* rtl8187: Fix transmission count sent to mac80211Larry Finger2008-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the commit entitled "mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API", the meaning of the packet transmit count was changed from the number of retries to the total number. In driver rtl8187, this change was missed.

* rtl8187: Remove module warning and dependence on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALLarry Finger2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | After considerable testing, the initial fears that the driver might damage some flavors of RTL8187B hardware seem to be groundless. Accordingly, the logged warning is removed. In addition, Kconfig is changed to remove the dependence on EXPERIMENTAL.

* rtl8187: feedback transmitted packets using tx close descriptor for 8187BHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Realtek 8187B has a receive command queue to feedback beacon interrupt and transmitted packet status. Use it to feedback mac80211 about status of transmitted packets. Unfortunately in the course of testing I found that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only lowest bits.

* rtl8187: fix 8187B throughput regressionHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Hin-Tak Leung reported that after the change "rtl8187: add short slot handling for 8187B" his RTL8187B started to give low throughput on network transfers. Turns out that the SIFS setting used isn't ok, it doesn't look to be the real aSIFSTime, using the "magical" 0x22 value like on other 818x variants as the vendor does too fixes the issue.

* rtl8180: adapt for deprecated IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME flagJohn W. Linville2008-11-21
| | | | | | | | This updates rtl8180 handling for short slot after "mac80211: fix short slot handling". Only rtl8180_rtl8225 actually had code for handling short slot times, so the other RF devices are untouched by this change. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
