* ath9k: Add data structure for supporting virtual radio/wiphy operationJouni Malinen2009-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces on top of each virtual radio). The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary (virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure. Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* ath9k: Fix PTK/GTK handshake timeoutVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | Some APs don't start BA negotiation with the client before it is done with the key handshake in WPA/RSN. With those APs, key handshake times out if EAPOL frames are sent after addba request. So defer the BA negotiation until we are done with tx/rx of all EAPOL frames.

* ath9k: Handle mac80211's RC flags for MCS ratesSujith2009-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | mac80211 notifies the RC algorithm if RTS/CTS and short preamble are needed. The RC flags for MCS rates are currently not handled by mac80211, and ath9k's RC doesn't set the flags either. Fix this. Also, set the rts_cts_rate_idx inside the RC algorithm.

* mac80211: rewrite HT handlingJohannes Berg2008-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've (partially) fixed: * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP, hence has no chance of working as an AP * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers * it generally lets the driver control too much HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently. Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht(). Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs: * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any more since the refactoring * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities, but I see no cleaner solution for now.
