wireless: remove CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY

2009-12-28T21:31:37+00:00

This is no longer needed with the availability of
CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB.

wireless: support internal statically compiled regulatory database

2009-12-21T23:56:10+00:00

This patch provides infrastructure for machine translation of the
regulatory rules database used by CRDA into a C data structure.
It includes code for searching that database as an alternative
to dynamic regulatory rules updates via CRDA.  Most people should
use CRDA instead of this infrastructure, but it provides a better
alternative than the WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY infrastructure (which
can now be removed).

cfg80211: convert bools into flags

2009-11-19T16:08:50+00:00

We've accumulated a number of options for wiphys
which make more sense as flags as we keep adding
more. Convert the existing ones.

wext: refactor

2009-10-07T20:39:43+00:00

Refactor wext to
 * split out iwpriv handling
 * split out iwspy handling
 * split out procfs support
 * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code
   w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT

After this, drivers need to
 - select WIRELESS_EXT	- for wext support
 - select WEXT_PRIV	- for iwpriv support
 - select WEXT_SPY	- for iwspy support

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core
(i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).

wireless: update cfg80211 kconfig entry

2009-09-08T20:31:06+00:00

cfg80211 is now *the* wireless configuration API. Lets also
give a little explanation as to what it is and refer people to
the wireless wiki for more information.

cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable

2009-08-28T18:40:30+00:00

Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.

So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.

And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

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: introduce nl80211 testmode command

2009-07-10T19:01:50+00:00

This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing
and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing
like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.

The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).

I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.

Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the
TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at
http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD
licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their
own internal fabrication and validation tools.

wext: default to y

2009-07-10T19:01:48+00:00

The way I initially thought we could do wireless extensions
is by making all the compat code in cfg80211 be independent
of CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT, but this is turning out to not be
feasible. Therefore, fix the Kconfig help text and make the
option default to yes, so people won't get a nasty surprise
when mac80211 will get rid of its 'select WIRELESS_EXT' any
time now.
