* cfg80211: clean up includesJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h) and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to a new header net/regulatory.h. The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections. There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling and some very minor documentation fixes. I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly in a file that only had my copyright line.

* mac80211: convert to cfg80211 IBSS APIJohannes Berg2009-04-22

* cfg80211/nl80211: add IBSS APIJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers. The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS. The nl80211 API requires * an SSID * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS has to be created It optionally supports * a flag to fix the channel * a fixed BSSID The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it also caches values when the interface is down and instructs the driver to join when the interface is set up.

* rtl8187: Implement TX/RX blink for LEDLarry Finger2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned back on. Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

* mac80211: Allow scan to be requested in AP modeJouni Malinen2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can allow scan requests in AP mode as long as the interface has not yet been configured to send out Beacon frames (or if beaconing has been disabled prior to the scan request). This makes it easier to scan for neighboring BSSes during AP initialization and makes it possible to run a scan without setting the interface down, if needed. Without this change, the only available option would be to set the interface down, move into station mode, and set the interface up, prior to requesting the scan.

* mac80211: enable PS by defaultJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable PS by default (depending on Kconfig) -- rely on drivers to control the level using pm_qos. Due to the previous patch we turn off PS when necessary due to latency requirements. This has a Kconfig symbol so people can, if they really want, configure the default in their kernels. We may want to keep it at "default y" only in wireless-testing for a while. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: implement beacon filtering in softwareJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering, there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then in the future possibly userspace). This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs by their OUI. In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can then implement the best they can do while software implements it fully. It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit; Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result updates could quickly creep into code.

* mac80211: disable powersave if pm_qos asks for low latencyJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | When an application asks for a latency lower than the beacon interval there's nothing we can do -- we need to stay awake and not have the AP buffer frames for us. Add code to automatically calculate this constraint in mac80211 so drivers need not concern themselves with it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: improve powersave implementationJohannes Berg2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you have multiple virtual interfaces the current implementation requires setting them up properly from userspace, which is undesirable when we want to default to power save mode. Keep track of powersave requested from userspace per managed mode interface, and only enable powersave globally when exactly one managed mode interface is active and has powersave turned on. Second, only start the dynPS timer when PS is turned on, and properly turn it off when PS is turned off. Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code. Finally, also reorder the code and refactor the code that enables PS or the dynps timer instead of having it copied in two places.
