Linux keeps scan results up to 15 seconds. This can be a problem for fast moving clients: they get back stale data. But if the kernel reports the age of the BSS items, then user-space can simply weed out old entries by itself.

hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate module, the next expected user of this code will be the ath9k_htc module. The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel ath9k_hw will also be compiled in. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

If the current channel is between 2412 and 2472 MHz and if the channel is changing to 2484 MHz, then the registers 0xa1f4, 0xa1f8 and 0xa1fc need to be programmed to the "japan_2484" values. Conversely, if the current channel is 2484 MHz and if the channel is changing to one between 2412 and 2472 MHz, then the three registers need to be programmed to the "normal" values. This is needed for compliance with Japanese regulatory requirements. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Using powersave while idle saves a lot of power, but we've had problems with this on some cards (5150 has been reported to be problematic). However, on the new 6000 series we're seeing no problems, so for now let that hardware benefit from idle mode, we can look at the problems with other hardware one by one and then enable those once we figure out the problems.

When instructing the microcode to use just a single chain when we have power saving enabled, we should also tell the AP that we are doing SM powersave. However, using a single chain doesn't actually have any power saving advantage while idle -- measurements show that the power consumption is no different when using one vs. two or three chains. Therefore, always instruct the microcode to use all chains. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Today's implementation allow LED to blink based on the traffic condition. We introduce an additional LED mode that reflects the RF state. The supported LED modes after this are: IWL_LED_BLINK (current/default) - blink rate based on current Tx/Rx traffic IWL_LED_RF_STATE (new) - LED OFF: No power/RF disabled, the LED is emitting no light LED ON: Powered/RF enabled, the LED is emitting light in a stable non-flashing state. In order to provide the flexibility to support different LED behavior per user/system preference we add "led_mode" iwlcore module parameter.

Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different for different modes. However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case. We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the "is_agg" field to struct lq_sta. Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected code.

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use protection. The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3: Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT stations in a 20 MHz BSS Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or secondary channels Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one 20 MHz HT station is associated. Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS. When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self. By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment. For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

The chain settings we currently use in iwlwifi are rather confusing -- and we also go by the wrong settings entirely under certain circumstances. To clean it up, create a new variable in the current HT config -- single_chain_sufficient -- that tells us whether we need more than one chain. Calculate that based on the AP and operating mode (no IBSS HT implemented -- so no need for multiple chains, for station mode we use the AP's capabilities). Additionally, since APs always send disabled SM PS mode, keeping track of their sm_ps mode isn't very useful -- doubly not so for our _own_ RX config since that should depend on our, not the AP's, SM PS mode. Finally, document that our configuration of the number of RX chains used is currently wrong when in powersave (by adding a comment). All together this removes the two remaining items in struct iwl_ht_config that were done wrong there. For the future, the number of RX chains and some SM PS handshaking needs to be added to mac80211, which then needs to tell us, and the new variable current_ht_config.single_chain_sufficient should also be calculated by mac80211.

Adjust led blink rate to compensate on a MAC Clock difference on every HW. Led blink rate analysis showed an average deviation of 0% on 3945, 5% on 4965 HW and 20% on 5000 series and up. Need to compensate on the led on/off time per HW according to the deviation to achieve the desired led frequency The calculation is: (100-averageDeviation)/100 * blinkTime For code efficiency the calculation will be: compensation = (100 - averageDeviation) * 64 / 100 NewBlinkTime = (compensation * BlinkTime) / 64 Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
