mac80211: add a flag to indicate CCK support for HT clients

2013-08-21T13:03:25+00:00

brcm80211 cannot handle sending frames with CCK rates as part of an A-MPDU session. Other drivers may have issues too. Set the flag in all drivers that have been tested with CCK rates. This fixes a reported brcmsmac regression introduced in commit ef47a5e4f1aaf1d0e2e6875e34b2c9595897bef6 "mac80211/minstrel_ht: fix cck rate sampling" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.10 Reported-by: Tom Gundersen Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: track AP's beacon rate and give it to the driver

2013-06-13T09:58:47+00:00

Track the AP's beacon rate in the scan BSS data and in the interface configuration to let the drivers know which rate the AP is using. This information may be used by drivers, in our case to let the firmware optimise beacon RX. Signed-off-by: Alexander Bondar Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Use suitable semantics for beacon availability indication

2013-06-05T07:12:20+00:00

Currently beacon availability upon association is marked by have_beacon flag of assoc_data structure that becomes unavailable when association completes. However beacon availability indication is required also after association to inform a driver. Currently dtim_period parameter is used for this purpose. Move have_beacon flag to another structure, persistant throughout a interface's life cycle. Use suitable sematics for beacon availability indication.

mac80211: add STBC flag for radiotap

2013-05-24T10:07:25+00:00

Some chips can tell us if received frame was encoded with STBC or not. To make this information available in user space we can use updated radiotap specification: http://www.radiotap.org/defined-fields/MCS This patch will set number of STBC encoded spatial streams (Nss). The HAVE_STBC flag should be provided by driver. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: improve the rate control API

2013-04-22T14:16:41+00:00

Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
