[PATCH] wireless/airo: clean up WEXT association and scan events

2006-04-19T21:25:37+00:00

Airo firmware versions >= 5.30.17 send re-association events to the
driver that are currently unrecognized, causing spurious disassociation
events to be sent to user space.  Loss of sync due to scan requests also
results in disassociation events sent to user space.  This patch traps
those two events; suppressing sync-loss on scan, and sending the correct
association event on re-association notifications.

[PATCH] wireless/airo: cache wireless scans

2006-03-23T21:13:58+00:00

Observed problems when multiple processes request scans and subsequently
scan results.  This causes a scan result request to hit card registers
before the scan is complete, returning an incomplete scan list and
possibly making the card very angry.  Instead, cache the results of a
wireless scan and serve result requests from the cache, rather than
hitting the hardware for them.

[PATCH] wireless/airo: define default MTU

2006-03-23T21:13:58+00:00

The number 2312 was used all over the place to refer to the card's
default MTU.  Make it a #define and use that everywhere rather than the
number.

[PATCH] wireless/airo: Remove 'Setting transmit key' info messages

2006-02-28T01:14:58+00:00

These messages end up polluting logs when things like NetworkManager or
wpa_supplicant are controlling the driver.  They aren't really that
useful, and no other drivers output messages like this when the user
fiddles with encryption keys.  Users can use iwconfig and other
wireless-tools methods to determine and change the current transmit key
if they wish to do so manually.  Therefore, remove the messages.

[PATCH] wireless/airo: fix setting TX key index plus key in ENCODEEXT

2006-02-17T13:17:00+00:00

The previous patch that added ENCODEEXT and AUTH support to the airo
driver contained a slight error which would cause setting the TX
key index ignore a valid key-set request at the same time.  This patch
allows any combination of setting the TX key index and setting an
encryption key.

[PATCH] wireless/airo: add IWENCODEEXT and IWAUTH support

2006-01-31T01:35:35+00:00

This patch adds IWENCODEEXT and IWAUTH support to the airo driver for
WEP and unencrypted operation.  No WPA though.  It allows the driver to
operate more willingly with wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager.

[PATCH] AIRO{,_CS} <-> CRYPTO fixes

2006-01-31T01:35:30+00:00

CRYPTO is a helper variable, and to make it easier for users, it should
therefore select'ed and not be listed in the dependencies.

drivers/net/wireless/airo.c requires CONFIG_CRYPTO for compilations.

Therefore, AIRO_CS also has to CRYPTO.

Additionally, this patch removes the #ifdef's for the non-compiling
CRYPTO=n case from drivers/net/wireless/airo.c.

[PATCH] drivers/net/wireless: correct reported ssid lengths

2006-01-16T21:51:53+00:00

ESSIDs can technically include NULL characters.  Drivers should not be
adjusting the length of the ESSID before reporting it in their
SIOCGIWESSID handlers.  Breaks stuff like wpa_supplicant.  Note that ipw
drivers, which seem to currently be the "most correct", don't have this
problem.
