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.

cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modes

2008-09-05T20:17:42+00:00

It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

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

rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routine

2008-08-01T19:31:35+00:00

Some users of the RTL8187B have experienced difficulties since commit
49292d56352a6ab90d04c3448dd8b6106dfef2d6 that introduced the power
management wext hooks. This difficulty has not made much sense until
it was realized that it was possible for mac80211 to make a call to the
config routine while that routine was already being executed. On this
device, it is necessary to loopback the TX when changing channels. Unless
this is properly restored, the device will lockup. A mutex now protects
the device state, and the private data in several places.

The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski ,
who also suggested this type of fix.
