When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

commit 3474ad635db371b0d8d0ee40086f15d223d5b6a4
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date: Thu Apr 29 04:43:05 2010 -0700
iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.
This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.

ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in
several places, but a newly created interface may not have a
channel. To avoid null pointer dereferences, set it up to point
to the first available channel until later reconfigured.

The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected
[ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.
And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!

Move the sysfs_create_group to iwl_ucode_callback after we
have safely got the firmware.
The motivation to do this comes from a warning from lockdep which detected
that we request priv->mutex while holding s_active during a sysfs request
(show_statistics in the example copy pasted). The reverse order exists upon
request_firmware: request_firmware which is a sysfs operation
that requires s_active is run under priv->mutex.
This ensures that we don't get sysfs request before we finish to request
the firmware, avoiding this deadlock.

Commit 56d1de0a21db28e41741cfa0a66e18bc8d920554, "ath5k: clean up
filter flags setting" introduced a regression in monitor mode such
that the promisc filter flag would get lost.
Although we set the promisc flag when it changed, we did not
preserve it across subsequent calls to configure_filter. This patch
restores the original functionality.

When building a kernel with CONFIG_PM=y but neither suspend nor
hibernate support, the compiler complains about the static functions
ath5k_pci_suspend() and ath5k_pci_resume() not being used:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:713:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_suspend’ defined but not used
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:722:12: warning: ‘ath5k_pci_resume’ defined but not used
Depending on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP rather than CONFIG_PM fixes the issue.

We can wake all queues after a chip reset since everything should be set up and
we are ready to transmit. If we don't do that we might end up starting up with
stopped queues, not beeing able to transmit. (This started to happen after
"ath5k: clean up queue manipulation" but since periodic calibration also
stopped and started the queues this effect was hidden most of the time).
This way we can also get rid of the superfluous ath5k_reset_wake() function.

This bug was introduced by the following commit
Author: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com>
Date: Thu Apr 15 17:38:46 2010 -0400
ath9k: Remove ATH9K_TX_SW_ABORTED and introduce a bool for this purpose
Wrong buffer is checked for bf_tx_aborted field in ath_tx_num_badfrms(),
this may result in a rate scaling with wrong feedback (number
of unacked frames in this case). It is the last one in the chain
of buffers for an aggregate frame that should be checked.
Also it misses the initialization of this field in the buffer,
this may lead to a situation where we stop the sw retransmission
of failed subframes associated to this buffer.

With VEOL, Beacon transmission in ad-hoc does not currently work.
I believe for larger ad-hoc networks, VEOL is too unreliable, as
it can get beacon transmissions stuck during synchronization.
Use SWBA based beacon trasmission similar to AP mode instead.

also be added to the hardwares which support auto sleep feature.

The intent here is to test that "sta_id_r" is a valid pointer. We do
this same test later on in the function.

We should use the same buffer size we set up for DMA also in the hardware
descriptor. Previously we used common->rx_bufsize for setting up the DMA
mapping, but used skb_tailroom(skb) for the size we tell to the hardware in the
descriptor itself. The problem is that skb_tailroom(skb) can give us a larger
value than the size we set up for DMA before. This allows the hardware to write
into memory locations not set up for DMA. In practice this should rarely happen
because all packets should be smaller than the maximum 802.11 packet size.
On the tested platform rx_bufsize is 2528, and we allocated an skb of 2559
bytes length (including padding for cache alignment) but sbk_tailroom() was
2592. Just consistently use rx_bufsize for all RX DMA memory sizes.
Also use the return value of the descriptor setup function.

This reverts commit 03ceedea972a82d343fa5c2528b3952fa9e615d5, since it
breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
to get an IP address after the resume.
In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver. As Johannes
says:
"Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong
and completely unnecessary."

We tried to squeeze as much AR9003 support into this kernel
release cycle but there are a few features which are still
being tested and developed. Some of these features are critical
to the stable operation of AR9003 so for now disable AR9003 support
all together. This will get re-enabled once all necessary features
are in place but very likely will not happen for 2.6.35.

The current frame length used by the driver for RX frames is the SPI bus
transfer length. This length has padding bytes, which do not belong to the
WLAN frame.
As there is no other length information in the WLAN frame except the skb
length this problem caused for instance extra ESSID's to be listed at the
end of scan results (IE id 0) with zero length.
Fix the frame length by removing padding.
