2009-01-29b43: Automatically probe for opensource firmwareMichael Buesch
First probe for proprietary firmware and then probe for opensource firmware. This way around it's a win-win situation. 1) If proprietary fw is available, it will work. 2) If opensource firmware is available, but no proprietary (Distros can only ship open fw) it might work. 3) If both open and proprietary are available, it will work, because it selects the proprietary. We currently don't prefer the open fw in this case, because it doesn't work on all devices. It would introduce a regression otherwise. The remaining FIXMEs in this patch are harmless, because they only matter on multiband devices, which are not implemented yet anyway.

2009-01-29wireless: restrict to 32 legacy ratesJohannes Berg
Since the standards only define 12 legacy rates, 32 is certainly a sane upper limit and we don't need to use u64 everywhere. Add sanity checking that no more than 32 rates are registered and change the variables to u32 throughout. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-01-29b43: Eliminate compilation warning in b43_op_set_keyLarry Finger
A recent pull from wireless testing generates the following warning: CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.o drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c: In function ‘b43_op_set_key’: drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c:3636: warning: pointer type mismatch in conditional expression This fix was suggested by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>.

2009-01-29mac80211: clean up set_key callbackJohannes Berg
The set_key callback now seems rather odd, passing a MAC address instead of a station struct, and a local address instead of a vif struct. Change that.

2009-01-29b43: Change schedule for old-fw support removalMichael Buesch
The scheduled date for the removal of old fw support was in July 2008. However, we're not going to remove the support unless it causes a major headache. So change the schedule from "July 2008" to "when it causes headaches". Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-01-29b43/ssb: Add SPROM8 extraction and LP-PHY detectionMichael Buesch

2009-01-29b43: Use 64bit atomic register access for TSFMichael Buesch
On modern b43 devices with core rev >=3, the hardware guarantees us an atomic 64bit read/write of the TSF, if we access the lower 32bits first. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-01-29b43: Fixup set_key handlingMichael Buesch
This fixes the key handling for mac80211's new key->flags. It also adds TX locking to the set_key handler and adds a comment why this is required. This doesn't fix any known bugs. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-12-19b43: Suspend MAC while killing the radioMichael Buesch
We should suspend the MAC, before we kill the radio. This gives the MAC a chance to leave any TX/RX state and it avoids races on the PHY/RADIO registers. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-12-19b43: Fix some MAC lockingMichael Buesch
This fixes some locking w.r.t. the lower MAC (firmware). It also removes a lot of ancient IRQ-locking that's not needed anymore. We simply suspend the MAC. That's easier and causes less trouble. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-11-21b43: remove rate index warningJohannes Berg
I frequently run into this warning, and added some debugging to see why, and got this: b43 bad rx: 00000000: 2f d2 e2 63 cf a7 14 04 28 18 c8 5f 88 4a a2 00 bogus junk | plcp | fctl| dur b43 bad rx: 00000010: 00 11 24 91 07 4d 00 06 25 ff 8f 78 00 06 25 ff my MAC address | BSSID | AP MAC b43 bad rx: 00000020: 8f 76 20 74 00 00 42 07 00 20 00 00 00 00 aa aa | seq | QoS | CCMP IV | data ...

2008-11-10b43/legacy: remove SSID codeJohannes Berg
The SSID programmed into the device is used by the ucode only to reply to probe requests, a functionality we disable anyway because it doesn't fit with the mac80211/hostapd programming model. Therefore, it isn't useful to program the SSID into device. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-10-31mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

2008-10-31mac80211: introduce hw config change flagsJohannes Berg
This makes mac80211 notify the driver which configuration actually changed, e.g. channel etc. No driver changes, this is just plumbing, driver authors are expected to act on this if they want to. Also remove the HW CONFIG debug printk, it's incorrect, often we configure something else. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-08-29b43: Rewrite TX power adjustmentMichael Buesch
This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better with changed enviromnent. If there's low TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values every 60 seconds. If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less. It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
