* {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Allow user to see/configure HT protection modeAshok Nagarajan2012-05-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new mesh configuration parameter "ht_opmode" and will allow user to check the current HT protection mode selected. Users could configure the protection mode by the command "iw mesh_iface set mesh_param mesh_ht_protection_mode=2". The default protection mode of mesh is set to non-HT mixed mode.

* {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peeringAshok Nagarajan2012-03-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range. This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold. This feature is supported only for hardwares that report signal in dBm.

* {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Add support of setting non-forwarding entity in MeshChun-Yeow Yeoh2012-01-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | A mesh node that joins the mesh network is by default a forwarding entity. This patch allows the mesh node to set as non-forwarding entity. Whenever dot11MeshForwarding is set to 0, the mesh node can prevent itself from forwarding the traffic which is not destined to him.

* nl80211: New notification to discover mesh peer candidates.Javier Cardona2011-04-121-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | Notify userspace when a beacon/presp is received from a suitable mesh peer candidate for whom no sta information exists. Userspace can then decide to create a sta info for the candidate. If userspace is not ready to authenticate the peer right away, it can create the sta info with the authenticated flag unset and set it later.

* cfg80211/nl80211: Add userspace authentication flag to mesh setupJavier Cardona2011-04-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | During mesh setup, use NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AUTH flag to create a secure mesh and route management frames to userspace. Also, NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY now returns a flag NL80211_SUPPORT_MESH_AUTH if the wiphy's mesh implementation supports routing of mesh auth frames to userspace. This is useful for forward compatibility between old kernels and new userspace tools.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace will now be allowed to toggle between the default path selection algorithm (HWMP, implemented in the kernel), and a vendor specific alternative. Also in the same patch, allow userspace to add information elements to mesh beacons. This is accordance with the Extensible Path Selection Framework specified in version 7.0 of the 802.11s draft.

* cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg2010-12-061-0/+140
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.
