* mac80211: dont use interface indices in driversJohannes Berg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* wireless: make drivers include the TSF RX flag where appropriateJohannes Berg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | These drivers pass full mactime information to the stack, make them indicate this via the new RX_FLAG_TSFT to get mac80211 to show this information in monitor mode.

* [PATCH] p54: Make filter configuration atomicMichael Wu2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | p54_set_filter is now called from configure_filter, which is not allowed to sleep. The filter configuration packet allocation should be atomic now.

* [MAC80211]: add "invalid" interface typeJohannes Berg2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | Since I cannot convince the lazy driver authors (hello Michael) to stop (ab)using the MGMT interface type internally in their drivers, this patch introduces a new _INVALID type especially for their use and changes all affected drivers to use it.

* [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
