cfg80211: basic support for PBSS network type

2016-02-24T08:04:34+00:00

PBSS (Personal Basic Service Set) is a new BSS type for DMG networks. It is similar to infrastructure BSS, having an AP-like entity called PCP (PBSS Control Point), but it has few differences. PBSS support is mandatory for 11ad devices. Add support for PBSS by introducing a new PBSS flag attribute. The PBSS flag is used in the START_AP command to request starting a PCP instead of an AP, and in the CONNECT command to request connecting to a PCP instead of an AP.

cfg80211: stop critical protocol session upon disconnect event

2016-02-23T09:41:24+00:00

When user-space has started a critical protocol session and a disconnect event occurs, the rdev::crit_prot_nlportid remains set. This caused a subsequent NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTO_START to fail (-EBUSY). Fix this by clearing the rdev attribute and call .crit_proto_stop() callback upon disconnect event.

cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnect

2015-05-26T13:21:27+00:00

When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect(). This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant, for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function. Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at false, which is the current behaviour. For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

cfg80211: send extended capabilities IE in connect

2015-04-07T11:56:45+00:00

If the connect request from userspace didn't include an extended capabilities IE, create one using the driver capabilities. This fixes VHT associations, since those need to set the operating mode notification capability. Reviewed-by: Gregory Greenman Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: add bss_type and privacy arguments in cfg80211_get_bss()

2015-03-03T14:56:01+00:00

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band. The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP". In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val" no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.) The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

When freeing the connect keys, clear the memory to avoid having the key material stick around in memory "forever". Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: constify more pointers in the cfg80211 API

2014-05-19T15:53:16+00:00

This also propagates through the drivers. The orinoco driver uses the cfg80211 API structs for internal bookkeeping, and so needs a (void *) cast that removes the const - but that's OK because it allocates those pointers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
