mac80211: Call driver commands after drv_start in mac80211 restart code

2012-01-04T19:31:46+00:00

Ideally, hardware/firmware initialization is complete after the
drv_start routine. In mac80211 restart code (ieee80211_reconfig),
defer calling the driver commands i.e. setup fragmentation
threshold, rts threshold and coverage class till drv_start
routine is called.

mac80211: don't indicate probe resp change in IBSS mode

2011-11-28T19:43:25+00:00

Due the a fall-through in the switch statement, the IBSS mode got a
report for AP_RPOBE_RESPONSE change on reconfig. Change this to an AP
only notification.

mac80211: Support ht-cap over-rides.

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

This implements ht-cap over-rides for mac80211 drivers.
HT may be disabled, making an /a/b/g/n station act like an
a/b/g station.  HT40 may be disabled forcing the station to
be HT20 even if the AP and local hardware support HT40.

MAX-AMSDU may be disabled.
AMPDU-Density may be increased.
AMPDU-Factor may be decreased.

This has been successfully tested with ath9k using patched
wpa_supplicant and iw.

cfg80211/mac80211: Revert "move information element parsing logic to cfg80211"

2011-11-21T21:20:49+00:00

No other driver ever ended up using this, and
the commit forgot to move the prototype so no
driver could have used it. Revert it, if any
driver shows up and needs it it can be moved
again, but until then it's more efficient to
have it in mac80211 where the only user is.

mac80211: use skb list for fragments

2011-11-21T21:20:42+00:00

We are currently linking the skbs by using skb->next
directly. This works, but the preferred way is to use
a struct sk_buff_head instead. That also prepares for
passing that to drivers directly.

While at it I noticed we calculate the duration for
fragments twice -- remove one of them.
