      mac80211: revamp beacon configuration · 9d139c81
      Johannes Berg authored 
      This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

      mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units · 566bfe5a
      Bruno Randolf authored 
      trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

      mac80211: QoS related cleanups · e100bb64
      Johannes Berg authored 
      This
 * makes the queue number passed to drivers a u16
   (as it will be with skb_get_queue_mapping)
 * removes the useless queue number defines
 * splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
 * removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters
 * removes some dead QoS code
 * removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
   so that the drivers now never get a queue number
   bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
   for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
   conf_tx.

      b43legacy: fix suspend/resume · ada50731
      Stefano Brivio authored 
      This patch makes suspend/resume work with the b43legacy driver.
We must not overwrite the MAC addresses in the init function, as this
would also overwrite the MAC on resume. With an all-zero MAC the device
firmware is not able to ACK any received packets anymore.
Fix this by moving the initializion stuff that must be done on init but
not on resume to the start function.
Also zero out filter_flags to make sure we don't have some flags
from a previous instance for a tiny timeframe until mac80211 reconfigures
them.

This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.
