rtl8187: Reduce channel switch delay

2008-11-10T20:17:34+00:00

The latest vendor driver (rtl8187B_linux_26.1036.0708.2008) has a 10 msec
delay after the call to set a new channel, but not before.

rtl8187: Remove primitive write delays

2008-11-10T20:17:34+00:00

Each of the primary write routines, rtl8187_write_phy(),
rtl8225_write_bitbang(), and rtl8225_write_8051() all conclude with an
msleep() command. Testing shows that these are not needed.

rtl8187: Remove large delays

2008-11-10T20:17:34+00:00

The rtl8187 driver contains 3 sleep statements that are longer than
a second. Testing has shown no bad effects when they are removed.

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.

rtl8187: add short slot handling for 8187B

2008-10-31T23:00:19+00:00

This change adds short slot handling for 8187B variant of rtl8187 chips.
Some things to note about changes done:
* Values used are chosen to met 802.11-2007 spec. This raised a question
  about SIFS value used with 8187L: 0x22 (34) doesn't match any spec
  value. For now just don't change 8187L, but is something to be
  looked at.
* On 8187B, the location of EIFS register is at the same place as BRSR+1
  of struct rtl818x_csr. Unfortunately there is no clean way to
  accomodate 8187B differences currently, just use address of BRSR+1 and
  comment about it. The same thing happens for Ack timeout register,
  that is on CARRIER_SENSE_COUNTER location of 8187L. The eifs and ack
  timeout values are in units of 4us. All these registers information
  was gathered from references being the vendor gpl driver and 8180
  datasheet, unfortunately there is no information about this on 8187B
  datasheet. Also the ack timeout value was inspired by the same
  calculation as done on rt2x00.

rtl8187: adapt for deprecated IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME flag

2008-10-31T23:00:18+00:00

This updates 8187L handling for short slot after "mac80211: fix short
slot handling". For 8187B, there was no handling done for short slot
timing so nothing done, support for it will come in a following patch.
