2012-03-26iwlegacy: fix BSSID settingStanislaw Gruszka
Current commit 0775f9f90cdaf40fbf69b3192b3dddb2b3436f45 "mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy, that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able to receive frames after successful associate. On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate() do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed. I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures: wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3) wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3) wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-03-26ath9k: fix max noise floor thresholdRajkumar Manoharan
Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the connection stability in congested networks.

2012-03-26iwlegacy: do not nulify il->vif on resetStanislaw Gruszka
This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap(). Additionally this should address also WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

2012-03-15libertas: remove dump_survey implementationDaniel Drake
libertas provides a dump_survey implementation based on reading of a RSSI value. However, this RSSI value is calculated based on the last received beacon from the associated AP - it is not a good way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error if the card is not associated to a network. As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an issue where something in userspace is repeatedly calling site-survey during boot, resulting in many repeated errors as the RSSI value cannot be read before associating.

2012-03-15rt2x00: rt2800usb: limit tx queues lengthStanislaw Gruszka
TX status fifo is limited to 16 elements. When we send more frames than that, we can easily loose status, what is not good for rate scaling algorithm. On my testing the change does not degrade performance, actually make is slightly better. Additionally with the patch I can see much less various rt2x00 warnings in dmesg.

2012-03-15rt2x00: rt2800usb: do not check packedid for aggregated framesStanislaw Gruszka
Tx statuses of aggregated subframes contain packetid of first subframe in the AMPDU. We can not identify AMPDU subframes based on packedid, so simply assume that status match first pending frame in the queue. Thats mostly the same what 2800pci do.

2012-03-15rt2x00: rt2800usb: rework txstatus codeStanislaw Gruszka
Currently we read tx status register after each urb data transfer. As callback procedure also trigger reading, that causing we have many "threads" of reading status. To prevent that introduce TX_STATUS_READING flags, and check if we are already in process of sequential reading TX_STA_FIFO, before requesting new reads. Change timer to hrtimer, that make TX_STA_FIFO overruns less possible. Use 200 us for initial timeout, and then reschedule in 100 us period, this values probably have to be tuned. Make changes on txdone work. Schedule it from rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed() callback when first valid status show up. Check in callback if tx status timeout happens, and schedule work on that condition too. That make possible to remove tx status timeout from generic watchdog. I moved that to rt2800usb. Loop in txdone work, that should prevent situation when we queue work, which is already processed, and after finish work is not rescheduled again.

Before we processed all pending entries from queue until PACKEDID match, that caused that we do not report tx statuses correctly.

2012-03-13mac80211: rename bss_conf timestamp to last_tsfJohannes Berg
This value is not really very useful by itself, yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can figure out what it should do) use it. At least rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning and add a note that it may be really old.
