| * [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix of signal strength and quality measurementUlrich Kunitz2006-09-111-15/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Caused by a documentation issue I mixed up fields of the zd_status structure. This patch fixes it and improves also the average computation, which is now using only measurements of packets sent by the access point.

* | [PATCH] zd1211rw: cleanupsUlrich Kunitz2006-08-141-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that. Also made some modifications to the clear functions: After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a minimum. A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing, but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have not been set. Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect path. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de> Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | [PATCH] zd1211rw: Support AL7230B RFDaniel Drake2006-08-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for another Airoha RF which is present in some ZD1211 adapters. This RF supports 802.11a as well as 802.11b/g, but 802.11a connectivity is not yet supported by this driver. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | [PATCH] zd1211rw: AL2230 ZD1211B vendor syncDaniel Drake2006-08-141-5/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch synchronizes our code to some recent vendor driver modifications. A new PHY layout is supported, some values are tweaked, and the AL2230 is now programmed over a new interface which is many times faster.

* | [PATCH] zd1211rw: Match vendor driver IFS valuesDaniel Drake2006-08-141-4/+7

* | [PATCH] zd1211rw: ZD1211B ASIC/FWT, not jointly decoderDaniel Drake2006-08-141-1/+1

* [PATCH] zd1211rw: Packet filter fix for managed (STA) modeUlrich Kunitz2006-08-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | I had problems with my AVM Fritz!Box access point. It appeared that the AP deauthorized me and the softmac didn't reconnect me. This patch handles the problem. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@deine-taler.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driverDaniel Drake2006-07-051-0/+1615
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS ZD1211 chip. Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed products which we will be supporting soon. Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision, but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them. This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw. ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have provided device specs. This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks! We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in 2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master mode, 802.11a, ...). Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
