iwl4965: reset firmware after rfkill off

2013-08-20T15:26:28+00:00

commit 788f7a56fce1bcb2067b62b851a086fca48a0056 upstream.

Using rfkill switch can make firmware unstable, what cause various
Microcode errors and kernel warnings. Reseting firmware just after
rfkill off (radio on) helped with that.

iwl4965: set power mode early

2013-08-20T15:26:28+00:00

commit eca396d7a5bdcc1fd67b1b12f737c213ac78a6f4 upstream.

If device was put into a sleep and system was restarted or module
reloaded, we have to wake device up before sending other commands.
Otherwise it will fail to start with Microcode error.

mwifiex: Add missing endian conversion.

2013-08-11T22:38:42+00:00

commit 83e612f632c3897be29ef02e0472f6d63e258378 upstream.

Both type and pkt_len variables are in host endian and these should be in
Little Endian in the payload.

rt2x00: fix stop queue

2013-08-11T22:38:42+00:00

commit e2288b66fe7ff0288382b2af671b4da558b44472 upstream.

Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following
call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not
stop queue in mac80211.

To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function,
which will stop queue in mac80211 directly.

Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit.

Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to
rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race
with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue()
directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without
major rework.

ath9k_htc: do some initial hardware configuration

2013-08-11T22:38:41+00:00

commit dc2a87f519a4d8cb376ab54f22b6b98a943b51ce upstream.

Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after
interface start. In this case, if we reload module or
reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze.
There is no software way to reset adpter.

This patch add initial configuration and set it in
disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch
should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

ath9k: Do not assign noise for NULL caldata

2013-07-28T23:25:47+00:00

commit d3bcb7b24bbf09fde8405770e676fe0c11c79662 upstream.

ah->noise is maintained globally and not per-channel. This
is updated in the reset() routine after the NF history has been
filled for the *current channel*, just before switching to
the new channel. There is no need to do it inside getnf(), since
ah->noise must contain a value for the new channel.

rt2x00: read 5GHz TX power values from the correct offset

2013-07-28T23:25:45+00:00

commit 0a6f3a8ebaf13407523c2c7d575b4ca2debd23ba upstream.

The current code uses the same index value both
for the channel information array and for the TX
power table. The index starts from 14, however the
index of the TX power table must start from zero.

Fix it, in order to get the correct TX power value
for a given channel.

The changes in rt61pci.c and rt73usb.c are compile
tested only.

rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix duplicate if test

2013-07-22T01:19:00+00:00

commit 10d0b9030a3f86e1e26c710c7580524d7787d688 upstream.

A typo causes routine rtl92cu_phy_rf6052_set_cck_txpower() to test the
same condition twice. The problem was found using cppcheck-1.49, and the
proper fix was verified against the pre-mac80211 version of the code.

This patch was originally included as commit 1288aa4, but was accidentally
reverted in a later patch.

ath9k: Use minstrel rate control by default

2013-06-20T18:58:44+00:00

commit 5efac94999ff218e0101f67a059e44abb4b0b523 upstream.

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.

An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191

Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.
