2013-09-08T04:58:15+00:00

commit b2fcc0aee58a3435566dd6d8501a0b355552f28b upstream.

My current 3.11 fix:

    iwl4965: reset firmware after rfkill off

broke rfkill notification to user-space . I missed that bug, because
I compiled without CONFIG_RFKILL, sorry about that.

ath9k_htc: Restore skb headroom when returning skb to mac80211

2013-09-08T04:58:15+00:00

commit d2e9fc141e2aa21f4b35ee27072d84e9aa6e2ba0 upstream.

ath9k_htc adds padding between the 802.11 header and the payload during
TX by moving the header. When handing the frame back to mac80211 for TX
status handling the header is not moved back into its original position.
This can result in a too small skb headroom when entering ath9k_htc
again (due to a soft retransmission for example) causing an
skb_under_panic oops.

Fix this by moving the 802.11 header back into its original position
before returning the frame to mac80211 as other drivers like rt2x00
or ath5k do.

Hostap: copying wrong data prism2_ioctl_giwaplist()

2013-08-29T16:50:13+00:00

commit 909bd5926d474e275599094acad986af79671ac9 upstream.

We want the data stored in "addr" and "qual", but the extra ampersands
mean we are copying stack data instead.

zd1201: do not use stack as URB transfer_buffer

2013-08-29T16:50:12+00:00

commit 1206ff4ff9d2ef7468a355328bc58ac6ebf5be44 upstream.

Patch fixes zd1201 not to use stack as URB transfer_buffer. URB buffers need
to be DMA-able, which stack is not.

Patch is only compile tested.

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

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.

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.
