* [PATCH] softmac: fix SIOCSIWAPJohannes Berg2006-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | There are some bugs in the current implementation of the SIOCSIWAP wext, for example that when you do it twice and it fails, it may still try another access point for some reason. This patch fixes this by introducing a new flag that tells the association code that the bssid that is in use was fixed by the user and shouldn't be deviated from.

* [PATCH] softmac: report when scanning has finishedJohannes Berg2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | Make softmac report a scan event when scanning has finished, that way userspace can wait for the event to happen instead of polling for the results. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] softmac: fix event sendingJohannes Berg2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | Softmac is sending custom events to userspace already, but it should _really_ be sending the right WEXT events instead. This patch fixes that.

* [PATCH] softmac: handle iw_mode properlyjohannes@sipsolutions.net2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | Below patch allows using iw_mode auto with softmac. bcm43xx forces managed so this bug wasn't noticed earlier, but this was one of the problems why zd1211 didn't work earlier.

* [PATCH] softmac: dont send out packets while scanningjohannes@sipsolutions.net2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | Seems we forgot to stop the queue while scanning. Better do that so we don't transmit packets all the time during background scanning. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] softmac: return -EAGAIN from getscan while scanningjohannes@sipsolutions.net2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the results.

* [PATCH] softmac: fix spinlock recursion on reassocMichael Buesch2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a spinlock recursion on receiving a reassoc request. On reassoc, the softmac calls back into the driver. This results in a driver lock recursion. This schedules the assoc workqueue, instead of calling it directly. Probably, we should defer the _whole_ management frame processing to a tasklet or workqueue, because it does several callbacks into the driver. That is dangerous. This fix should go into linus's tree, before 2.6.17 is released, because it is remote exploitable (DoS by crash). Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* [PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.David Woodhouse2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP. This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people. When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at 11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

* [PATCH] softmac: reduce scan dwell timeDavid Woodhouse2006-03-27

* [PATCH] Minor (janitorial) change to ieee80211Larry Finger2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | The attached patch removes a potential problem from ieee80211_wx.c, by changing the name of routine ipw2100_translate_scan to ieee80211_translate_scan. The problem is minor as the routine is declared static; however, if it were made global, it would pollute the namespace. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* [PATCH] Restore channel setting after scan.David Woodhouse2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | After a scan, we weren't switching back to the original channel if we were associated with an AP. So NetworkManager's periodic scans would disrupt connectivity until the ESSID was manually set again. Fix that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_rx_mgt Version 2 of the patch. Added checks for version 0 and proper from/to DS bits. Even in promisc mode we won't receive packets from another BSSes. bcm43xx_rx() contains code to filter out packets from foreign BSSes and decide whether to call ieee80211_rx or ieee80211_rx_mgt.

* [PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets.James Ketrenos2006-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even if they were received on a channel other than that which the network exists on. This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and 3, but at much lower signal levels. If scanning was done sequentially, this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix QoS is not active even the network and the card is QOS enabled. The problem is we pass the wrong ieee80211_network address to ipw_handle_beacon/ipw_handle_probe_response, thus the ieee80211_network->qos_data.active will not be set, causing the driver not sending QoS frames at all.

* | [PATCH] ieee80211_geo.c: remove frivolous BUG_ON'sPete Zaitcev2006-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have come to consider BUG_ON generally harmful. The idea of an assert is to prevent a program to execute past a point where its state is known erroneous, thus preventing it from dealing more damage to the data (or hiding the traces of malfunction). The problem is, in kernel this harm has to be balanced against the harm of forced reboot. The last straw was our softmac tree, where "iwlist eth1 scan" causes a lockup. It is absolutely frivolus and provides no advantages a normal assert has to provide. In fact, doing this impedes debugging. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
