nl80211: prevent additions to old station flags API

2012-05-16T17:08:15+00:00

We don't really want/need to maintain the old
station flags API any more, so refuse changes
to new (not yet defined) flags from the old
flags API.

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: Allow user to see/configure HT protection mode

2012-05-09T01:53:59+00:00

This patch introduces a new mesh configuration parameter "ht_opmode" and will
allow user to check the current HT protection mode selected. Users could
configure the protection mode by the command "iw mesh_iface set mesh_param
mesh_ht_protection_mode=2". The default protection mode of mesh is set to
non-HT mixed mode.

cfg80211: add channel switch notify event

2012-04-11T20:23:59+00:00

The firmware may decide to switch channels while already beaconing, e.g.
in response to a cfg80211 connect request on a different vif. Add this
event to notify userspace when an AP or GO interface has successfully
migrated to a new channel, so it can update its configuration
accordingly.

cfg80211/nl80211: clarify TX queue API

2012-04-10T18:54:09+00:00

With the plan to change mac80211's queue API to
not map ACs to queues 1:1, it seems necessary to
clarify some APIs that act on ACs rather than on
queues to spell that out explicitly. Do this.

Also verify that the AC number given is valid.

2012-03-06T20:16:05+00:00

Add the signal strength (in dBm only for now) to
frames that are received via nl80211's various
frame APIs.

cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode

2012-03-05T20:38:34+00:00

This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT,
to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the
station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP
and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but
don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity
timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag,
NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags
through which drivers can register their capability to use
the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peering

2012-03-05T20:23:15+00:00

Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer
candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification
but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid
marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range.

This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold. This
feature is supported only for hardwares that report signal in dBm.
