2009-06-03ar9170: use bitop macros for tx filter flagsChristian Lamparter
This patch fixes a bug in configure_filter's (sub-)routines. We never really cleared the flags once we updated the hardware state, so we wasted our resources by applying already active settings.

2009-06-03ath9k: Add sanity check for beacon_int in adhoc/mesh caseJouni Malinen
It looks like mac80211 can request the driver to start beaconing with a beacon interval of zero in some cases (at least for mesh point). This does not sound correct and something may need to be fixed in mac80211. However, taken into account the unpleasantness of getting stuck in an infinite busy loop with rtnl_lock held, let's add a quick workaround in the driver to avoid the worst symptom while someone more familiar with the mesh implementation can figure out what should be done with mac80211 as far as beacon interval configuration is concerned.

2009-06-03ath9k: Reset SC_OP_TSF_RESET flag after stuck beaconJeff Hansen
I have a TrendNet 652-BRP running OpenWRT + ath9k very well. The only problem is that the beacon gets stuck maybe once a day. After Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan's "ath9k: cleanup beacon parameters configuration" patch, ath9k would nearly re-configure the beacons after it detected the stuck beacon, and did a reset. But it would fail the SC_OP_TSF_RESET check in ath_beacon_config_ap. This patch gets the beacon fully reconfigured after the reset.

2009-06-02e1000: add missing length check to e1000 receive routineNeil Horman
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two things: 1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve 2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to doing an skb_put Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc, underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents small frames from causing the underflow described above Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Tested-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
