* llc: use dev_hard_headerOctavian Purdila2009-12-26
| | | | | | | | | Using dev_hard_header allows us to use LLC with VLANs and potentially other Ethernet/TokernRing specific encapsulations. It also removes code duplication between LLC and Ethernet/TokenRing core code. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This turned out to be racy, because userspace might deauth while the AP is also sending a deauth frame, so the warning was removed. However, in that case we should not tell userspace about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first", where "first" means it came to cfg80211 first.

It is a normal case when user unload the module or shutdown the system while still associated with the AP, since uCode already on the way down, it will not reply the sensitivity write request; report error in this case will give misleading information, remove the error checking here to provide a clean shutdown if no other error detected.

| * iwlwifi: on-screen event log dumpWey-Yi Guy2009-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature enables the on-screen uCode event log dump. The original method will append the event log to syslog; with this capability, we also enable the user to write script to capture the events which provide additional flexibility to help uCode debugging Method 1) change to debugfs directory (sys/kernel/debug/phyX/iwlagn/data) 2) #cat log_event Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * iwlwifi: add continuous uCode event log capabilityWey-Yi Guy2009-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide continuous uCode event logging function. uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode, by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function. There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can help to debug the uCode related issues. Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log: step 1: enable ucode trace timer "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing" step 2: start ftrace sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d step 3: stop ftrace sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat step 4: disable ucode trace timer "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing" use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace. This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer NICs.
