USB: convert drivers/net/* to use module_usb_driver()

2011-11-18T17:44:20+00:00

This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

drivers/net: Add module.h to drivers who were implicitly using it

2011-10-31T23:31:07+00:00

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for
most of these drivers.  But we want to clean that up.  Call out the
include of module.h in the modular network drivers.

mac80211: pass vif param to conf_tx() callback

2011-10-03T19:22:41+00:00

tx params should be configured per interface.
add ieee80211_vif param to the conf_tx callback,
and change all the drivers that use this callback.

The following spatch was used:
@rule1@

identifier conf_tx_op;

	ops.conf_tx = conf_tx_op;

mac80211: add ieee80211_vif param to tsf functions

2011-09-27T18:27:48+00:00

TSF can be kept per vif.
Add ieee80211_vif param to set/get/reset_tsf, and move
the debugfs entries to the per-vif directory.

Update all the drivers that implement these callbacks.

rtl8187: Change rate-control feedback

2011-03-04T19:05:17+00:00

The driver for the RTL8187L chips returns IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for all
packets, even if the maximum number of retries was exhausted. In addition
it fails to setup max_rates in the ieee80211_hw struct, This behavior
may be responsible for the problems noted in Bug 14168. As the bug is very
old, testers have not been found, and I do not have the case where the
indicated signal is less than -70 dBm.

mac80211: make tx() operation return void

2011-02-25T20:32:34+00:00

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

mac80211: rename RX_FLAG_TSFT

2011-02-23T21:25:29+00:00

The flag isn't very descriptive -- the intention
is that the driver provides a TSF timestamp at
the beginning of the MPDU -- make that clearer
by renaming the flag to RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU.

rtl818x: move rtl8180 and rtl8187 to separate subdirectories

2010-12-22T18:45:32+00:00

These drivers share one header file, but nothing else.  Worse, both
drivers use the rtl8225 part with different register settings.  The
results has been some ugly naming -- let's simplify that.

rtl8187: restore anaparam registers after reset with 8187B

2010-11-15T18:25:48+00:00

Current 8187B initialization misses anaparam registers restore after
8187 reset. This causes ANAPARAM register to stay zeroed out (ANAPARAM2
kept its value on my tests). To avoid this, call rtl8187_set_anaparam
right after chip reset (to be on the safe side, as it makes sure we
restore all ANAPARAM registers).
