wifi: move raycs, wl3501 and rndis_wlan to legacy directory

2023-03-13T13:42:14+00:00

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the old drivers drivers left in the directory to a new "legacy" directory. I did consider adding CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_LEGACY like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as these are really old drivers and hopefully we get to remove them soon. There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230227121732.8967-3-kvalo@kernel.org

wifi: move mac80211_hwsim and virt_wifi to virtual directory

2023-03-13T13:42:14+00:00

To clean up drivers/net/wireless move the virtual drivers to a new virtual directory. I did consider adding CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_VIRTUAL like other vendors have but then dropped the idea as we are not real drivers. There should be no changes in compilation or in Kconfig options, merely moving files. The order in menuconfig is slightly changed, the virtual drivers are now last in the list.

wireless: add plfxlc driver for pureLiFi X, XL, XC devices

2022-04-25T12:30:42+00:00

This is a driver for pureLiFi X, XL, XC devices which use light to transmit data, so they are not compatible with normal Wi-Fi devices. The driver uses separate NL80211_BAND_LC band to distinguish from Wi-Fi. The driver is based on 802.11 softMAC Architecture and uses native 802.11 for configuration and management. Station and Ad-Hoc modes are supported. The driver is compiled and tested in ARM, x86 architectures and compiled in powerpc architecture. This driver implementation has been based on the zd1211rw driver.

wireless: remove CONFIG_WIRELESS_WDS

2020-11-10T08:39:08+00:00

WDS has long been superseded by 4-addr AP/client and lacks such fundamental features like encryption, capability negotiation, and similar. As such, it was basically always unusable as is. Back in 2016, in commit 8f20542386c5 ("wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default") I disabled it and made the Kconfig option only available under CONFIG_EXPERT to turn it back on. Since then, nobody has complained about that, and given the severe limitations with the code, it's unlikely anyone would have a reason to. Remove the Kconfig option now, so we can clean up the associated code in follow-up patches.

Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-next-2020-07-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next

2020-07-21T00:52:50+00:00

Kalle Valo says: ==================== wireless-drivers-next patches for v5.9 First set of patches for v5.9. This comes later than usual as I was offline for two weeks. The biggest change here is moving Microchip wilc1000 driver from staging. There was an immutable topic branch with one commit moving the whole driver and the topic branch was pulled both to staging-next and wireless-drivers-next. At the moment the only reported conflict is in MAINTAINERS file, so I'm hoping the move should go smoothly. Other notable changes are ath11k getting 6 GHz band support and rtw88 supporting RTL8821CE. And there's also the usual fixes, API changes and cleanups all over. Major changes: wilc1000 * move from drivers/staging to drivers/net/wireless/microchip ath11k * add 6G band support * add spectral scan support iwlwifi * make FW reconfiguration quieter by not using warn level rtw88 * add support for RTL8821CE ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

wilc1000: move wilc driver out of staging

2020-06-26T05:46:46+00:00

WILC1000 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT link controller module. The WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface. WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full driver review has helped in achieving the current state. The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
