* b43: Workaround circular locking in hw-tkip key update callbackMichael Buesch2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TKIP key update callback is called from the RX path, where the driver mutex is already locked. This results in a circular locking bug. Avoid this by removing the lock. Johannes noted that there is a separate bug: The callback still breaks on SDIO hardware, because SDIO hardware access needs to sleep, but we are not allowed to sleep in the callback due to mac80211's RCU locking.

* ath9k: improve max rate retry handlingFelix Fietkau2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames. This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary packet loss.

The aggregation (and possibly other) station flags were not being set, which limited the size of aggregation blocks and reduced throughput at high rates. >From Johannes: """ Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes while associated, we don't get a full new RXON. Therefore, we don't re-set the rxon-station either. However, under some circumstances that apparently have gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the station and then switch to an HT channel type. Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information. However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this, because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the ht_supported member set to false.

* iwlwifi: cleanup spectrum measurement command supportReinette Chatre2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting. Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains as it has been enabled all the time. In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig option and make this command always supported. The code added by this enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement request via sysfs. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* iwlwifi: module parameter to enable/disable bt co-existWey-Yi Guy2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation. Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames can be found with wireless sniffer tools. On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active" module parameter to "false" Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition genericReinette Chatre2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This seems to be an efficient solution. It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945 broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise. To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication, - The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on the statistics notification from the uCode. - It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio. During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio reset and get back to normal operation state. The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is not in associated state. Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the internal scan from user mode.
