cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutions

2008-11-25T21:41:27+00:00

This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform
us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and*
they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166
alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead
of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure,
providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().

cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support

2008-11-25T21:41:26+00:00

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

wireless: implement basic rate helper function

2008-11-10T20:17:35+00:00

This adds a helper function that, given a bitmap of basic
rates and a bitrate returns the response rate for this rate.

wireless: remove struct regdom hinting

2008-10-31T23:02:30+00:00

The code needs to be split out and cleaned up, so as a
first step remove the capability, to add it back in a
subsequent patch as a separate function. Also remove the
publically facing return value of the function and the
wiphy argument. A number of internal functions go from
being generic helpers to just being used for alpha2
setting.

wireless: make regdom passing semantics simpler

2008-10-31T23:02:30+00:00

The regdom struct is given to the core, so it might as well
free it in error conditions.

wireless: don't publish __regulatory_hint

2008-10-31T23:00:41+00:00

This function requires an internal lock to be held, so it cannot
be published to other modules in the kernel.

802.11: clean up/fix HT support

2008-10-31T23:00:06+00:00

This patch cleans up a number of things:
 * the unusable definition of the HT capabilities/HT information
   information elements
 * variable names that are hard to understand
 * mac80211: move ieee80211_handle_ht to ht.c and remove the unused
             enable_ht parameter
 * mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht
 * mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie
             to an information element _contents_ rather than the
             whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds
             access bug fixed!)
 * mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
             checking
 * a few minor other things

cfg80211: show interface type

2008-09-24T20:18:00+00:00

This patch makes cfg80211 show the interface in the nl80211
information about a specific interface. API users are required
to keep the type updated (everything else is fairly complicated)
but you will get a warning if you fail to keep it updated.

cfg80211: fix code ordering in header file

2008-09-24T20:17:59+00:00

Luis added the regulatory hint stuff to this file without
observing that __ieee80211_get_channel and ieee80211_get_channel
really belong together.
