* cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| * net/wireless/Kconfig: clarify the description for CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFSFlorian Mickler2008-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current setup with hal and NetworkManager will fail to work without newest hal version with this config option disabled. Although this will solve itself by time, at the moment it is dishonest to say that we don't know any software that uses it, if there are many many people relying on old hal versions.

* | cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modesLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even if adding such an interface might fail later because of concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that. For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode when they add it.

* net/wireless/nl80211.c: fix endless Netlink callback loop.Julius Volz2008-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone can actually test this (or refute my logic). Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit into the message): 1. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 0 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 2. invocation: Start: idx = 0, start = 1 Loop: condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0 3. invocation: Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback. Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.

* | cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg2008-02-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

* [WIRELESS] WEXT: Fix userspace corruption on 64-bit.David S. Miller2007-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit systems sizeof(struct ifreq) is 8 bytes larger than sizeof(struct iwreq). For GET calls, the wireless extension code copies back into userspace using sizeof(struct ifreq) but userspace and elsewhere only allocates a "struct iwreq". Thus, this copy writes past the end of the iwreq object and corrupts whatever sits after it in memory. Fix the copy_to_user() length. This particularly hurts the compat case because the wireless compat code uses compat_alloc_userspace() and right after this allocated buffer is the current bottom of the user stack, and that's what gets overwritten by the copy_to_user() call.
