mac80211 sets driver in monitor mode through configuring the RX filters. We cannot trust priv->iw_mode to be accurate regarding monitor mode as iw_mode is only set in add_interface, which is not called by mac80211 when in monitor mode.

First probe for proprietary firmware and then probe for opensource firmware. This way around it's a win-win situation. 1) If proprietary fw is available, it will work. 2) If opensource firmware is available, but no proprietary (Distros can only ship open fw) it might work. 3) If both open and proprietary are available, it will work, because it selects the proprietary. We currently don't prefer the open fw in this case, because it doesn't work on all devices. It would introduce a regression otherwise. The remaining FIXMEs in this patch are harmless, because they only matter on multiband devices, which are not implemented yet anyway.

Current code for the RTL8187 is not returning valid retry information, thus the rate-setting mechanism is not functioning. As a further complication, this info is only obtained by reading a register, which cannot be read while in interrupt context. This patch implements the TX status return to mac80211 through the use of a work queue. One additional problem is that the driver currently enables the rate fallback mechanism of the device, which conflicts with the mac80211 rate-setting algorithm. This version of the patch disables rate fallback.

if_cs_poll_while_fw_download() returned the number of iterations remaining on success, which in turn got returned as the value from if_cs_prog_real() and if_cs_prog_helper(). But since if_cs_probe() interprets non-zero return values from firmware load functions as an error, this sometimes caused spurious firmware load failures.

With mac80211 handling all open interfaces during suspend and resume we can simplify suspend/resume within rt2x00lib. The only thing rt2x00 needs to do is free up memory during suspend and bring back the minimal required components during resume.

Add extra security to the drivers for firmware loading, check the firmware file length before uploading it to the hardware.

Now that cfg80211 has its own regulatory infrastructure we can condense ath9k's regulatory code considerably. We only keep data we need to provide our own regulatory_hint(), reg_notifier() and information necessary for calibration. Atheros hardware supports 12 world regulatory domains, since these are custom we apply them through the the new wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Although we have 12 we can consolidate these into 5 structures based on frequency and apply a different set of flags that differentiate them on a case by case basis through the reg_notifier(). If CRDA is not found our own custom world regulatory domain is applied, this is identical to cfg80211's except we enable passive scan on most frequencies. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

If a driver is given a wiphy and it wants to get to its private mac80211 driver area it can use wiphy_to_ieee80211_hw() to get first to its ieee80211_hw and then access the private structure via hw->priv. The wiphy_priv() is already being used internally by mac80211 and drivers should not use this. This can be helpful in a drivers reg_notifier(). Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This allows drivers to request strict regulatory settings to be applied to its devices. This is desirable for devices where proper calibration and compliance can only be gauranteed for for the device's programmed regulatory domain. Regulatory domain settings will be ignored until the device's own regulatory domain is properly configured. If no regulatory domain is received only the world regulatory domain will be applied -- if OLD_REG (default to "US") is not enabled. If OLD_REG behaviour is not acceptable to drivers they must update their wiphy with a custom reuglatory prior to wiphy registration. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

Drivers may need more information than just who set the last regulatory domain, as such lets just pass the last regulatory_request receipt. To do this we need to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While at it lets add documentation for enum environment_cap. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This ensures that the initial REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE upon wiphy registration respects the wiphy->custom_regulatory setting. Without this and if OLD_REG is disabled (which will be default soon as we remove it) the wiphy->custom_regulatory is simply ignored. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

We ignore regulatory hints for the same alpha2 if we already have processed the same alpha2 on the current regulatory domain. For a driver regulatory_hint() this means we copy onto its wiphy->regd the previously procesed regulatory domain from CRDA without having to call CRDA again. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This patch adds a flag to notify drivers to start and stop beaconing when needed, for example, during a scan run. Based on Sujith's first patch to do the same, but now disables beaconing for all virtual interfaces while scanning, has a separate change flag and tracks user-space requests.

The ath5k driver didn't use set_rts_threshold or use_cts_prot, and also didn't check the IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_{RTS_CTS,CTS_PROTECT} RC flags. Tell the hardware about these so RTS/CTS will work, and so the device will work better in mixed b/g environments.
