2006-09-11[PATCH] bcm43xx: ucode debug status via sysfsLarry Finger
This patch prints out the ucode debug status to sysfs. So, users can watch the microcode status of their hardware. Signed-off-by: Martin Langer <martin-langer@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-09-11[PATCH] bcm43xx: Add firmware version printoutLarry Finger
This patch prints microcode revision, patchlevel, date and time to KERN_INFO. Also, version 4.xx microcodes (rev>0x128) will be rejected by the driver, because they still do not work.

2006-09-11[PATCH] bcm43xx: remove dead statistics codeLarry Finger
This patch removes code that was make obsolete when the wireless statistics in bcm43xx-softmac were changed, but was overlooked at that time. The value of bcm->stats.link_quality computed here is never used. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-09-11[PATCH] bcm43xx-softmac: Init, shutdown and restart fixesLarry Finger
This fixes various bugs in the init and shutdown code that would lead to lockups and crashes. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
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>
2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx - set correct value in mac_suspended for ifdown/ifup sequenceLarry Finger
When bcm43xx-softmac is given an ifdown/ifup sequence, the value for bcm->mac_suspended ends up wrong, which leads to a large number of assert(bcm->mac_suspended>=0) messages. This one-line patch fixes this problem. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx: optimization of DMA bitfieldsLarry Finger
Convert the bitfields in the bcm43xx DMA code to properly aligned u8 booleans. These flags are accessed in the DMA hotpath, so it's a good idea to waste a few bytes of memory for the sake of speed by not requiring masking (and probably shifting) of the bitfields.

2006-08-29[PATCH] bcm43xx: >1G and 64bit DMA supportMichael Buesch
This is a rewrite of the bcm43xx DMA engine. It adds support for >1G of memory (for chips that support the extension bits) and 64-bit DMA (for chips that support it). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> 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>
2006-07-27[PATCH] bcm43xx: init routine rewriteMichael Buesch
Rewrite of the bcm43xx initialization routines. This fixes several issues: * up-down-up-down-up... stale data issue (May fix some DHCP issues) * Fix the init vs IRQ handler race (and remove the workaround) * Fix init for cards with multiple cores (APHY) As softmac has no internal PHY handling (unlike dscape), this adds the file "phymode" to sysfs. The active PHY can be selected by writing either a, b or g to this file. Current PHY can be determined by reading from it. * Fix the controller restart code. Controller restart can now also be triggered through echo 1 > /debug/bcm43xx/ethX/restart Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-07-27[PATCH] bcm43xx: suspend MAC while executing long pworkMichael Buesch
Suspend MAC (and make MAC-suspend refcounting) when doing long periodic work. On long periodic work, we disable IRQs on the device, so we don't want the MAC to stay operating and probably miss packets due do non-delivery of interrupts.

2006-07-27[PATCH] softmac: do shared key auth in workqueueDaniel Drake
Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive calls into the driver) This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication challenge response frame from a workqueue entry. I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but not patched in.

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.

2006-07-10[PATCH] bcm43xx: voluntary preemtion in the calibration loopsMichael Buesch
This patch adds voluntary preemption points into the PHY calibration loops to allow non-CONFIG_PREEMPT machines to not suffer from huge delays. CONFIG_PREEMPT machines are already fine, because all this code is run in non-atomic process context. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-07-10[PATCH] bcm43xx: opencoded lockingMichael Buesch

2006-07-10[PATCH] bcm43xx-softmac: Fix an off-by-one condition in handle_irq_noiseLarry Finger
An assert statement near the start of handle_irq_noise in the softmac version of bcm43xx_main.c is there to protect against out of bound addressing using variable bcm->noisecalc.nr_samples. The arrays in question have a dimension of 8, thus the value must be < 8. Signed-Off-By: Larry.Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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.

2006-07-05[PATCH] bcm43xx: workaround init_board vs. IRQ raceMichael Buesch
Place the Init-vs-IRQ workaround before any card register access, because we might not have the wireless core mapped at all times in init. So this will result in a Machine Check caused by a bus error. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-07-03kbuild: introduce utsrelease.hSam Ravnborg
include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when kernel was compiled as part of a git repository. This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1. Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files. Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-05-05[PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix array overrun in bcm43xx_geo_initMichael Buesch
The problem here is that the bcm34xx driver and the ieee80211 stack do not agree on what channels are possible for 802.11a. The ieee80211 stack only wants channels between 34 and 165, while the bcm43xx driver accepts anything from 0 to 200. I made the bcm43xx driver comply with the ieee80211 stack expectations, by using the proper constants.
