p54: fix eeprom parser length sanity checks

2008-03-04T23:36:36Z

When I called p54_parse_eeprom() on a hand-coded structure I managed to make a small mistake with wrap->len which caused a segfault a few lines down when trying to read entry->len. This patch changes the validation code to avoid such problems. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Tested-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

p54: fix EEPROM structure endianness

2008-03-04T23:36:36Z

Since the EEPROM structure is read from hardware, it is always little endian, annotate that in the struct and make sure to convert where applicable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Michael Wu Tested-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

p54: print unknown eeprom fields

2008-02-29T20:41:50Z

This patch allows p54common to print the uknown EEPROM fields, which can help when debugging/testing devices. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

p54: use IEEE 802.11e defaults for initialization

2008-02-29T20:37:14Z

This trival one-liner changes the QoS initialization values to match IEEE 802.11e defaults. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: give burst time in txop rather than 0.1msec units

2008-02-29T20:37:07Z

This changes mac80211 to pass the burst time to conf_tx in txop units rather than 0.1msec units. 0.1msec units are only required by atheros hardware (according to current driver support), all other drivers do other calculations or require the txop value. Therefore, it results in fewer calculations and more precision if we just pass the txop value through to the driver. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W.

cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion

2008-02-29T20:19:32Z

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers

2008-01-28T23:09:36Z

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
