The TIM IE must not be shorter than 4 bytes, so verify that
when parsing it and use the proper type. To ease that adjust
struct ieee80211_tim_ie to have a virtual bitmap of size
at least 1.
Also check that the TIM IE is actually present before trying
to parse it!
Because other people may need the function, make it a static
inline in ieee80211.h.
(The original "mac80211: validate TIM IE length" was a minimal fix for
2.6.30. This purports to be the full, correct fix. -- JWL)

The fact that these are exported is a technical detail
of the conversion period -- we don't want anybody to
start relying on these. Ultimately we want things to
use cfg80211 only, and once everything that is in wext
is converted to cfg80211 drivers will not need to touch
wext _at all_.

When we leave an IBSS, we should clear the SSID and not just the
BSSID, but since WEXT allows configuring while the interface is
down we must not clear it when leaving due to taking the iface
down, so some complications are needed.

Add new nl80211 attributes that can be used with NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY
and NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY to manage fragmentation/RTS threshold and
retry limits.
Since these values are stored in struct wiphy, remove the local copy
from mac80211 where feasible (frag & rts threshold). The retry limits
are currently needed in struct ieee80211_conf, but these could be
eventually removed since the driver should have access to the values
in struct wiphy.

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.

This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers.
The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them
from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS.
The nl80211 API requires
* an SSID
* a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS
has to be created
It optionally supports
* a flag to fix the channel
* a fixed BSSID
The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before
the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it
also caches values when the interface is down and instructs
the driver to join when the interface is set up.

We can allow scan requests in AP mode as long as the interface has not
yet been configured to send out Beacon frames (or if beaconing has
been disabled prior to the scan request). This makes it easier to scan
for neighboring BSSes during AP initialization and makes it possible
to run a scan without setting the interface down, if needed. Without
this change, the only available option would be to set the interface
down, move into station mode, and set the interface up, prior to
requesting the scan.

Enable PS by default (depending on Kconfig) -- rely on drivers
to control the level using pm_qos. Due to the previous patch
we turn off PS when necessary due to latency requirements.
This has a Kconfig symbol so people can, if they really want,
configure the default in their kernels. We may want to keep it
at "default y" only in wireless-testing for a while.

Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering,
there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time
throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then
in the future possibly userspace).
This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in
mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in
all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs
by their OUI.
In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request
information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can
then implement the best they can do while software implements
it fully.
It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but
the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly
cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit;
Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon
filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result
updates could quickly creep into code.

When an application asks for a latency lower than the beacon interval
there's nothing we can do -- we need to stay awake and not have the
AP buffer frames for us. Add code to automatically calculate this

When you have multiple virtual interfaces the current
implementation requires setting them up properly from
userspace, which is undesirable when we want to default
to power save mode. Keep track of powersave requested
from userspace per managed mode interface, and only
enable powersave globally when exactly one managed mode
interface is active and has powersave turned on.
Second, only start the dynPS timer when PS is turned
on, and properly turn it off when PS is turned off.
Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code.
Finally, also reorder the code and refactor the code
that enables PS or the dynps timer instead of having
it copied in two places.

Some hardware defects may require the hardware to be re-initialised
completely from scratch. Drivers would need much information (for
instance the current MAC address, crypto keys, beaconing information,
etc.) stored duplicated from mac80211 to be able to do this, so let
mac80211 help them.
The new ieee80211_restart_hw() function requires the same code as
resuming, so move that code into a new ieee80211_reconfig() function
in util.c and leave only the suspend code in pm.c.

In the normal WPA or RSN case keys are only configured after

Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be
used to notify user space about locally detected Michael MIC failures.
This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive.
Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when
mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed
to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a
requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not
really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from
mac80211, but it could be added at some point.

locally generated ones in order to let applications know that we
disconnected (e.g., when AP does not reply to a probe). Rename the

aio_write gets const struct iovec * but tun_chr_aio_write casts this to struct
iovec * and modifies the iovec. As a result, attempts to use io_submit
to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL.
Since tun is the only user of skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec, we can
fix this simply by changing the later so that it does not

Currently beacon loss detection triggers after a scan. A probe request
is sent and a message like this is printed to the log:
wlan0: beacon loss from AP 00:12:17:e7:98:de - sending probe request
But in fact there is no beacon loss, the beacons are just not received
because of the ongoing scan. Fix it by updating last_beacon after
the scan has finished.
