Write isWwrSKU as an inline function and nix the camel-case to make the routine slightly clearer. Change its argument to take the regd value directly so it can eventually be used by ath5k as well.

This avoids triggering a BUG_ON in pci_disable_msi in the error path. Furthermore remove the first call to pci_disable_device as it is already called at out_pci_disable_device. Both issues were introduced in the patch "iwlagn: fix hw-rfkill while the interface is down".

The AP can switch dynamically between 20/40 Mhz channel width, in which case we switch the local operating channel, but the rate control algorithm is not notified. This patch adds a new callback to indicate such changes to the RC algorithm. Currently, HT channel width change is notified, but this callback can be used to indicate any new requirements that might come up later on.

This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

mac80211 currently assumes init_net for all interfaces, so really will not cope well with network namespaces, at least at this time. To change this, we would have keep track of the netns in addition to the ifindex, which is not something I want to think about right now.

It is possible that some broken AP might send HT IEs in it's assoc response even though the STA has not sent them in assoc req when WEP/TKIP is used as pairwise cipher suite.

The problem: "iwconfig ethX power on" returns error The cause: "ps_supported" flag was never set for SD8385/8686 The fix: check firmware capabilities returned by GET_HW_SPEC command. Set "ps_supported" to 1 if FW_CAPINFO_PS bit is on. This fix applies to SDIO interface only.

Currently there are two paths for filling rx buffer queues. One is used during initialization and the other during runtime. This patch removes ql_alloc_sbq_buffers() and ql_alloc_lbq_buffers() and replaces them with a call to the runtime functions ql_update_lbq() and ql_update_sbq().

RX Buffers are refilled in chunks of 16 at a time before notifying the hardware with a register write. This can cause several writes to take place in a given napi poll call.

Instead of taking/giving the hw semaphore repeatedly when iterating over several frame to queue route settings, we have the caller hold it until all are done.

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows: If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error; else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag. This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify() wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification (including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets. This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify() (before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification fails and should resync itself.

A receive coalescing timeout of 250 usec appears to strike a good balance between allowing enough received frames to be aggregated for LRO to do its job and not allowing the connection to stall due to delaying ACKs to the remote end for too long.

Move the netif_carrier_off() call in ->open() to port probe, so that ethtool doesn't report the link as being up before we have up'd the interface. Move initialisation of the rx/tx coalescing timers from ->open() to port probe, so that we don't reset the coalescing timers every time the interface is up'd.
