* carl9170: connect to 11w protected networksChristian Lamparter2012-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, it was not possible to connect to networks which requires 11w to be supported by the stations. While the documentation hints that there's some hardware support for offloading MFP "decryption", this simple implementation relies on the mac80211 stack to do the actual crypto operations.

* carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruptionChristian Lamparter2012-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an alternative tx status path for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK. Without this patch, the stack would constantly resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the receiver stack, this could lead to: - "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the stale BAR would reset the sequence each time. - lots of reorder releases. - ...

* carl9170: fix allmulticast modeNicolas Cavallari2011-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie, if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else it will reenable multicast filtering. But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set. This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in ad-hoc mode. This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

* carl9170: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clientsChristian Lamparter2011-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.

* mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer sizeJohannes Berg2011-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0 instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it isn't possible to honour this request. In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That way the driver can limit the number of subframes in aggregates appropriately. Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the addition of the new argument -- they all need to be updated separately to use this variable!

* carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.
