2008-02-29rt2x00: Cleanup mode registrationIvo van Doorn
Don't wildly pass any number for num_rates to rt2x00lib, instead pass which type of rates are supported (CCK, OFDM). Same for num_modes but then for the 2GHZ and 5GHZ band. This makes the interface look much nicer and makes extending it later easier. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-29rt2x00: Make use of MAC80211_LED_TRIGGERSIvo van Doorn
Make use of the led triggers provided by mac80211 to control the led status. This can be enabled through a per-driver configuration option which will automatically enable the generic handler in rt2x00lib. This has been enabled for rt2500usb and rt73usb for the moment since the led class will call set_brightness in irq context which will not work correctly with the usb drivers who need to sleep.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Rate structure overhaulIvo van Doorn
Recent changes to the rate structure registration broke rt2x00, the hw_value was reduced from 32bits to 16bits while rt2x00 used the full 32bits. However the way rt2x00 used the value was inflexible and needed to be changed anyway. This patch creates a array containing information for each rate, the hw_value passed to mac80211 is the index value for that array including a field to indicate if short preamble should be enabled.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Add per-interface structureIvo van Doorn
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically. Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific. Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support: rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support will be very unlikely. Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry, with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master mode interfaces are currently active. The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are often called together since they all belong to the interface configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up the configuration handler as well. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Queue handling overhaulIvo van Doorn
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also renames "ring" to "queues". Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header, use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation. Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing system of the queue. Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data, this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves code readability. rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific structure. rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames, since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO. Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect beacon handling or beacon related code. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28rt2x00: Move start() and stop() handlers into rt2x00lib.cIvo van Doorn
suspend & resume was broken since it called rt2x00mac_start() and rt2x00mac_stop() which would fail to execute because the DEVICE_PRESENT flag was not set. Move the start and stop handlers into rt2x00lib.c which are called from rt2x00mac_start() and rt2x00mac_stop() after they have checked the DEVICE_PRESENT flag, while suspend and resume handlers can directly call those functions.

2008-01-28rt2x00: Add TX/RX frame dumping facilityIvo van Doorn
This adds TX/RX frame dumping capabilities through debugfs. The intention is that with this approach debugging of rt2x00 is simplified since _all_ frames going in and out of the device are send to debugfs as well along with additional information like the hardware descriptor. Based on the patch by Mattias Nissler. Mattias also has some tools that will make the dumped frames available to wireshark: http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/rt2x00/ Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28[PATCH] rt2x00: Implement SW diversityIvo van Doorn
When mac80211 indicates that the default antenna setup should be used _and_ that this default setup is SW_DIVERSITY. This requires sampling and storing the RSSI per antenna and check once every 2 seconds to determine if the RSSI has changed significantly. Once this is the case we should sample the other antenna for a short period and evaluate if we need to swap antenna or not. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-10-10[PATCH] rt2x00: Fix rfkill handlingIvo van Doorn
As reported by Modestas Vainius, enabling rkfill in 1 driver and disabling it in a second could cause a NULL pointer exception when the rfkill-disabled driver still sets the CONFIG_SUPPORT_HW_BUTTON flag. Furthermore, rfkill expects the timeout as a value in milliseconds instead of jiffies. Also increase the timeout to a second, since this 250ms would be overkill. Also the flag DEVICE_ENABLED_RADIO_HW is causing problems for devices which do not support the hardware button while rfkill is enabled in the driver. To remidy this we should inverse the flag and its meaning, rename the flag to DEVICE_DISABLED_RADIO_HW this means that by default the radio is enabled by the hardware button (if present) and can only be disabled explicitely.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
