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: remove unnecessary locking

2011-02-06T17:30:54+00:00

This code, and the places that set the variable is_internal_short_scan and the vif pointers are all protected by the mutex, there's no point in locking the spinlock here as well (any more). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

iwlwifi: support RSN IBSS

2011-01-31T21:19:14+00:00

In order to support RSN IBSS, we need to (ok actually maybe it's just easiest to) disable group key programming so that any group-addressed frames will be decrypted in software which handles the per-station keys for this easily. We could keep the encryption in the device, but that takes more work and seems unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

iwl3945: do not use agn specific IWL_RATE_COUNT

2011-01-31T20:06:21+00:00

Only use IWL_RATE_COUNT_3945 in 3945 code. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Wey-Yi Guy Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

iwl3945: set STATUS_READY before commit_rxon

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

Similar change as we already do for agn, need to avoid "Error setting Tx power (-5)" message when loading module. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Wey-Yi Guy Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

iwlwifi: use mac80211 throughput trigger

2011-01-21T23:26:39+00:00

Instead of keeping track of LED blink speed in the driver, use the new mac80211 trigger and link it up with an LED classdev that we now register. This also allows users more flexibility in how they want to have the LED blink or not. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy

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.

iwl3945: prevent too frequent firmware resets

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

Similarly like on iwlagn, initialize reset duration on iwl3945 to prevent too frequent firmware resets. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Wey-Yi Guy Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
