* wil6210: use NAPIVladimir Kondratiev2013-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce NAPI for Rx and Tx completion. This fixes packet reordering that happens when Rx handled right in the IRQ: netif_rx puts packet in 'percpu' queue, then network stack fetches packets from 'percpu' queues for processing, with different pattern of queue switching. As result, network stack see packets in different order. This causes hard to understand TCP throughput degradation in about 30min Complete polling if only one packet was processed - this eliminates empty polls that would be otherwise done at the end of each burst Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* wil6210: Fix: Tx stallVladimir Kondratiev2013-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to multi-tx-queue design, wil_start_xmit() used to be executed concurrently for different queues. Then, these transmits delivered to the same queue, creating race. As result, Tx descriptor may be skipped, causing stall in hardware. Convert to single Tx queue fixes it. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* wireless: add new wil6210 802.11ad 60GHz driverVladimir Kondratiev2013-01-04
This adds support for the 60 GHz 802.11ad Wilocity card through a new driver, wil6210. Wilocity implemented the firmware, QCA maintains the device driver. Currently supported: - STA: with security - AP: limited to 1 connected STA, security disabled - Monitor: due to a hardware/firmware limitation either control or non-control frames are monitored Using a STA and AP with this drive, one can assemble a fully functional BSS. Throughput of 1.2Gbps is achieved with iperf. The wil6210 cards have on-board flash memory for the firmware, the cards comes pre-flashed and no firmware download is required.
