2008-03-25libertas: rename packetfilter to mac_controlHolger Schurig
The CMD_MAC_CONTROL can be used for other things than just filtering packets, e.g. to enable and disable WMM. This uses the same term mac_control for the define, the function and the shadow value in struct lbs_private.

2008-03-13iwlwifi: fix bug to show hidden APs during scanReinette Chatre
Indirect scanning ('iwlist scan') should report information about hidden APs. When an AP is hidden it does not respond to active scanning, we thus have to use passive scanning to locate these APs.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Fix rt2400pci signalIvo van Doorn
After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors, the results were conclusive: - The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong. It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1 for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2. BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear, but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field. BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown. As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values for CCK rates. This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based on what the driver reports.

The basic rate which is configured in the register should not match all supported rates, but only the _basic_ rates.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Move firmware checksumming to driverIvo van Doorn
rt2x00lib depended on 2 crc algorithms because rt61/rt73 use a different algorithm then rt2800. This means that even when only 1 algorithm was needed, the dependency was still present for both. By moving the checksum generation to the driver we can clean up 2 annoying flags (which indicated which checksum was required) and move the dependency to where it belongs: the driver.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Only disable beaconing just before beacon updateIvo van Doorn
We should not write 0 to the beacon sync register during config_intf() since that will clear out the beacon interval and forces the beacon to be send out at the lowest interval. (reported by Mattias Nissler). The side effect of the same bug was that while working with multiple virtual AP interfaces a change for any of those interfaces would disable beaconing untill an beacon update was provided. This is resolved by only updating the TSF_SYNC value during config_intf(). In update_beacon() we disable beaconing temporarily to prevent fake beacons to be transmitted. Finally kick_tx_queue() will enable beaconing again. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-13rt2x00: Use skbdesc fields for descriptor initializationIvo van Doorn
In rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() the skb->data and skb->len fields were incorrectly used.

Instead of using the skbuffer fields we should use the skbdesc fields which are correctly initialized and contain all the data that we need.

2008-03-13rt2x00: Align RX descriptor to 4 bytesIvo van Doorn
Some architectures give problems when reading RX frame descriptor words when the descriptor is not aligned on a 4 byte boundrary. Due to optimalizations for the ieee80211 payload 4 byte alignment, it is no longer guarenteed that the descriptor is placed on the 4 byte boundrary (In fact, for rt73usb it is absolutely never aligned to 4 bytes, for rt2500usb it depends on the length of the payload). This will copy the descriptor to a 4 byte aligned location before it is read for the first time. This will also move the payload data alignment in rt2x00usb (instead of inside the driver) where it has always belonged. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-07ath5k: work around wrong beacon rx timestamp in IBSS modeBruno Randolf
atheros hardware has a problem with the rx timestamp of some IBSS beacons when they caused a TSF update (they have the same BSSID). the rx timestamp is wrong especially if the beacon frames get bigger than 78 byte (at least on AR5213 and AR5414 hardware). in that case ath5k_extend_tsf() will assume a rs_tstamp overflow and give us a timestamp too far in the past which will cause mac80211 to merge IBSS on every beacon (which is not necessary since the BSSID already matches). but in this case we know that the HW must have synced to the beacons TSF and the rx timestamp must be later than that so we can adjust mactime accordingly. also rename the function to ath5k_check_ibss_tsf() and change comments, since "hw merge" is better described as a TSF update. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-07ath5k: move rx and tx status structures out of hardware descriptorBruno Randolf
move ath5k_tx_status and ath5k_rx_status structures out of the hardware descriptor since they are not accessed by the hardware at all. they just contain converted information from the hardware descriptor. since they are only used in the rx and tx tasklets there is also no use to keep them for each descriptor. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/ath5k.h: Changes-licensed-under: ISC drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/debug.c: Changes-licensed-under: GPL drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/debug.h: Changes-licensed-under: GPL drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/hw.c: Changes-licensed-under: ISC Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-07ath5k: struct ath5k_desc cleanupsBruno Randolf
* make struct ath5k_desc clearer by directly including unions of structures, which correspond to the hardware descriptors of different HW versions (5210 and 5212). before they were casted at onto ath5k_desc at different points (e.g. ds_hw[2]). * rename some structures and variable names to make their use clearer, e.g. struct ath5k_hw_4w_tx_desc to ath5k_hw_4w_tx_ctl. * substitute "old" with "5210" and "new" with "5212" (eg. rename ath5k_hw_proc_new_rx_status() to ath5k_hw_proc_5212_rx_status()) because old and new are relative and we might have a newer structure at some point. * unify structs ath5k_hw_old_rx_status and ath5k_hw_new_rx_status into one ath5k_hw_rx_status, because they only differ in the flags and masks. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/ath5k.h: Changes-licensed-under: ISC drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/debug.c: Changes-licensed-under: GPL drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/hw.c: Changes-licensed-under: ISC drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/hw.h: Changes-licensed-under: ISC Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
