2009-07-24mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decisionLuis R. Rodriguez
All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211 for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code. Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

2009-07-24mac80211: monitor the connectionJohannes Berg
With the recent MLME rework I accidentally removed the connection monitoring code. In order to add it back, this patch will add new code to monitor both for beacon loss and for the connection actually working, with possibly separate triggers. When no unicast frames have been received from the AP for (currently) two seconds, we will send the AP a probe request. Also, when we don't see beacons from the AP for two seconds, we do the same (but those times need not be the same due to the way the code is now written). Additionally, clean up the parameters to the ieee80211_set_disassoc() function that I need here, those are all useless except sdata.

2009-07-24cfg80211: rework key operationJohannes Berg
This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.
