mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

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

zd1211rw: slight optimization of addr compare

2013-12-26T18:31:33+00:00

Use possibly more efficient ether_addr_equal instead of memcmp. Cc: Daniel Drake Cc: Ulrich Kunitz Cc: "John W.

zd1211rw: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-11T15:56:19+00:00

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

mac80211: Use a cfg80211_chan_def in ieee80211_hw_conf_chan

2013-03-25T18:19:35+00:00

Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel, nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local. Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan [fix kernel-doc] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

zd1211rw: enable support for MFP

2012-09-11T19:13:50+00:00

zd1211rw lacks hardware encryption, so enabling 802.11w is only matter of enabling IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE flag. Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: move TX station pointer and restructure TX

2012-07-31T14:18:39+00:00

Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming Transmit Power Control (TPC). Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

zd1211rw: wait between setting hash table and powering radio on

2012-02-29T19:11:32+00:00

I am running Debian testing kernel 3.1.0-1-amd64, using a 079b:0062 Sagem XG-76NA 802.11bg stick. Upon zd1211rw interface bringup (ifconfig wlan0 up) I get the following timeout: [ 950.330573] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: phy2 [ 955.108510] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: firmware version 4725 [ 955.148532] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: zd1211b chip 079b:0062 v4810 high 00-19-70 AL2230_RF pa0 g--NS [snip] [ 955.204072] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: error ioread32(CR_REG1): -110 A second ifconfig wlan0 up brings the interface up without problems. After a bit more debugging, the call trace is the following: [10241.028130] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: zd_chip_lock_phy_regs: error ioread32(CR_REG1): -110 [10241.028140] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: zd_switch_radio_on: failed to lock PHY regs [10241.028148] zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: zd_op_start: failed to set radio on Adding a 10 milliseconds delay between the call to set_mc_hash() and zd_chip_switch_radio_on() allows successful interface bringups in all cases and matches what the vendor driver did.
