rt2800: fix assigning same WCID for different stations

2015-06-15T10:13:50+00:00

On some hardware reading WCID entries table results getting 0xff numbers, no matter of value written there before. This cause assigning the same WCID for different stations and makes not possible to connect to more than one station. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC

2015-04-24T09:14:13+00:00

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

rt2x00: use helper to check capability/requirement

2015-01-07T08:41:42+00:00

Use rt2x00_has_cap_flag macro to check rt2x00dev->cap_flags. Signed-off-by: Fred Chou Acked-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mac80211: allow drivers to support NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR

2014-11-19T17:46:09+00:00

Allow drivers to support NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR with software based scanning and generate a random MAC address for them for every scan request with the flag. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-07-03 Please pull this first batch of wireless updates intended for the 3.17 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "The biggest thing here is probably Arik's TDLS rework, beyond that we have smaller improvements and features like David's scanning IE thing, Luca's queue work, some CSA work, etc. Also your PID rate control removal, of course." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I have here a whole bunch of various things. Andy contributes better debug prints for dvm specific flows and a module parameter to completely disable power save for dvm. Andrei is sharing the premises of his work on CSA - more to come. Eran and Liad keep on working on the new devices. I have the regular amount of BT Coex stuff and I continue to work on the firmware error report system adding more debug capabilities. More to come on that subject too." On top of that, there are some cleanups to the new rsi driver, some continuing improvements to the rtl818x drivers, and the usual bundles of updates to ath9k, b43, mwifiex, wil6210, and a few other bits here and there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

rt2x00: change order when stop beaconing

2014-06-19T19:49:15+00:00

When no beaconing is needed, first stop beacon queue (disable beaconing globally) to avoid possible sending of not prepared beacon on short period after clearing beacon and before stop of BCN queue. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

rt2x00: change beaconing locking

2014-06-19T19:49:14+00:00

This patch is needed for further changes to keep global variables consistent when changing beaconing on diffrent vif's. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

net: wireless: rt2x00: rt2x00mac.c: Cleaning up uninitialized variables

2014-06-19T19:49:14+00:00

There is a risk that the variable will be used without being initialized. This was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck. Signed-off-by: Rickard Strandqvist Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

rt2x00: disable TKIP on USB

2014-06-16T15:23:33+00:00

On USB we can not get atomically TKIP key. We have to disable support for TKIP acceleration on USB hardware to avoid bug as showed bellow.
