* drivers/net: use __packed annotationEric Dumazet2010-06-03

* b43: Rewrite TX bounce buffer handlingMichael Buesch2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | Do not mess with the original skb, but allocate an independent bouncebuffer. This protects against bad interference with mac80211's assumptions about the skb (which already caused bugs). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg2008-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

* mac80211: move TX info into skb->cbJohannes Berg2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit, a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps is kept outside of the union. A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part of this patch.

* b43: Add more N-PHY stuffMichael Buesch2008-04-08
| | | | | | | | | This adds some minor stuff for N-PHY support. Nothing special. Adds Analog switching and some TODOs for RSSI processing. Just a patch I had floating around for quite some time now.

* b43: Add PIO support for PCMCIA devicesMichael Buesch2008-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices. This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine. On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX. So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that). The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100% CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt. PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* b43: Add QOS supportMichael Buesch2008-03-07
| | | | | | | | This adds QOS support to the b43 driver. QOS can be disabled on driver level with a module parameter for debugging purposes. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* b43: Drop packets that we are not able to encryptMichael Buesch2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must not transmit packets we're not able to encrypt. This fixes a bug where in a tiny timeframe after machine resume packets can get sent unencrypted and might leak information. This also fixes three small resource leakages I spotted while fixing the security problem. Properly deallocate the DMA slots in any DMA allocation error path.

* b43: Add support for new firmwareMichael Buesch2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

* b43: Fix rxheader channel parsingMichael Buesch2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field. The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211. The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.
