2007-03-07[PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix bug in frequency to channel conversionJoerg Sommer
The frequency to channel routine in bcm43xx requires that the frequency be in MHz, but that condition is not always met. This patch does the necessary conversion.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-12-02[PATCH] ieee80211: Move IV/ICV stripping into ieee80211_rxDaniel Drake
This patch adds a host_strip_iv_icv flag to ieee80211 which indicates that ieee80211_rx should strip the IV/ICV/other security features from the payload. This saves on some memmove() calls in the driver and seems like something that belongs in the stack as it can be used by bcm43xx, ipw2200, and zd1211rw I will submit the ipw2200 patch separately as it needs testing. This patch also adds some sensible variable reuse (idx vs keyidx) in ieee80211_rx Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-12-02[PATCH] bcm43xx: output proper link quality with scansLarry Finger
The bcm43xx-softmac driver fails to set two quantities needed for iwlist to compute wireless quality when scanning. As a result, userland programs using the quality to determine the best connection fail. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx: Set floor of wireless signal and noise at -110 dBmLarry Finger
This patch sets the floor of wireless level (signal) and noise at -110 dBm, which makes them be comatible with RCPI, as discussed by Simon Barber. With this change, bcm43xx-softmac and bcm43xx-d80211 behave the same. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-07-27[PATCH] bcm43xx: improved statisticsLarry Finger
This minor patch for wireless-2.6 (softmac) adjusts the parameters of the wireless statistics to improve the display of programs such as the "Wireless Network Information" applet of KDE. Thanks to Dan Williams and Jean Tourrilhes for valuable help in setting up the return of info in dBm. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-07-10[PATCH] bcm43xx: improved statisticsLarry Finger
This patch improves the statistics returned from bcm43xx_get_wireless_stats. The signal level comes from smoothing the "rssi" value returned by the firmware after it is converted into a dBm value by the driver. The quality value is a hack derived from the smoothed level and an assumed RX_POWER_MAX of -10 dBM. The noise value is still the one calculated from the clean-room formula. On my system, this is roughly -65 dBm, which seems too high. The revised version uses the ieee80211 spinlock to protect traversing of the network list.

2006-07-05[PATCH] Convert bcm43xx-softmac to use the ieee80211_is_valid_channel routineLarry Finger
The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being converted to know about regulatory information.

2006-04-19[PATCH] bcm43xx: iw_priv_args names should be <16 charactersErik Mouw
The room for the names in bcm43xx_priv_wx_args[] are IFNAMSIZ long and IFNAMSIZ is defined as 16, so the names in bcm43xx_priv_wx_args should be 15 characters (16 including the trailing \0). This patch fixes that for the "set_shortpreambl", "get_shortpreambl", "set_swencryption", and "get_swencryption" private calls. Patch is against 2.6.17-rc1.
