mwifiex: reduce cloned skb queue size

2016-01-07T09:14:06+00:00

Driver supports Tx status ack feature. When hostapd/
wpa_supplicant asks for ack status of an EAPOL/ACTION
frame, driver maintains a cloned skb for the packet
until TX_STATUS event is received from firmware.

Cloned skb queue gets flushed when connection is terminated
or driver is unloaded.

Let's reduce the queue size to avoid unnecessarily
keeping memory allocated when environment is busy.

mwifiex: fix missing debug messages

2016-01-07T09:14:02+00:00

Some critical messages are missed until "adapter->dev"
gets initialized in mwifiex_register_dev().
We will use pr_* print message instead of mwifiex_dbg at
those places to resolve the problem.

mwifiex: correctly handling kzalloc

2016-01-07T09:11:51+00:00

Since kzalloc can be failed in memory pressure,
it needs to be handled, otherwise NULL dereference could be happened

mwifiex: fix WPA connection problem

2015-12-30T14:58:10+00:00

Device fails to connect to some AP's configured in WPA
security mode. Currently IE buffer parsing logic in driver
expects WPA IE to be present at the beginning of IE buffer.
Otherwise connection is failed with 'incompatible network
setting' error.

This patch fixes the problem by improving IE buffer parsing
logic.
