wireless: Incorrect LEAP authentication algorithm identifier.

2008-12-12T18:48:20+00:00

This patch fixes a regression introduced by
"wireless: avoid some net/ieee80211.h vs. linux/ieee80211.h conflicts"
LEAP authentication algorithm identifier should be 128.

cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support

2008-11-25T21:41:26+00:00

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

mac80211_hwsim: Add support for client PS mode

2008-11-10T20:17:41+00:00

This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be
used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values
can be written into this file to change PS mode:
0 = power save disabled (constantly awake)
1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll)
2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive
    buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented
3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame)

Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested:
- move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a
  time)
- move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps'
  debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a time

Mode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but
eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a
traffic bit is set for our AID.

wireless: move mesh config length constant

2008-11-10T20:10:16+00:00

This is a constant from the 802.11 specification.

There is quite a lot of overlap in definitions between these headers...

802.11: clean up/fix HT support

2008-10-31T23:00:06+00:00

This patch cleans up a number of things:
 * the unusable definition of the HT capabilities/HT information
   information elements
 * variable names that are hard to understand
 * mac80211: move ieee80211_handle_ht to ht.c and remove the unused
             enable_ht parameter
 * mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht
 * mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie
             to an information element _contents_ rather than the
             whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds
             access bug fixed!)
 * mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
             checking
 * a few minor other things

mac80211: mesh portal functionality support

2008-09-24T20:18:02+00:00

Currently the mesh code doesn't support bridging mesh point interfaces
with wired ethernet or AP to construct an MPP or MAP. This patch adds
code to support the "6 address frame format packet" functionality to
mesh point interfaces. Now the mesh network can be used as backhaul
for end to end communication.

mac80211: move some HT code out of mlme.c

2008-09-11T19:53:37+00:00

Some of the HT code in mlme.c is misplaced:
 * constants/definitions belong to the ieee80211.h header
 * code being used in other modes as well shouldn't be there

mac80211: change MIMO_PS to SM_PS

2008-09-11T19:53:31+00:00

This patch follows 11n spec naming more rigorously replacing MIMO_PS
with SM_PS (Spatial Multiplexing Power Save).

(Originally submitted as 4 patches, "mac80211: change MIMO_PS to SM_PS",
"iwlwifi: change MIMO_PS to SM_PS", "ath9k: change MIMO_PS to SM_PS",
and "iwlwifi: remove double definition of SM PS". -- JWL)
