpower changes as expected) and verified that we have the same output on each rate.

wl12xx is a driver for TI wl1251 802.11 chipset designed for embedded devices, supporting both SDIO and SPI busses. Currently the driver supports only SPI. Adding support 1253 (the 5 GHz version) should be relatively easy.

Johannes Berg authored
When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing anything, aka being idle, means: * no monitor interfaces * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network * we aren't trying to scan By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change, we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save power. Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped completely. This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here when we need to be able to wake up with low latency. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this: phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1 wlan0 direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: authenticated > phy0: device now idle > phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what happens. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

If the IE buffer was allocated, the pub.information_elements pointer was also changed to the allocated space. So we must not assume anymore that the pointer points at the "found" tail.

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies.
