iwlwifi: split the drivers for agn and legacy devices 3945/4965

2011-02-21T19:27:26+00:00

Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko, and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko contains code shared between both devices. The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3 ABGN device. Signed-off-by: Meenakshi Venkataraman Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

iwlwifi: fix beacon notification parsing

2011-01-31T21:19:39+00:00

The beacon notification changed between 4965 and agn because the embedded TX response changed, but iwlwifi was never updated to know about this. Update it now so the IBSS manager status will be tracked correctly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

iwlwifi: check ucode loading error and restart

2011-01-31T21:17:28+00:00

Driver check alive message from ucode, if it is not ok, then need to restart the loading process. instead of checking multiple places for failure, only need to check in once place when receive alive message from uCode. Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing

2011-01-28T20:46:24+00:00

Mac80211 can request for tx power and channel change in one ->config call. If that happens, *_send_tx_power functions will try to setup tx power for old channel, what can be not correct because we already change the band. I.e error "Failed to get channel info for channel 140 [0]", can be printed frequently when operating in software scanning mode.

iwlwifi: fix 4965 notification wait setup

2011-01-21T20:32:21+00:00

The notification wait support code is shared between 4965 and other AGN devices, so 4965 also has to initialize the data structures for it, otherwise it crashes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

iwlwifi: don't read sku information from EEPROM for 4965

2011-01-21T20:05:57+00:00

For all the new devices, the sku information should read from EEPROM but for legacy devices such as 4965, appearly the EEPROM does not contain the necessary information. so skip the read from EEPROM and go back to use software configuration.

iwlwifi: jiffies based tx queues watchdog

2010-12-06T21:01:29+00:00

This patch replace monitor/recover timer by watchdog based on time stamp. New code allow to discover hangs more precisely. Timeout values are currently doubled monitoring period values of previous timer. This have to be tuned based of firmware timing capabilities. Tested on 3945, 4965, 5300, 6300.
