| * {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Allow user to see/configure HT protection modeAshok Nagarajan2012-05-082-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * cfg80211: fix BSS comparisonEmmanuel Grumbach2012-05-081-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the BSS table is organized in a RB tree, the BSSs need to be comparable. This means that we must define a < and > operator to the BSS object. compare_ethr_addr isn't enough since it returns only a binary value. Since Felix's cfg80211: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> The BSS table is corrupted: rb_find_bss can't find the bss. As a result BSSes are duplicated in the BSS table, and we get stuck while probing an AP before associating (in STA mode).

* cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg2012-02-064-318/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

| | | | | | | | | 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.

If Power Constraint is presented, the local maximum power equals to the maximum allowed power defined in regulatory domain minus power constraint. The maximum transmit power is maximum power a wireless device capable of transmitting, and should be used in Power Capability element (7.3.2.16 IEEE802.11 2007). The transmit power from a wireless device should not greater than the local maximum transmit power.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch to validate station flags broke compatibility with the old station flags setting where all flags are always set at once since it always set the mask as all possible flags which ended up being rejected later in the station add/modify code. Fix by parsing only the current flags in the old flags attribute -- new applications and new flags should use (and will now require) the new flags attribute where the mask is given by the application.

Although I am %82.89 owner of the regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased entities: o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0] - Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> - Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2] - ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com - kalle.valo@nokia.com Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled, "wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as uncopyrightable. As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia my contact point was Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@nokia.com> but after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing their contributions in previous patches. The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with the regulatory simulator [3].
