* orinoco: Clear dangling pointer on hardware busyarmadefuego@gmail.com2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | On hardware busy the scan request pointer should be cleared, as higher levels will release. This avoids a crash when that pointer is erroneously used later. Signed-off-by: Joseph J. Gunn <armadefuego@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handlingJohannes Berg2010-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* orinoco: convert scanning to cfg80211David Kilroy2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the custom scan cache used by orinoco. We also have to avoid calling cfg80211_scan_done from the hard interrupt, so we offload the entirety of scan processing to a workqueue. This may behave strangely if you start scanning just prior to suspending... Signed-off-by: David Kilroy <kilroyd@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* orinoco: initiate cfg80211 conversionDavid Kilroy2009-07-10
Initialise and register a wiphy. Store the orinoco_private structure in the new wiphy, and use the net_device private area to store the wireless_dev. This results in a change to the way we navigate from a net_device to the driver private orinoco_private, which we encapsulate in the inline function ndev_priv. Most of the remaining calls to netdev_priv are thus replaced by ndev_priv. We can immediately rely on cfg80211 to handle SIOCGIWNAME, so orinoco_ioctl_getname is removed.
