* mac80211: fix RX pathJohannes Berg2009-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | My previous patch ("mac80211: remove mixed-cell and userspace MLME code") was too obvious to me, so obvious that a stupid bug crept in. The IBSS RX function must be invoked for IBSS, of course, not anything != IBSS.

* mac80211: track beacons separately from the rx path activityKalle Valo2009-03-281-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Separate beacon and rx path tracking in preparation for the beacon filtering support. At the same time change ieee80211_associated() to look a bit simpler. Probe requests are now sent only after IEEE80211_PROBE_IDLE_TIME, which is now set to 60 seconds. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: decrease execution of the associated timerKalle Valo2009-03-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the timer is triggering every two seconds (IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL). Decrease the timer to only trigger during data idle periods to avoid waking up CPU unnecessary. The timer will still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later. There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity on the data path. This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the idea. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg2009-02-271-15/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

* mac80211: restrict aggregation to supported interface modesJohannes Berg2009-02-131-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | We can only support aggregation on AP/STA right now. HT isn't defined for IBSS, WDS or MESH. In the WDS/MESH cases it's not clear what to put into the IBSS field, and we don't handle that in the code at all. Also fix the code to handle VLAN correctly.

* mac80211: use ps-poll when dynamic power save mode is disabledKalle Valo2009-02-131-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more data bit in the returned data frames. Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic power save. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: remove HW_SIGNAL_DBJohannes Berg2009-02-091-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Giving the signal in dB isn't much more useful to userspace than giving the signal in unspecified units. This removes some radiotap information for zd1211 (the only driver using this flag), but it helps a lot for getting cfg80211-based scanning which won't support dB, and zd1211 being dB is a little fishy anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211, in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add checks for the master interface all over the config handlers. This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer. Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.
