linux.git/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8180_dev.c, branch master

Move all rtl818x files to a common directory.

2008-11-21T16:06:04+00:00

This change improves the maintainability of these drivers. No functionality
is changed.

mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API

2008-10-31T23:00:23+00:00

So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

mac80211: introduce hw config change flags

2008-10-31T23:00:07+00:00

This makes mac80211 notify the driver which configuration
actually changed, e.g. channel etc.

No driver changes, this is just plumbing, driver authors are
expected to act on this if they want to.

Also remove the HW CONFIG debug printk, it's incorrect, often
we configure something else.

net: convert print_mac to %pM

2008-10-28T00:06:18+00:00

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.

I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

mac80211: add multi-rate retry support

2008-10-06T22:14:57+00:00

This patch adjusts the rate control API to allow multi-rate retry
if supported by the driver. The ieee80211_hw struct specifies how
many alternate rate selections the driver supports.

mac80211: use nl80211 interface types

2008-09-15T20:48:23+00:00

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

rtl818x: merge tx/rx descriptor flags

2008-08-22T20:29:48+00:00

Tx/Rx descriptor flags are common between rtl818x devices, only with
additions for newer chips, thus use same flags in the code.

mac80211: use multi-queue master netdevice

2008-05-22T01:48:14+00:00

This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb

2008-05-22T01:48:11+00:00

This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

mac80211: use rate index in TX control

2008-05-22T01:48:09+00:00

This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.
