* rt2x00: Antenna diversity does not work in 2.6.35Lars Ericsson2010-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test if antenna diversity is at all enabled uses a local variable 'flags' to prepare the test condition, but uses 'ant->flags' when the test is evaluated. The effect is that the diversity evaluation will never start. I can see two solutions, use the 'flag' in the test condition or revert the local flag change. My attached patch took alternative two. Then the evaluation start but it will still not switch antenna. The problem is a code section in rt2x00lib_config_antenna (). The effect of that code section is that any change the diversity function perform will be effectively shorten and no antenna selection command issued. The attached patch will filter out any ANTENNA_SW_DIVERSITY setting but forward all other Signed-off-by: Lars Ericsson <lars_ericsson@telia.com> Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Implement watchdog monitoringIvo van Doorn2010-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without being released by the hardware. By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs. For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved even though this interruption. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Fix vgc_level_reg handlingIvo van Doorn2010-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently vgc_level_reg and vgc_level are equal to eachother, while the purpose of vgc_level_reg is the value last written to the register and is remembered through link tuning resets. The vgc_level is the currently active level, which is reset during link tuning resets. The usage of these variables depends on the drivers, some drivers need both, while others need only one of the two. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Disable link tuning while scanningIvo van Doorn2010-07-12
| | | | | | | | | While scanning the link tuner must be disabled. Otherwise it will interfere with receiving all beacons for each channel due to changing sensitivity levels. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* rt2x00: Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNINGIvo van Doorn2010-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNING to DRIVER_SUPPORT_LINK_TUNING Link tuning support is not only based on EEPROM decisions, but also if the device actually supports it. Currently only rt2500usb doesn't support link tuning because of hardware problems. But rt2800usb is also suspected of having problems with link tuning.

* rt2x00: Disable link tuning in AP modeHelmut Schaa2010-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Since the link tuning is based on average RSSI values taken from all received frames it doesn't make sense to enable it in AP mode where every associated station provides independent RSSI values. Furthermore the legacy drivers don't enable link tuning in AP mode as well.

* rt2x00: Update copyright statements.Gertjan van Wingerde2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mentioned on the linux-wireless mailing list, the current copyright statements in the rt2x00 are meaningless, as the rt2x00 project is not even a formal legal entity. Therefore it is better to replace the existing copyright statements with copyright statements for the people that actually wrote the code. Note: Updated to the best of my knowledge with respect to who contributed considerable amounts of code.

* rt2x00: Fix quality houskeeping for software diversityLars Ericsson2009-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Antanna quality statistics is not handled correctly, which leads to software diversity being shutdown completly. The main problem is that during antenna diversity statistics can be reset resulting in loosing the signal strength just before evaluation. rssi history is not updated correctly leading to incorrect comparison material for basing antenna switching on.

* mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez2009-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Don't alter rt2x00dev->default_antLars Ericsson2009-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | rt2x00dev->default_ant should be initialized once by the driver, and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna() was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation. Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied.

* rt2x00: Fix SW antenna diversityIvo van Doorn2009-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Software antenna tuning is broken because of an function ordering problem during rt2x00link_tuner(). rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() rt2x00leds_led_quality() rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() will reset the quality TX/RX counters, however rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() requires the RX counter to see what RSSI value must be used for a particular antenna. We can't change the ordering since rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() might reset other statistics which are needed by the function called earlier. Move the reset of the quality TX/RX counters into a seperate function and move the call to after rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity(). Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rt2x00: Restrict interface between rt2x00link and driversIvo van Doorn2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restrict drivers to only access link_qual structure during link tuning. The contents of these fields are for the drivers and all fields are allowed to be changed to values the driver considers correct. This means that some fields need to be moved outside of this structure to restrict access only to rt2x00link itself. This allows some code to be moved outside of the rt2x00.h header and into rt2x00link.c. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
