cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling better

2011-12-15T19:45:45+00:00

The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy
and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like
this could be an issue for drivers that don't use
mac80211 to validate everything.

As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the
validation of allowing supported_rates to change
for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

nl80211: Parse channel type attribute in an ibss join request

2011-12-06T21:05:24+00:00

Prepare cfg80211 for IBSS HT:
 * extend cfg80211 ibss struct with channel_type
 * Check if extension channel can be used
 * Export can_beacon_sec_chan for use in mac80211 (will be called
   from ibss.c later).

[siwu@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de: Updates]
* fix cfg80211_can_beacon_ext_chan comment
* remove implicit channel_type enum assumptions
* remove radar channel flags check
* add HT IBSS feature flag
* reword commit message

wireless: Support ht-capabilities over-rides.

2011-11-21T21:22:06+00:00

This allows users to disable features such as HT, HT40,
and to modify the MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU settings for
drivers that support it.

The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are
are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask.

Attemping to disable features that are not supported will
take no affect, but will not return errors.  This is to aid
backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be
clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask.

This patch only enables the infrastructure.  An additional
patch will enable the feature in mac80211.

cfg80211: process regulatory DFS region for countries

2011-11-21T21:20:41+00:00

The wireless-regdb now has support for mapping a country to
one DFS region. CRDA sends this to us now so process it
so we can provide that hint to drivers. This will later be
used by code for processing DFS in a way that meets the
criteria for the DFS region the country belongs to.

Notify user-space about probe-response offloading support in the driver.

A wiphy flag is used to indicate support and a bitmap of protocols
determines which protocols are supported.
