Previously ath9k left the initialization of slot timing and ACK/CTS timeout to the mode specific initvals. This does not handle short vs long slot in 2.4 GHz and uses a rather strange value for the 2.4 GHz ACK timeout (64 usec). This patch uses the proper ath9k_hw functions for setting slot time and timeouts and also implements the switch between short and long slot time in 2.4 GHz Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

Normally 5GHz does not have a concept of long vs short slot time, however the slot time that it ends up using is the same as for 2.4 GHZ and use_short_slot == true Because of that, it makes more sense to force use_short_slot = true whenever 5 GHz is being used, so that this particular check does not have to be in every single driver that uses this flag.

In practice APs do not send country IE channel triplets for channels the AP is not operating on and if they were to do so they would have to use the regulatory extension which we currently do not process. No AP has been seen in practice that does this though so just drop those country IEs. Additionally it has been noted the first series of country IE channels triplets are specific to the band the AP sends. Propagate the band on which the country IE was found on reject the country IE then if the triplets are ever oustide of the band. Although we now won't process country IE information with multiple band information we leave the intersection work as is as it is technically possible for someone to want to eventually process these type of country IEs with regulatory extensions.

When ieee80211_offchannel_return is called, it needs to re-enabled TX queues that have been stopped in ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing or ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station. It happens if we are doing a scan with an IBSS interface. In this case, the interface stopped transmitting. Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W.

In wireless-testing, commit 7044cc56 added struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr to include/linux/ieee80211.h. This definition collides with one that is in the r8187se driver in staging. The conflict is resolved by changing r8187se to use the definition from include/linuc/ieee80211.h. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Previous to this and the last patch, titled, "cfg80211: Fix 2 GHz subband calculation for country IEs" we would end up treating these IEs as single channel units. These are in fact just bogus IE triplets so ignore the entire IE if these are found. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In f41f3f37 the B43 driver was ported to use the cfg80211 API for rfkill and consequently the config option was dropped (RFKILL is now unconditionally enabled). However in the Kernel Info the feature is still checked and reported missing. This patch just removes the conditional and the relevant code blocks while still reporting that feature unconditionally would be another option (it's always there).

Country IEs triplets are getting an extra channel with the current count. This does not affect regulatory because we always took the intersection between what the AP gave and what CRDA believed is correct. This however does fix processing some Country IEs with multiple sequential 2 GHz triplets. Since our parser and the spec mandates all channels be monitonically increasing we would drop the IE after noticing the second triplet begins on a channel already processed. APs that send these type of country IEs seems rare though. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

As follows: - GET_HW_SPEC is now responsible for setting priv->{ap,sta}_macids_supported, which are bitmasks of supported macids for AP and STA mode. (Typically, STA firmware images will support only one macid, #0, in STA mode, and AP firmware images will support macids #0-7, in AP mode.) - Our wiphy ->interfaces_modes is now set based on the non-zero-ness of these two bitmasks. - We main priv->macids_used, a bitmask of which macids are currently in use. ->add_interface() will assign the lowest free macid for this interface type as it is created, or bail out if there are no more free macids to assign. ->delete_interface() will mark the macid as being free again. This enables the multi-BSS code added in the previous commits. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

SET_BEACON, SET_MAC_ADDR, BSS_START and SET_NEW_STN are the currently supported firmware commands that are actually per-vif commands. Use mwl8k_post_pervif_cmd() for these commands, so that the macid of the vif they operate on gets passed down into the firmware.

One of the bytes in the mwl8k firmware command header is the 'macid' byte, which for per-vif commands indicates which of the BSSes this command is intended for. (For commands that are not per-vif commands, this byte can just be 0.) This patch adds mwl8k_post_pervif_cmd(), which will take the macid assigned to this interface (to be done in ->add_interface()), copy it into the command packet macid field, and post the command as usual.

Whenever mac80211 gives us a legacy rate bitmap in the context of the 5 GHz band, we need to remember to shift the bitmap left by 5 positions before giving it to the firmware, as the firmware follows the bitmap bit assignment of the 2.4 GHz rate table even if we're on the 5 GHz band, and the 2.4 GHz rate table includes five non-OFDM rates at the start that are not valid in the 5 GHz band.

The mwl8k firmware uses indices into the 2.4 GHz band rate table for the receive descriptor channel field even if the packet was received on a 5 GHz channel, while mac80211 expects an index into the 5 GHz band rate table when packets are received on the 5 GHz band, which presents a mismatch as the 5 GHz band rate table lacks the five non-OFDM rates that the 2.4 GHz rate table starts with. To handle this properly, we need to substract 5 from the rate index field if the packet was received on a 5 GHz channel (and was not received at an MCS rate).

To make U-APSD client mode effective, we must not wake up from dynamic power save when transmitting frames. So if dynamic power save is enabled, it needs check the queue the transmitted packet is in and decide if we need to wake up or not. In a perfect world, where all packets would have correct QoS tags, U-APSD enabled queues should not trigger wakeup from power save. But in the real world, where very few packets have correct QoS tags, this won't work. For example, if only voip class has U-APSD enabled and we send a packet in voip class, but the packets we receive are in best effort class, we would receive the packets with the legacy power save method. And that would increase latencies too much from a voip application point of view. The workaround is to enable U-APSD for all qeueus and still use dynamic ps wakeup for all other queues except voip. That way we can still save power with a voip application and not sacrifice latency. Normal traffic (in background, best effort or video class) would still trigger wakeup from dynamic power save.

Currently dynamic ps check is in ieee80211_xmit(), but it's cleaner to have a separate tx handler for this. Also this is a prerequisite for U-APSD client mode which needs to know the queue frame is in. Also need_dynamic_ps() function is embedded to the tx handler. No functional changes expect that the code is run in a later phase than originally. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
