2006-03-23[PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16Jean Tourrilhes
This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink. Few comments on the patch : o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed. o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created (around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents. o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well encapsulated. o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean. o Code do probably too many checks and could be further optimised, but better safe than sorry. o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff. I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful suggestions to make this patch better. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

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.

2006-03-22[PATCH] ieee80211_rx_any: filter out packets, call ieee80211_rx or ↵Denis Vlasenko
ieee80211_rx_mgt Version 2 of the patch. Added checks for version 0 and proper from/to DS bits. Even in promisc mode we won't receive packets from another BSSes. bcm43xx_rx() contains code to filter out packets from foreign BSSes and decide whether to call ieee80211_rx or ieee80211_rx_mgt. This is not bcm specific. Patch adapts that code and adds it to 80211 as ieee80211_rx_any() function. Signed-off-by: Denis Vlasenko <vda@ilport.com.ua> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-03-22[X25]: dte facilities 32 64 ioctl conversionShaun Pereira
Allows dte facility patch to use 32 64 bit ioctl conversion mechanism Signed-off-by: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-22[X25]: allow ITU-T DTE facilities for x25Shaun Pereira
Allows use of the optional user facility to insert ITU-T (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/) specified DTE facilities in call set-up x25 packets. This feature is optional; no facilities will be added if the ioctl is not used, and call setup packet remains the same as before. If the ioctls provided by the patch are used, then a facility marker will be added to the x25 packet header so that the called dte address extension facility can be differentiated from other types of facilities (as described in the ITU-T X.25 recommendation) that are also allowed in the x25 packet header. Facility markers are made up of two octets, and may be present in the x25 packet headers of call-request, incoming call, call accepted, clear request, and clear indication packets. The first of the two octets represents the facility code field and is set to zero by this patch. The second octet of the marker represents the facility parameter field and is set to 0x0F because the marker will be inserted before ITU-T type DTE facilities. Since according to ITU-T X.25 Recommendation X.25(10/96)- 7.1 "All networks will support the facility markers with a facility parameter field set to all ones or to 00001111", therefore this patch should work with all x.25 networks. While there are many ITU-T DTE facilities, this patch implements only the called and calling address extension, with placeholders in the x25_dte_facilities structure for the rest of the facilities. Testing: This patch was tested using a cisco xot router connected on its serial ports to an X.25 network, and on its lan ports to a host running an xotd daemon. It is also possible to test this patch using an xotd daemon and an x25tap patch, where the xotd daemons work back-to-back without actually using an x.25 network. See www.fyonne.net for details on how to do this.

2006-03-20[IPV6]: Cleanups for net/ipv6/addrconf.c (kzalloc, early exit) v2Ingo Oeser

2006-03-20[IPV6]: Cleanup of net/ipv6/reassambly.cIngo Oeser

2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: allow show/store of group multicast addressStephen Hemminger
Bridge's communicate with each other using Spanning Tree Protocol over a standard multicast address. There are times when testing or layering bridges over existing topologies or tunnels, when it is useful to use alternative multicast addresses for STP packets. The 802.1d standard has some unused addresses, that can be used for this. This patch is restrictive in that it only allows one of the possible addresses in the standard.

2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packetsStephen Hemminger
Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets. This allows link local multicast packets to be received by other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC code to get STP packets back into bridge code. The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP domains.

2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: optimize frame pass upStephen Hemminger

2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: use kzallocStephen Hemminger
