2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: fix event sendingJohannes Berg
Softmac is sending custom events to userspace already, but it should _really_ be sending the right WEXT events instead. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: handle iw_mode properlyjohannes@sipsolutions.net
Below patch allows using iw_mode auto with softmac. bcm43xx forces managed so this bug wasn't noticed earlier, but this was one of the problems why zd1211 didn't work earlier. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: dont send out packets while scanningjohannes@sipsolutions.net
Seems we forgot to stop the queue while scanning. Better do that so we don't transmit packets all the time during background scanning. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: return -EAGAIN from getscan while scanningjohannes@sipsolutions.net
Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the results.

2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: fix spinlock recursion on reassocMichael Buesch
This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request. On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead of calling it directly. Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver. That is dangerous. This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it is remote exploitable (DoS by crash). Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac uses Wiress Ext.Randy Dunlap
softmac uses wireless extensions, so let it SELECT that config option; WARNING: "wireless_send_event" [net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac.ko] undefined! Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-03-27[PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.David Woodhouse
We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP. This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people. When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at 11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] softmac: reduce scan dwell timeDavid Woodhouse
It currently takes something like 8 seconds to do a scan, because we spend half a second on each channel. Reduce that time to 20ms per channel. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-03-23[PATCH] Restore channel setting after scan.David Woodhouse
After a scan, we weren't switching back to the original channel if we were associated with an AP. So NetworkManager's periodic scans would disrupt connectivity until the ESSID was manually set again. Fix that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-03-22[PATCH] Fix softmac scanLarry Finger
Softmac scanning fails because the stop flag is not cleared before scanning is started. The attached one-line patch fixes this. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-03-22[PATCH] softmac: update deauth handler to quiet warningJohannes Berg
Recently the deauth packet handler was updated to use a deauth packet struct (identical to the auth packet struct) and this now gives a warning. This patch updates the code to properly use a deauth struct and deauth variable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
