Some devices (iwl5100) cannot connect to zd1211rw based AP. It appears that zd1211 firmware messes up duration_id field if it is not set to zero by driver. Sniffing traffic shows that zd1211 is transmitting frames with duration_id bits 14 and 15 set and other bits appearing random. Setting duration_id at driver to zero results zd1211 outputting sane duration_id. This means that firmware is setting correct values itself and expects duration_id to be zero in first place. Looking at vendor driver shows that only PSPoll frames have duration_id set by driver, for other frames duration_id left zero.

commit adb5066 "ath9k_hw: do not apply the 2.4 ghz ack timeout workaround to cts" reduced the hardware CTS timeout to the normal values specified by the standard, but it turns out while it doesn't need the same extra time that it needs for the ACK timeout, it does need more than the value specified in the standard, but only for 2.4 GHz. This patch brings the CTS timeout value in sync with the initialization values, while still allowing adjustment for bigger distances.

commit b4a82a0 "ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag" fixed the interpretation of the KeyMiss flag for keycache based lookups, however WEP encryption uses a static index, so KeyMiss is always asserted for it, even though frames are decrypted properly. Fix this by clearing the ATH9K_RXERR_KEYMISS flag if no keycache based lookup was performed.

If driver load is failed, sometimes few pointers may remain uninitialized ex. priv->wdev, priv->netdev, adapter->sleep_cfm This will cause NULL pointer dereferance while unloading the driver.

all works need to be initialized before ieee80211_register_hw to prevent mac80211 call backs such as drv_start, drv_config getting started. otherwise we would queue/cancel works before initializing them and it leads to kernel panic. this issue can be recreated with the following script in Chrome laptops with AR928X cards, with background scan running (or) Network manager is running while true do sudo modprobe -v ath9k sleep 3 sudo modprobe -r ath9k sleep 3 done EIP: [<81040a47>] __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 SS:ESP 0068:f6be9d70 ---[ end trace 4f86d6139a9900ef ]--- Registered led device: ath9k-phy0 ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9280 Rev:2 mem=0xf88a0000, irq=16 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Pid: 456, comm: wpa_supplicant Tainted: G D 3.0.13 #1 Call Trace: [<81379e21>] panic+0x53/0x14a [<81004a30>] oops_end+0x73/0x81 [<81004b53>] die+0x4c/0x55 [<81002710>] do_trap+0x7c/0x83 [<81002855>] ? do_bounds+0x58/0x58 [<810028cc>] do_invalid_op+0x77/0x81 [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810489ec>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x81/0x11f [<8103f809>] ? wait_on_work+0xe2/0xf7 [<8137f807>] error_code+0x67/0x6c [<810300d8>] ? wait_consider_task+0x4ba/0x84c [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810380c9>] ? try_to_del_timer_sync+0x5f/0x67 [<81040a91>] cancel_work_sync+0xf/0x11 [<f88d7b7c>] ath_set_channel+0x62/0x25c [ath9k] [<f88d67d1>] ? ath9k_tx_last_beacon+0x26a/0x85c [ath9k] [<f88d8899>] ath_radio_disable+0x3f1/0x68e [ath9k] [<f90d0edb>] ieee80211_hw_config+0x111/0x116 [mac80211] [<f90dd95c>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x919/0xa37 [mac80211] [<f90dda76>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0xa33/0xa37 [mac80211] [<812dbed8>] __dev_open+0x82/0xab Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Gary Morain <gmorain@google.com> Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Cc: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently even if association is failed "iw link" shows some information about connected BSS and "Tx timeout" error is seen in dmesg log. This patch fixes below issues in the code to handle assoc failure case correctly. 1) "status" variable in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() is not correctly updated. Hence driver doesn't inform cfg80211 stack about association failure. 2) During association network queues are stopped but carrier is not cleared, which gives Tx timeout error in failure case Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

In my AMPDU rework, I rely on the sequence numbers of frames. But I didn't check that the frame has a valid tid before updating the tracking counters. As a result, the Tx queues were stalled. People who hit this bug saw that we simply didn't let any data out. This bug was introduced in 3.3. This patch fixes that and checks that the frame is a QoS frame before looking at its tid and changing the counters.
