* [CRYPTO] users: Use block ciphers where applicableHerbert Xu2006-09-211-10/+12
| | | | | | | | This patch converts all remaining users to use the new block cipher type where applicable. It also changes all simple cipher operations to use the new encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix of signal strength and quality measurementUlrich Kunitz2006-09-113-27/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Discovered a problem while accessing www.python.org on my PPC32. The problem was pretty consistent for all sticks. The reason was that while testing for the length info tag, I ignored the endianess of the host system. Please recognize that converting the constant to little endian, we create faster code.

| | | | | | | | | | When determining whether there's a key to set or not, orinoco should be looking at the key length, not the key data. Otherwise confusion reigns when trying to set TX key only, passing in zero-length key, but non-NULL pointer. Key length takes precedence over non-NULL key data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive calls into the driver) This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication challenge response frame from a workqueue entry. I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but not patched in.

* [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driverDaniel Drake2006-07-0522-0/+6911
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_padHerbert Xu2006-06-232-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still it's best if we don't do it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
