Drivers can now advertise to cfg80211 that they have multiple MAC addresses reserved for a device, but we don't currently make use of that in mac80211. Change that and assign different addresses to new virtual interfaces (if addresses are available) in order to make it easier for users to use multiple virtual interfaces; they no longer need to always assign a new MAC address manually.

The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up the scan itself. Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and return to the operating channel in that case. Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence, scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated listen interval allows us to. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The AR_IMR_S2 register sometimes cannot be read correctly. Instead of a valid value, 0xdeadbeef is returned. The driver has been observed writing that value back to AR_IMR_S2 after changing a few bits. Cache the register value in ah->imrs2_reg and always write chached value to the register.

when an IBSS merge happened, the supported rates for the newly added station were left empty, causing the rate control module to be initialized with only the basic rates. also the section of the ibss code which deals with updating supported rates for an already existing station fails to inform the rate control module about the new rates. as i don't know how to fix this (minstrel does not have an update function), i have just added a comment for now.

This patch uses a higher precision timer to synchronize with the firmware clock.

This patch implements looped IRQ handling. In essence, if a new interrupt is asserted by the FW while the host is processing the previous one, the host will directly proceed processing the new IRQ without leaving the handling function.

Most probably patch "wl1271: add most of the normal initialization commands to PLT mode" enabled the RX path in firmware so that now driver received frames and passed them to mac80211, which warned about them.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update() notification to the driver. This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always. Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

At the wireless summit in Portland we discussed a way of loading firmware asynchronously from ->probe() before registration to mac80211, in order to register with the wireless subsystems with complete information in cases where firmware is required to know parameters. This is not yet the case in iwlwifi, but for some new features we're working on it will be the case since those will only be supported by new firmware images. Hence, to start with, convert iwlwifi to load firmware asynchronously from probe, unbinding the device when firmware loading fails, and only registering with the wireless subsystems after firmware has been loaded successfully. Future patches will hook into this to register the new firmware capabilities, depending on the firmware API version.

Commit e1dd33f60ced091114e4aacf141e0d03b88d3e13 changed cfg80211 to allow association commands while in associated state to enable support for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the reassociation case to clear internal state with the BSS that was in use previously. This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation command and clean the association state with the previous BSS. This fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with -Dnl80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
