[PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps. · 2638fed7

David Woodhouse authored Mar 23, 2006

We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M
just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we
even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP.

This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people.
When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the
defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at
11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

[PATCH] softmac: reduce scan dwell time · 16f43527

David Woodhouse authored Mar 23, 2006

It currently takes something like 8 seconds to do a scan, because we
spend half a second on each channel. Reduce that time to 20ms per
channel.

[PATCH] Minor (janitorial) change to ieee80211 · d94606e0

Larry Finger authored Mar 03, 2006

The attached patch removes a potential problem from ieee80211_wx.c, by changing the name of routine
ipw2100_translate_scan to ieee80211_translate_scan. The problem is minor as the routine is declared
static; however, if it were made global, it would pollute the namespace.

[PATCH] hostap: Fix EAPOL frame encryption · cfa146e4

Jouni Malinen authored Mar 24, 2006

Fixed encrypted of EAPOL frames from wlan#ap interface (hostapd). This
was broken when moving to use new frame control field defines in
net/ieee80211.h. hostapd uses Protected flag, not protocol version
(which was cleared in this function anyway). This fixes WPA group key
handshake and re-authentication.

[PATCH] hostap: Make hostap_tx_encrypt() static · 79058aca

Jouni Malinen authored Mar 24, 2006

hostap_tx_encrypt() is used only inside hostap_80211_tx.c and there
are no plans to use it elsewhere in the future either, so let's make
it static. As a bonus, this should silence Coverity scanner from
complaining about bogus FORWARD_NULL case (CID: 274).

[PATCH] bcm43xx: fix DMA TX skb freeing in case of fragmented packets. · 512a8091

Pete Zaitcev authored Mar 07, 2006

It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which
does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right.

Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down.
The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first
fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both
skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse
of the second skb's memory.

This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch
below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler,
which is good, right?
