2015-06-10mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg1-1/+1
As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

2015-04-24mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISCJohannes Berg1-2/+1
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-01-08carl9170: Only specify interface combinations if more than one interface is ↵Christian Lamparter1-10/+19
possible Otherwise carl9170 triggers a warning in cfg80211, from net/wireless/core.c /* Combinations with just one interface aren't real */ if (WARN_ON(c->max_interfaces < 2)) Note: The number of supported interfaces is set by the carl9170 firmware. The default number of supported interfaces for all current firmwares is 2. Therefore this warning can only be observed with custom firmwares.

2013-01-08carl9170: advertise support for TDLSChristian Lamparter1-1/+5
Based on a quick test [ath9k and carl9170], TDLS seemed to be working fine. And while we are at it, let's move the wiphy feature flag set from carl9170_alloc into a single place in carl9170_fw.

2013-01-02carl9170: fix -EINVAL bailout during init with !CONFIG_MAC80211_MESHChristian Lamparter1-1/+5
Sean reported that as of 3.7, his AR9170 device no longer works because the driver fails during initialization. He noted this is due to: "In carl9170/fw.c, ar->hw->wiphy is tagged with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT support if the firmware has Content after Beacon Queuing. This is both in interface_modes and the only iface_combinations entry. If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, ieee80211_register_hw removes NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT from interface_modes, but not iface_combinations. wiphy_register then checks to see if every interface type in every interface combination is in interface_modes. NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT was removed, so you get a WARN_ON warning and it returns -EINVAL, giving up." Unfortunately, the iface_combination (types) feature bitmap in ieee80211_iface_limit is part of a const member in the ieee80211_iface_combination struct. Hence, the MESH_POINT feature flag can't be masked by wiphy_register in the same way as interface_modes in ieee80211_register_hw.

This is pretty pointless. Lets kill this to stop people from thinking that its actually used. Maybe we should go on a crusade and kill this completely from the kernel.

2012-08-06carl9170: Add support for NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT interfacesJavier Lopez1-0/+1
This patch contains following modifications: - Add mesh capabilities on fw.c to permit creation of mesh interfaces using this driver. - Modify carl9170_set_operating_mode, to use AP-style beaconing with mesh interfaces. - Allow beacon updates for NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT type in carl9170_handle_command_response. - Add NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT case on carl9170_op_add_interfaces to support mesh/ap/sta virtual interface combinations.

2012-07-11carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruptionChristian Lamparter1-0/+3
This patch adds an alternative tx status path for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK. Without this patch, the stack would constantly resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the receiver stack, this could lead to: - "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the stale BAR would reset the sequence each time. - lots of reorder releases. - ...

2012-04-10mac80211: don't always advertise remain-on-channelJohannes Berg1-0/+2
Not all devices are really capable of implementing remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW, as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes while associated. Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel implemented in the driver/device. Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right now since those definitely have to have it working.

2012-01-24carl9170: remove eeprom data injection optionChristian Lamparter1-33/+0
In the early days, this was a quite useful software feature for testing different regdomains and chain configurations without adding debugfs cruft into the driver. Nowadays, the driver's phy code seems to be stable and there's no need for it anymore. Therefore I decided to removed altogether.

2010-10-05carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter1-0/+7
The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.
