mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work. This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move. First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211. With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after such an RXON command is sent. We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios: - only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC bit is sent - clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed. We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but do add the interface during reconfiguration. Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys are set and cleared correctly. There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is because of the lack of full station notification support and the later patches in this series that complete the station notification support will fix this.

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. the section of the ibss code which deals with updating supported rates for an already existing station failed to inform the rate control module about the new rates. as both minstrel and pid don't have an update function i just use the init function. also remove unnecessary (unsigned long long) casts and edit debug message.

After testing, we found that TX_STA_FIFO_MCS is the last MCS value tried. If the transmission failed, 8 frames have been transmitted. If the transmission succeed, we can easily compute the number of retry. This patch fix the way status is reported to mac80211 rate control. It has 2 bugs : 1. mcs can contain the short preamble flag and it will lead to wrong computations. 2. minstrel nearly always say that 54 Mbits is the best rate, even if we are very far from the AP Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Alban Browaeys <prahal@yahoo.com> Acked-by: Ivo van Doorn <ivdoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gertjan van Wingerde <gwingerde@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

"ieee80211" was the old name of the common library for ipw2100 and ipw2200. It was renamed to "libipw", but some occurrences of the old name remained. Rename alloc_ieee80211() to alloc_libipw() and free_ieee80211() to free_libipw(). Adjust comments and label names. Change prefixes in diagnostic messages. Keep /proc/net/ieee80211 under the original name to avoid breaking user interface. Move the affected EXPORT_SYMBOL macros to their proper places.

When a cooked monitor interface is active, ieee80211_tx_status() generates a radiotap header for every single frame, even if it wasn't injected and thus won't be sent to a monitor interface.

The rate control algorithm, default is Minstrel for ath5k, determines the number of retries to use for each rate. However, there exists in ath5k_hw_setup_4word_tx_desc (which is called for AR5212 like devices) a set number of retries defined by AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES. The set number of tries is added to the tx_tries0 variable setup by the rate control algorithm. This changes the number of retries the rate control algorithm considers necessary. By removing the AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES from the retry calculation the rate control algorithm is given control over the number of retries.

Currently the rate control tx status update gets called for every subframe of an A-MPDU, and ath9k marks the frame with the relevant status update with an internal flag. This not suitable for rate control algorithms using the standard mac80211 rate control API, so fix this by using IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU for marking the correct frames that should be processed.

keep statistics about which antenna was used for TX and RX. this is used only for debugging right now, but might have other applications later. add a new file 'antenna' in debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/antenna) to show antenna use statistics and antenna diversity related register values. it can also be used to set the antenna mode until we have proper support for that in iw: - echo diversity > antenna: use default antenna mode (RX and TX diversity) - echo fixed-a > antenna: use fixed antenna A for RX and TX - echo fixed-b > antenna: use fixed antenna B for RX and TX - echo clear > antenna: reset antenna statistics Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Acked-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

rndis_query_oid() uses full output buffer size to copy response buffer from rndis_command()/device. This doesn't cause problems as response buffer is sized based on output buffer but does copy extra unset bytes. So change rndis_query_oid() so that only meaningful bytes are being copied. Also in case of malfunctioning device/cable/etc returned data offset from device might be wrong so bound check memory access correctly, so add checks for this. v2: fixed to use new netdev_dbg/warn/etc instead of old devdbg/warn/etc Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently, the padding position is based on ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb(). This is not correct since the HW does padding on RX (and expect the same padding to be present on TX) at the following position : - management : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format - control : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format - data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS - invalid : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format whereas ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb() is : - management : 24 - control : 16 except for ACK/CTS where it is 10 - data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS + 2 if QoS & order - invalid : 24 So, correct frames are not affected : management frames do not use 4-addr format, control frames have no body and invalid frames are ... not valid by definition. However, in order to use monitor interface for debugging purpose, one must be able to send/receive any frames, be it correct or not. Such frames are affected by incorrect padding. Moreover, since padding is added on TX, we need to remove it before calling ieee80211_tx_status. This affect TX packets received by monitor interfaces. It has been tested between an ath5k based card (AR5212) and an ar9170usb based card (netgear WNDA3100) using a frame generator and a monitor interface for each card. v2: Added ath5k_add_padding / ath5k_remove_padding Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W.
