| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody.

* | rtl8187: add short slot handling for 8187BHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski2008-10-311-4/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips. Some things to note about changes done: * Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be looked at. * On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1 of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register, that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180 datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same calculation as done on rt2x00. Signed-off-by: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken. This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all those frames that need one except beacons. That means that if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing it need not worry about the sequence number. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routineLarry Finger2008-08-011-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users of the RTL8187B have experienced difficulties since commit 49292d56352a6ab90d04c3448dd8b6106dfef2d6 that introduced the power management wext hooks. This difficulty has not made much sense until it was realized that it was possible for mac80211 to make a call to the config routine while that routine was already being executed. On this device, it is necessary to loopback the TX when changing channels. Unless this is properly restored, the device will lockup. A mutex now protects the device state, and the private data in several places. The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br>, who also suggested this type of fix.

* rtl8187: Improve wireless statistics for RTL8187BLarry Finger2008-07-291-30/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wireless statistics produced by the RTL8187B driver are not particularly informative about the strength of the received signal. From the data sheet provided by Realtek, I discovered that certain parts of the RX header should have the information necessary to calculate signal quality and strength. With testing, it became clear that most of these quantities were very jittery - only the AGC correlated with the signals expected from nearby AP's. As a result, the quality and strength are derived from the agc value. The scaling has been determined so that the numbers are close to those obtained by b43 under the same conditions. The results are qualitatively correct. Statistics derived for the RTL8187 have not been changed. The RX header variables have been renamed to match the quantites described in the Realtek data sheet.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

* [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg2007-10-101-19/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
