2012-10-18wireless: remove duplicate enum ieee80211_eid definitionsArend van Spriel
WLAN_EID_WPA and WLAN_EID_GENERIC mapped to the same value as WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC. The last one being more in line with the standard specification. Removing WLAN_EID_WPA and WLAN_EID_GENERIC as there are no longer drivers using these.

2012-10-18wireless: gelic: make use of WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFICArend van Spriel
The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for the same thing in enum ieee80211_eid due to historic changes: /* Information Element IDs */ enum ieee80211_eid { : WLAN_EID_WPA = 221, WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221, WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221, : }; The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the other two definitions are better not used.

2012-10-18mac80211: Notify new IBSS network creationSujith Manoharan
Initialization of beacon transmission in IBSS mode depends on whether a new BSS is being created or joined. When joining an existing IBSS network, beaconing has to start only after a TSF-sync has happened - this is explained in 11.1.4. Introduce a new parameter in the BSS information structure to indicate creator/joiner mode.

Use NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY flag in mac80211's scan state machine to prematurely terminate scan operations if outbound traffic collides.

2012-10-18cfg80211: add support for flushing old scan resultsSam Leffler
Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume). For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion of a scan; i.e. it does not happen if the scan is aborted. For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime when we get new scan results. This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by unsetting the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSH flag.

2012-10-18wireless: use OR operation to set wiphy featuresJohannes Berg
The next patch will introduce a flag that is set by default in cfg80211 so drivers and mac80211 need to use |= to set features they have so that they don't clear the already-set feature. We could set the flag in wiphy_register() instead of wiphy_new() to avoid this patch, but then the drivers couldn't *unset* flags they don't want to use even though the implementation is generic.

2012-10-17mac80211: connect with HT20 if HT40 is not permittedJohannes Berg
Some changes to fix issues with HT40 APs in Korea and follow-up changes to allow using HT40 even if the local regulatory database disallows it caused issues with iwlwifi (and could cause issues with other devices); iwlwifi firmware would assert if you tried to connect to an AP that has an invalid configuration (e.g. using HT40- on channel 140.) Fix this, while avoiding the "Korean AP" issue by disabling HT40 and advertising HT20 to the AP when connecting.

2012-10-17mac80211: track needed RX chains for channel contextsJohannes Berg
On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-17mac80211: use channel contextsJohannes Berg
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

2012-10-16mac80211: track whether to use channel contextsJohannes Berg
Depending on the driver, channel contexts may be used or not. If they are used, the driver must have support for hardware scan and remain-on-channel; otherwise the driver must not advertise support for multiple channels. Also prohibit WDS type interfaces when channel contexts are to be used as there's no clear definition of which channel they use. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-16iwlwifi: make data frame tracing optionalJohannes Berg
When tracing in iwlwifi, we get all data. Most of the time, we don't need it, and it just takes up a lot of extra space in the trace. Make this optional by recording the data into two separate trace events if it is needed. Without it, record only the content of non-data and EAPOL TX frames. As a result, tracing without the data tracepoints will record meta information including the 802.11 headers for all frames but will not record the contents of data frames to reduce trace overhead.

2012-10-15brcmfmac: fix end of loop check (signedness bug)Dan Carpenter
The problem here is that we loop until "remained_buf_len" is less than zero, but since it is unsigned, it never is. "remained_buf_len" has to be large enough to hold the value from "mgmt_ie_buf_len". That variable is type u32, but it only holds small values so I have changed to both variables to int. Also I removed the bogus initialization from "mgmt_ie_buf_len" so that GCC can detect if it is used unitialized. I moved the declaration of "remained_buf_len" closer to where it is used so it's easier to read.
