40333e4fb4 p54: honour bss_info_changed's short slot time settings
This patch was made on behalf of Johannes request.
"mac80211 and IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME"

Of course, bss_info_changed provides some more useful data.
e.g.: basic_rates, dtim_period, beacon_int and maybe even more.
Everything can be hooked up if it's necessary.

e174961ca1 net: convert print_mac to %pM
This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.

I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

There you go. Yes, it is a genuine problem, if the device's eeprom is screwed really up.

the problem was that some older cards are mis-identified and didn't support

This patch changes the way how p54 decides if it should enable 11a channels

This patch adds the a few lines that went missing in

Essentially: the rx-code wasn't updated and therefore reported the wrong band,

All of the above have been fixed. One question, however, remains: In struct
bootrec, the array "data" is treated in many places as native CPU order, but
it may be little-endian everywhere. As far as I can tell, this driver has only
been used with little-endian hardware.

as one can see on the huge jump, it's very plausible that firmware does not report the

This patch hopefully contains all necessary changes to support

(or: LowerMAC Protocol Rev: 5.5 )

And this is a big win, since:
 * newer firmwares are more stable and reliable than the old ones.
 * no problems anymore with packages > 1399 octets (without lowering the MTU).
 * monitor mode finally works on USB for more than just a few seconds.

Ever wondered why the signal was so bad with p54 compared to madwifi, or intel?

Well, if you have revision 1 rssi calibration curve points in your EEPROM, then wonder no more.
The firmware wants a extra 1 byte padding for every curve point. But someone forgot to put
them into the EEPROM's data structure...

So now, big question: what happens when we blindly "memcpy" these data points?

If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function
the skb will be reused for new frames...

But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into
the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs.

Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue,
or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is

for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed

552fe53f48 p54: fix skb->cb tx info conversion
When I moved the TX info into skb->cb apparently I forgot to change a
few places to put the p54-internal data into info->driver_data rather
than skb->cb. This should fix it.

e253008360 mac80211: use multi-queue master netdevice
This patch updates mac80211 and drivers to be multi-queue aware and
use that instead of the internal queue mapping. Also does a number
of cleanups in various pieces of the code that fall out and reduces
internal mac80211 state size.

e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

2e92e6f2c5 mac80211: use rate index in TX control
This patch modifies struct ieee80211_tx_control to give band
info and the rate index (instead of rate pointers) to drivers.
This mostly serves to reduce the TX control structure size to
make it fit into skb->cb so that the fragmentation code can
put it there and we can think about passing it to drivers that
way in the future.

The rt2x00 driver update was done by Ivo, thanks.

36d6825b91 mac80211: let drivers wake but not start queues
Having drivers start queues is just confusing, their ->start()
callback can block and do whatever is necessary, so let mac80211
start queues and have drivers wake queues when necessary (to get
packets flowing again right away.)

566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

e100bb64bf mac80211: QoS related cleanups
This
 * makes the queue number passed to drivers a u16
   (as it will be with skb_get_queue_mapping)
 * removes the useless queue number defines
 * splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
 * removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters
 * removes some dead QoS code
 * removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
   so that the drivers now never get a queue number
   bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
   for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
   conf_tx.

array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename
the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take
the array directly.
