b43: move under broadcom vendor directory

Part of reorganising wireless drivers directory and Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

b43: report correct rate to mac80211 for 5 GHz packets

2014-07-23T17:08:35+00:00

So far we were assuming only A-PHY supports 5 GHz. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: fix frequency reported on G-PHY with /new/ firmware

2014-06-17T18:11:16+00:00

Support for firmware rev 508+ was added years ago, but we never noticed it reports channel in a different way for G-PHY devices. Instead of offset from 2400 MHz it simply passes channel id (AKA hw_value). So far it was (most probably) affecting monitor mode users only, but the following recent commit made it noticeable for quite everybody: commit 3afc2167f60a327a2c1e1e2600ef209a3c2b75b7 Author: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Tue Mar 4 16:50:13 2014 +0200 cfg80211/mac80211: ignore signal if the frame was heard on wrong channel Reported-by: Aaro Koskinen Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Aaro Koskinen Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: xmit: set 5 GHz bit depending on current band

2014-05-20T14:34:28+00:00

PHYs other than A may also work in 5 GHz mode. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

net: Replace min macro with min_t

2014-03-03T20:35:54+00:00

Instead of an explicit cast, use the min_t macro. Signed-off-by: Silvan Jegen Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: use kernel api to replace b43 specific helper function

2014-02-13T20:20:14+00:00

Use ieee80211_channel_to_frequency() to replace b43_channel_to_freq_{2,5}ghz(), and remove unused b43_freq_to_channel_{2,5}ghz(). Signed-off-by: ZHAO Gang Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: fix the wrong assignment of status.freq in b43_rx()

2014-01-23T19:02:45+00:00

Use the right function to update frequency value. If rx skb is probe response or beacon, the wrong frequency value can cause problem that bss info can't be updated when it should be.

net:drivers/net: Miscellaneous conversions to ETH_ALEN

2013-10-02T21:04:45+00:00

Convert the memset/memcpy uses of 6 to ETH_ALEN where appropriate. Also convert some struct definitions and u8 array declarations of [6] to ETH_ALEN. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Arend van Spriel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: support RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END

2012-11-13T20:43:55+00:00

Allow drivers to indicate their mactime is at RX completion and adjust for this in mac80211. Also rename the existing RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU to RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START to clarify its intent. Based on similar code by Johannes Berg. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen [fix docs, atheros drivers] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

b43: use temporary rate_index for error checking

2012-07-17T19:11:31+00:00

The mac80211 rate_index changed to be a u8, so can't hold the negative error value properly. Use a temporary variable for error checking. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
