2008-09-24cfg80211: clean up static regdomain messJohannes Berg
The statically defined regdomains are used in a very convoluted way, use them instead to prime the information we have and then continue operating normally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-24cfg80211: fix regulatory code constJohannes Berg
A few pointers and structures in the regulatory code are const, but because it wasn't done properly a whole bunch of bogus casts were needed to compile without warning. Mark everything const properly to avoid that kind of junk code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-24cfg80211: clean up regulatory messJohannes Berg
The recent code from Luis is an #ifdef hell and contains lots of code that's stuffed into the wrong file making a whole bunch of things needlessly non-static, and besides, what is it doing in core.c??

2008-09-15cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2008-06-25mac80211: implement EU regulatory domainTony Vroon
Implement missing EU regulatory domain for mac80211. Based on the information in IEEE 802.11-2007 (specifically pages 1142, 1143 & 1148) and ETSI 301 893 (V1.4.1). With thanks to Johannes Berg.

2008-04-08cfg80211: default to regulatory max power for channelJohn W. Linville
If the driver does not specify a maximum power output, default to the regulatory max. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
