cfg80211: self-contained wext handling where possible

2009-07-29T19:46:20+00:00

Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for!

This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation
_completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things
cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of
wireless extensions.
This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's
Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext
now!

		RIP wext.

cfg80211: combine IWESSID handlers

2009-07-29T19:46:18+00:00

Since we now have handlers IWESSID for all modes, we can
combine them into one.

cfg80211: combine iwfreq implementations

2009-07-29T19:46:14+00:00

Until now we implemented iwfreq for managed mode, we
needed to keep the implementations separate, but now
that we have all versions implemented we can combine
them and export just one handler.

cfg80211: implement get_wireless_stats

2009-07-10T19:01:52+00:00

By dropping the noise reporting, we can implement
wireless stats in cfg80211. We also make the
handler return NULL if we have no information,
which is possible thanks to the recent wext change.

cfg80211: implement IWRATE

2009-07-10T19:01:52+00:00

For now, let's implement that using a very hackish way:
simply mirror the wext API in the cfg80211 API. This
will have to be changed later when we implement proper
bitrate API.

cfg80211: implement iwpower

2009-07-10T19:01:51+00:00

Just on/off and timeout, and with a hacky cfg80211 method
until we figure out what we want, though this is probably
sufficient as we want to use pm_qos for wifi everywhere.

cfg80211: managed mode wext compatibility

2009-07-10T19:01:51+00:00

This adds code to make it possible to use the cfg80211
connect() API with wireless extensions, and because the
previous patch added emulation of that API with auth()
and assoc(), by extension also supports wext on that.
At the same time, removes code from mac80211 for wext,
but doesn't yet clean up mac80211's mlme code more.

mac80211: disconnect when user changes channel

2009-06-15T19:05:58+00:00

If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested,
we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and
then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so
we might just as well disconnect right away.

Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the
driver will clear some internal state on channel changes
like this and then get confused when we actually go clear
that state from mac80211.

It may look like this patch drops the no-IBSS check, but
that is already handled by cfg80211 in the wext handler it
provides for IBSS (cfg80211_ibss_wext_siwfreq).
