* mac80211: Fix HT channel selectionSujith2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | HT management is done differently for AP and STA modes, unify to just the ->config() callback since HT is fundamentally a PHY property and cannot be per-BSS. Rename enum nl80211_sec_chan_offset as nl80211_channel_type to denote the channel type ( NO_HT, HT20, HT40+, HT40- ).

* nl80211: Change max TX power to be in mBm instead of dBmJouni Malinen2008-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | In order to be consistent with NL80211_ATTR_POWER_RULE_MAX_EIRP, change NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_MAX_TX_POWER to use mBm and U32 instead of dBm and U8. This is a userspace interface change, but the previous version had not yet been pushed upstream and there are no userspace programs using this yet, so there is justification to get this change in as long as it goes in before the previous version gets out.

* cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutionsLuis R. Rodriguez2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and* they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure, providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().

* cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d supportLuis R. Rodriguez2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment (indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE. To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed on the same country. A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two different countries. In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another intersection will be performed. CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA present. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* cfg80211: call_crda() won't tell us if CRDA was presentLuis R. Rodriguez2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kobject_uevent_env() can return an error but it just tells us if the uvent was built/sent or not, it doesn't tell us anything about what happened in userspace, whether the udev rule was present nor does it tell us if CRDA was present or not. So remove the informative complaint about it assuming it will tell us such things. Note that you can determine if CRDA is present after loading cfg80211 by using: is_old_static_regdom(cfg80211_regdomain) but this doesn't account for possible user install after initial boot, and also for when the user uses the static EU regulatory domain.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | So far the __set_regdom() code is pretty generic as the intersection case is fairly straight forward; this will however change when 802.11d support is added so lets separate intersection code for now in preparation for 802.11d support.

* cfg80211: Add regulatory domain intersection capabilityLuis R. Rodriguez2008-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are certain scenerios where we require intersecting two regulatory domains. This adds intersection support. When we enable 802.11d support we will use this to intersect the regulatory domain from the AP's country IE and what our regulatory agent believes is correct for a country. This patch enables intersection for now in the case where the last regdomain was set by a country IE which was parsed and the user then wants to set the regulatory domain. Since we don't support country IE parsing yet this code path will not be hit, however this allows us to pave the way for 11d support. Intersection code has been tested in userspace with CRDA.

* wireless: clean up regulatory ignore_request functionJohannes Berg2008-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per- wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply). I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because it makes only two things mandatory: * starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information (this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch) * a STA must adopt the country information (we already have the framework for this) But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.
