* ath9k: make use of conf_is_ht*() in the rest of the driverLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | Use shiny new conf_is_ht*() helpers, we can later remove ht.enabled if desired. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* ath9k: consolidate arguments on hw resetLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | HW reset calls pass the same variables or structs which we can obtain easily from ah. Although this also applies during channel changes as we will keep around the ath9k_channel passed as an argument for now. We now also now propagate the hw reset errors down. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* ath9k: remove cache of rate preference when using 11g protectionLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | No need to cache when we want to use 2Mbit/s for all protection frames for 802.11g as we can determine that dynamically on ath_buf_set_rate() itself. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* ath9k: Revert fix to TX status reporting for retries and MCS indexJouni Malinen2009-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts "ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS index" because that change ended up breaking ath9k rate control. While the MCS index reporting to mac80211 was indeed fixed by the patch, it did not take into account that the ath9k rate control algorithm was updating private tables based on this index and the index comes through the rate control API call, i.e., based on mac80211 TX status call. In addition, it looks like the "fix" to remove +1 from TX status 'count' field was not correct based on ieee80211_tx_status() implementation that counts the total of count values, but starting from -1, not 0. The TX status reporting for frames using MCS needs to be fixed somehow, but it does not look like there is any easy fix for the ath9k rate control algorithm, so the best option now seems to be to revert the change and bring it back once the rate control code is cleaned up to handle this better.

* ath9k: Remove MAC header pad before reporting TX statusJouni Malinen2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove the possible MAC header pad before reporting TX status to mac80211. This pad is hardware specific operation and should not be exposed outside the driver. This fixes the frame body in monitor interfaces that could be used to check on TX status for transmitted frames. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS indexJouni Malinen2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The count field in struct ieee80211_tx_rate does not include the final successful attempt, so only report retries here. Fix the struct ieee80211_tx_rate::idx field when MCS was used. It is supposed to be the MCS index, not an internal index to the rate control algorithm table.

* ath9k: BH shouldn't be enabled when hardirqs are disabled.Senthil Balasubramanian2008-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback is called. As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code, this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.

* 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.
