Make use of the IEEE80211_TX_RC_DUP_DATA flag to duplicate a transmission with legacy rates to both 20Mhz channels if set. Also update the related comment in rt2800.h to describe the behavior of the BW_40 flag for legacy rates.

During rx, rt2x00lib calls rt2800pci_fill_rxdone to read the RX descriptor. At that time the skb is already dma unmapped but no new skb was dma mapped for this entry again. However, rt2800pci_fill_rxdone also moves the hw rx queue index, marking this entry to be available for reuse. Since no new skb was dma mapped and also the previous skb was unmapped this might lead to strange hw behavior. To fix this issue move the hw rx queue index increment to rt2800pci_clear_entry where a new skb was already dma mapped and can be safely used by the hw.

Since HT protection is now configurable via mac80211 we don't need this special case for PCI devices anymore. The HT protection config will be overwritten as soon as mac80211 sends us a HT operation mode. Hence, bring the HT MM40 protection config in sync with the other HT protection registers and initialize it to no protection.

Update the HT operation mode when mac80211 sends it to us and set the different HT protection modes and rates accordingly. For now only use CTS-to-self with OFDM 24M or CCK 11M when protection is required.

Fix a check for dynamic SM PS mode in the STAs HT caps. Since a value of 3 means "SM PS disabled" the previous check assumed in that case that "dynamic SM PS" was enabled and as such prefixed every MCS>7 frame with a unnecessary RTS/CTS exchange. Also, the bit shift was done in the wrong direction. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci. Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few tx status reports were dropped by the hw. To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold all status reports of all used tx queues. To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used. Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously scheduled tasklet is still executing. In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet. One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more. Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.

rt2800 devices use parts of the pariwise key table to store the beacon frames for beacon 6 and 7. To not overwrite the beacon frame buffers limit the number of entries we store in the pairwise key table to 222. Also add some descriptive comments about this shared memory usage.

On association to an AP, after receiving beacons, the beacon_crc value is set. The beacon_crc value is not reset in disassociation, but the BSS data may be expired at a later point. When associating again, it's possible that a beacon for the AP is not received, resulting in the beacon_ies to remain NULL. After association, further beacons will not update the beacon data, as the crc value of the beacon has not changed, and the beacon_crc still holds a value matching the beacon. The beacon_ies will remain forever null. One of the results of this is that WLAN power save cannot be entered, the STA will remain foreven in active mode. Fix this by adding a validation flag for the beacon_crc, which is cleared on association.

In the ath9k debugging feature 'wiphy' the current channel used by the station is incorrectly displayed.This is because the channels available are sequentially mapped from numbers 0 to 37.This mapping cannot be changed as the channel number is also used as an array index This fix solves the above problem by calculating the channel number from center frequency.

The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Since uCode is responsible for doing DC calibration, there's no need to let init uCode to do initial DC calibration then send results back to driver, then driver sends the results to runtime uCode. Driver can simply tell runtime uCode to do DC calibration. Actually, this patch does not disable DC calib for init uCode. It just prevent driver from saving and sending the DC calib results (from init ucode) to runtime uCode. The driver still uses 0xffffffff in CALIB_CFG_CMD for init ucode.

iwlwifi driver supports multiple devices. Since some device needs special configuration we create a new iwl_nic_ops structure which is configurable per device. Currently there is only one function pointer inside this structure: additional_nic_config(). The iwl_nic_ops structure is added to the top level in struct iwl_ops, making it easier to change per device. Duplication of the iwl_lib_ops structure is no longer needed. With this new ops the previous function pointer set_calib_version is no longer needed since it is just a per device nic configuration. As part of the code restructuring, a bug is addressed. Indication of calib version to uCode is only needed for 6050 devices, however, current implementation set calib version for all 6000 devices for which DC calib is needed. To fix this, create iwl6050_ops for 6050 devices and only populate iwl_nic_ops in this structure. Signed-off-by: Shanyu Zhao <shanyu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>
