* carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruptionChristian Lamparter2012-07-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an alternative tx status path for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK. Without this patch, the stack would constantly resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the receiver stack, this could lead to: - "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the stale BAR would reset the sequence each time. - lots of reorder releases. - ...

* mac80211: don't always advertise remain-on-channelJohannes Berg2012-04-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all devices are really capable of implementing remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW, as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes while associated. Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel implemented in the driver/device. Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right now since those definitely have to have it working.

* carl9170: remove eeprom data injection optionChristian Lamparter2012-01-241-33/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the early days, this was a quite useful software feature for testing different regdomains and chain configurations without adding debugfs cruft into the driver. Nowadays, the driver's phy code seems to be stable and there's no need for it anymore. Therefore I decided to removed altogether.

* drivers/net: Add module.h to drivers who were implicitly using itPaul Gortmaker2011-10-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for most of these drivers. But we want to clean that up. Call out the include of module.h in the modular network drivers. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
* carl9170: fix timekeeping for HW_COUNTER firmwaresChristian Lamparter2011-08-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | AR9170_PWR_REG_PLL_ADDAC is used to set the main clock divisor which affects the AHB/CPU speed. Because this would interfere with the firmware internal timekeeping, the function has to be moved into the firmware.

* carl9170: advertise interface combinationsChristian Lamparter2011-05-161-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | In order to provide multiple interfaces for a single device, the driver will be required to advertise all possible interface configurations to the stack. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | "mac80211 will properly assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing."

* carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter2010-10-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
