| * cfg80211: do not pass -EALREADY to userspace on regdomain change requestLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29

| * cfg80211: Allow for strict regulatory settingsLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows drivers to request strict regulatory settings to be applied to its devices. This is desirable for devices where proper calibration and compliance can only be gauranteed for for the device's programmed regulatory domain. Regulatory domain settings will be ignored until the device's own regulatory domain is properly configured. If no regulatory domain is received only the world regulatory domain will be applied -- if OLD_REG (default to "US") is not enabled. If OLD_REG behaviour is not acceptable to drivers they must update their wiphy with a custom reuglatory prior to wiphy registration. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| * cfg80211: pass more detailed regulatory request information on reg_notifier()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers may need more information than just who set the last regulatory domain, as such lets just pass the last regulatory_request receipt. To do this we need to move out to headers struct regulatory_request, and enum environment_cap. While at it lets add documentation for enum environment_cap. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This ensures that the initial REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE upon wiphy registration respects the wiphy->custom_regulatory setting. Without this and if OLD_REG is disabled (which will be default soon as we remove it) the wiphy->custom_regulatory is simply ignored. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We ignore regulatory hints for the same alpha2 if we already have processed the same alpha2 on the current regulatory domain.

| * nl80211: New command for adding extra IE(s) into management framesJouni Malinen2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new nl80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE, can be used to add arbitrary IE data into the end of management frames. The interface allows extra IEs to be configured for each management frame subtype, but only some of them (ProbeReq, ProbeResp, Auth, (Re)AssocReq, Deauth, Disassoc) are currently accepted in mac80211 implementation. This makes it easier to implement IEEE 802.11 extensions like WPS and FT that add IE(s) into some management frames. In addition, this can be useful for testing and experimentation purposes.

| * cfg80211: allow multiple driver regulatory_hints()Luis R. Rodriguez2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We add support for multiple drivers to provide a regulatory_hint() on a system by adding a wiphy specific regulatory domain cache. This allows drivers to keep around cache their own regulatory domain structure queried from CRDA. We handle conflicts by intersecting multiple regulatory domains, each driver will stick to its own regulatory domain though unless a country IE has been received and processed. If the user already requested a regulatory domain and a driver requests the same regulatory domain then simply copy to the driver's regd the same regulatory domain and do not call CRDA, do not collect $200.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes two issues with the sanity check loop when processing the country IE: 1. Do not use frequency for the current subband channel check, this was a big fat typo. 2.

* cfg80211: Fix parsed country IE info for 5 GHzLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The country IE number of channels on 5 GHz specifies the number of 5 GHz channels, not the number of sequential channel numbers. For example, if in a country IEs if the first channel given is 36 and the number of channels passed is 4 then the individual channel numbers defined for the 5 GHz PHY by these parameters are: 36, 40, 44, 48 not: 36, 37, 38, 39 See: http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* cfg80211: Fix regression with 11d on bandsLuis R. Rodriguez2009-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new 802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified in this document: http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information through the 802.11 country information element and then the current intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow 5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the same band the channel is on. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* 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.

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.
