As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

It seems Broadcom released two devices with conflicting device id. There are for sure 14e4:4321 PCI devices with BCM4321 (N-PHY) chipset, they can be found in routers, e.g. Netgear WNR834Bv2. However, according to Broadcom public sources 0x4321 is also used for 5 GHz BCM4306 (G-PHY). It's unsure if they meant PCI device id, or "virtual" id (from SPROM). To distinguish these devices lets check PHY type (G vs. N). Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.16+ Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org>
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
