2008-09-11p54: control output power levelsChristian Lamparter
I hope this patch is enough to cover at least the basic requirements of IEEE 802.11h's TPC. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11p54: add lots of useful rx/tx statisticsChristian Lamparter
The firmware can provide lots of useful statistics about noise floor, mac time and lots of numbers about successful transfers and dropped frames. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11p54: add more rx filtersChristian Lamparter
This patch adds new filters settings to make the card more useful in monitor mode. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Therefore if we want a useful timestamp we have to emulate the high bits. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-08p54: better firmware supportChristian Lamparter
This patch hopefully contains all necessary changes to support firmwares for all devices up to atleast 2.13.3.0. (or: LowerMAC Protocol Rev: 5.5 ) And this is a big win, since: * newer firmwares are more stable and reliable than the old ones. * no problems anymore with packages > 1399 octets (without lowering the MTU). * monitor mode finally works on USB for more than just a few seconds.

2008-09-08p54: set_filter refactoringChristian Lamparter
p54_set_filter has a way too many unnecessary "magic" parameters and values. This patch axes all superfluous parameters and gives most of the magic values appropriate names. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-05p54usb: support LM87 firmwaresChristian Lamparter
This patch adds the necessary changes to support LM87 firmwares. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-05p54: move eeprom code into common libraryChristian Lamparter
Both p54pci and p54usb uses a good chunk of device specific code to get the data from the device's eeprom into the drivers memory. So, this patch reduces the code size and will it make life easier if someone wants to implement ethtool eeprom dumping features.

2008-09-05p54: enhance firmware parser to reduce memory wasteChristian Lamparter
This patch greatly reduces one of biggest memory waste in the driver. The firmware headers provides the right values for extra head-/tailroom and mtu size which are usually much lower than the old hardcoded ones. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-29p54: redo queue numberingChr
The firmware supports 8 different queues and not only 4. So, let's make some room for further tasks (ap/adhoc support) in this area. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-22p54: rename prism54xyz -> p54xyzChristian Lamparter
It's been a long time, but fullmac prism54 driver is still around... I think we should rename every prism54* in order to avoid some confusion about "what is actually what" in the future ;-). Thanks-to: Maxi <maxi@daemonizer.de> Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-07p54: Fix for TX sequence number problemLarry Finger
Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed in the hardware state, not the vif state.

2008-08-04p54: Fix potential concurrent access to private dataLarry Finger
Experience with the rtl8187 driver has shown that mac80211 can make calls to the config callback routine in rapid succession. This patch creates a mutex that protects the private data in several of the routines called by mac80211. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-05-07mac80211: clean up get_tx_stats callbackJohannes Berg
The callback takes a ieee80211_tx_queue_stats with a contained array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take the array directly.
