The channel changing code would a) change the BSSID to a dummy on upon
channel change, breaking connectivity, and b) not update the channel number
at all for ad-hoc, breaking adhoc.

Currently the PSM entry function assumes successful operation, and enables
ELP, BET and beacon filtering right away. This is bad, because the PSM
entry may fail due to environmental issues, which will cause the ELP, BET and
beacon filtering to be illegally enabled (because FW remains in active state.)
Fix this by enabling ELP, BET and beacon filtering only after successful entry,
and by ensuring the firmware is in active mode after the failure.

In wireless-testing, commit 7044cc56 added struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr
to include/linux/ieee80211.h. This definition collides with one that is
in the rtl8192su driver in staging.
The conflict is resolved by changing rtl8192su
to use the definition from include/linux/ieee80211.h.

The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:
Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.
Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

...and use it in hostap_cs and orinoco_cs.
Another PCMCIA device with Intersil Prism chipset has been reported:
Socket 0:
product info: "Gigabyte", "GN-WLM01_P25L_ADAPTER", "ISL37300P", "Eval-RevA"
manfid: 0x02e0, 0x1011
function: 6 (network)
As it's the case with some other Prism based devices, the third ID
string contains a design name that should be sufficient to identify the
card as having Intersil Prism chipset and thus compatible with both
orinoco_cs and hostap_cs.
Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 that matches the third ID string only.
Use it in orinoco_cs and hostap_cs to match cards with the third ID
string indicating Prism chipset. Remove corresponding entries that use
PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123.

Currently, ieee80211_drop_unencrypted is called
from management and data frame context, and the
different contexts pass different frames. This
could lead to it processing an 802.3 frame as an
802.11 frame when MFP is enabled.
Move the MFP part of ieee80211_drop_unencrypted
into a new function that is only called for mgmt
frames.

This implements a new command to register for action frames
that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.
Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.
Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

802.11-2007 7.3.1.11 mandates that we need to
reject action frames we don't handle by setting
the 0x80 bit in the category and returning them
to the sender, so do that. In AP mode, hostapd
is responsible for this.
Additionally, drop completely malformed action
frames or ones that should've been encrypted as
unusable, userspace shouldn't see those.

Support for rt30xx- and rt35xx-based devices is currently not functional
in rt2800pci and rt2800usb.
In order to not confuse users we shouldn't claim the PCI and USB device
ID's for these devices. However, to allow for testing it is good to still
have them available, although disabled by default.
Make support for these device configuration options that default to off.
For rt2800usb a 3rd class of devices is added, which are the unknown
devices. For these devices it is known that they are either based on
rt28xx, rt30xx or rt35xx, but it is not known on what chipset exactly.
These devices are disabled by default as well, until it can be established
on what chipset exactly they are based.

Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke
association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout
value from the initvals with a smaller value.
I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval
there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the
problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered. The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware. If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.

To ensure that card is in a sane state during probe we add a reset call.
This change was prompted by users of kdump who was not able to bring up the
wireless driver in the kdump kernel. The problem here was that the primary
kernel, which is not running at the time, left the wireless card up and
running. When the kdump kernel starts it is thus possible to immediately
receive interrupts from firmware after registering interrupt, but without
being ready to deal with interrupts from firmware yet.

There is a problem if an "internal short scan" is in progress when a
mac80211 requested scan arrives. If this new scan request arrives within
the "next_scan_jiffies" period then driver will immediately return success
and complete the scan. The problem here is that the scan has not been
fully initialized at this time (is_internal_short_scan is still set to true
because of the currently running scan), which results in the scan
completion never to be sent to mac80211. At this time also, evan though the
internal short scan is still running the state (is_internal_short_scan)
will be set to false, so when the internal scan does complete then mac80211
will receive a scan completion.
Fix this by checking right away if a scan is in progress when a scan
request arrives from mac80211.

The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there
is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered
even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on.
This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon
to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles.
Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every
data packet.
