2009-05-13cfg80211: implement wext key handlingJohannes Berg
Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext compatibility. Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted" for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets" and "Accept non-encoded packets". (Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22cfg80211: clean up includesJohannes Berg
Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h) and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to a new header net/regulatory.h. The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections. There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling and some very minor documentation fixes. I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly in a file that only had my copyright line.

2009-01-29wireless: restrict to 32 legacy ratesJohannes Berg
Since the standards only define 12 legacy rates, 32 is certainly a sane upper limit and we don't need to use u64 everywhere. Add sanity checking that no more than 32 rates are registered and change the variables to u32 throughout. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-11-10wireless: implement basic rate helper functionJohannes Berg
This adds a helper function that, given a bitmap of basic rates and a bitrate returns the response rate for this rate. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-03-27cfg80211: don't export ieee80211_get_channelJohannes Berg
This patch makes ieee80211_get_channel a static inline defined in cfg80211's header file which simply calls __ieee80211_get_channel to avoid symbol clashes with the ieee80211 code. The problem was pointed out by David Miller, thanks! Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-03-25wireless: add wiphy channel freq to channel struct lookup helperJohannes Berg
Add ieee80211_get_channel() which gets you a channel struct for a specific wiphy if that channel is present in that wiphy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-29wireless: Fix WARN_ON() with ieee802.11bIvo van Doorn
When the driver registers a IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ band, it can either be 802.11b or 802.11g. But when 802.11b rates are registered "want" will be 3 (since 4 rates are being registered, and each of those 4 rates will decrease "want"). Since this is a correct situation, there is no need to trigger a WARN_ON() for this. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-29wireless: fix ERP rate flagsJohannes Berg
In the rate API patch I accidentally reverted the test for ERP rates, this fixes it. All rates except 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 MBit are ERP rates, not those. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> 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.
