This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values can be written into this file to change PS mode: 0 = power save disabled (constantly awake) 1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll) 2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented 3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame) Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested: - move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a time) - move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps' debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a time Mode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a traffic bit is set for our AID.

With the addition of basic rate set and TX queue parameter configuration and confirmation that power save buffering is working again, mac80211 is now in state that allows AP mode to be used without major problems. Consequently, it is time to allow this mode to be enabled without having to patch the kernel. AP mode requires hostapd for management frame processing and as such, configuring this mode is only allowed through cfg80211 (not with iwconfig and WEXT).

Add a new attribute, NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TXQ_PARAMS, that can be used with NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY for userspace (e.g., hostapd) to set TX queue parameters (txop, cwmin, cwmax, aifs). Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

skb->tail can't be meant here because it's not the same across 32/64 bit compilations. This means there's no way the current driver can work on 64-bit architectures.

mac80211 supports multiple virtual interfaces for a single device. For example, a managed interface (wlan0) and a monitor interface (mon0) can exist at the same time. Thus priv->iw_mode is not sufficient to track the wireless mode any more. The patch redefines priv->iw_mode as the first interface mode (the same as priv->vif->type if priv->vif != NULL). If another monitor type interface is created later, we don't change priv->iw_mode into monitor. This way, the original interface still works. The patch also requests mac80211 to do reassociation after we change the Rx filter flags.

Routine rtl8225_write() calls either rtl8225_write_bitbang() or rtl8225_write_8051(), both of which end with an msleep() command. As a result, a rtl8225_write() immediately followed by an msleep() is not needed.

Implement latest changed from mac80211 configuration handling to optmize configuration handling in rt2x00. * Remove set_retry_limit callback function, handled through config() * Move config_antenna to its own callback function, it isn't handled by mac80211 anymore * Use IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGED_* flags and remove manual checks * Removed deprecated short slot setting through config() and put it in config_erp() through which mac80211 now configures it * Remove config_phymode() and move contents to config_erp() since it only managed the basic rates which is now determined by mac80211 through config_erp().
