Some hardware, for example wl1251 and wl1271, handle the transmission of power save related frames in hardware, but the driver is responsible for creating the templates. It's better to create the templates in mac80211, that way all drivers can benefit from this. Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get() which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible for updating the templates after each association. Also new struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr is added to ieee80211.h to make it easy to calculate length of the Nullfunc frame. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Add a new NL80211_CMD_SET_TX_BITRATE_MASK command and related attributes to provide support for setting TX rate mask for rate control. This uses the existing cfg80211 set_bitrate_mask operation that was previously used only with WEXT compat code (SIOCSIWRATE). The nl80211 command allows more generic configuration of allowed rates as a mask instead of fixed/max rate.

Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting which rates can be used in TX rate control. Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled. The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be removed.

If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate (e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only devices. In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before association). Change this to take into account the basic rate configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.

Make addba_resp_timer aware the HT_AGG_STATE_REQ_STOP_BA_MSK mask so that when ___ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session() is issued the timer will quit. Otherwise when suspend happens before the timer expired, the timer handler will be called immediately after resume and messes up driver status.

The callback sets slot time as specified in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 (for 20MHz channels only for now) and raises ACK and CTS timeouts accordingly. The values are persistent, they are restored after device reset. Signed-off-by: Lukas Turek <8an@praha12.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes. The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

Functions ath5k_hw_get_slot_time and ath5k_hw_set_slot_time were converting microseconds to clocks only for AR5210, although it's needed for all supported devices. The conversion was moved outside the hardware-specific branches. The original code also limited minimum slot time to 9, while turbo modes use 6, this was fixed too.

The new attribute NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS sets IEEE 802.11 Coverage Class, which depends on maximum distance of nodes in a wireless network. It's required for long distance links (more than a few hundred meters). The attribute is now ignored by two non-mac80211 drivers, rndis and iwmc3200wifi, together with WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_SHORT and WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_LONG. If it turns out to be a problem, we could split set_wiphy_params callback or add new capability bits. Signed-off-by: Lukas Turek <8an@praha12.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature as this has been tested properly. For more details on this issue see the bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267 We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require some more work.

The start_seq_num is taken from the station's tid_seq[tid]. This is fine, except tid_seq sequence counter is shifted by 4 bits to accommodate for frame fragmentation. Both (iwlagn & ath9k) were unaffected by this minor glitch, because they don't read the *ssn for the AMPDU_TX_START action.

Previously, mwl8k_bss_info_changed() would refuse to do anything if the 'changed' argument indicated that the association status hadn't changed. Fix this up so that it will allow changing things like the preamble type, the slot time and the CTS-to-self protection method without having to reassociate.

For STA firmware, move the per-peer hardware station ID to the driver-private part of struct ieee80211_sta, where it belongs. (Since issuing a hardware station database maintenance command sleeps, we can't hold a reference to the ieee80211_sta * across the command, and since we won't know the station ID until after the command completes, we need to re-lookup the sta when the command is done to write the returned station ID back to its driver-private part.)

Setting the mac address from user space was buggy. For example, when executing this command: ip link set wlan0 address 00:1f:df:88:cd:55 mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two bytes. The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to ieee80211_change_mac() is actually of type struct sockaddr, not just the mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to be struct sockaddr. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Commit 250cce26 uses UTS_RELEASE as the the in-tree iwlwifi driver version. However the inclusion of generated/utsrelease.h makes it a unpleasant behaviour to recompile the driver everytime when utsrelease.h is updated. In fact, the driver module is already built with the UTS_RELEASE information via vermagic of modinfo. Mark the in-tree driver with the version string "in-tree" to distinguish with those old out-of-tree drivers.
