2012-07-17cfg80211: add cellular base station regulatory hint supportLuis R. Rodriguez
Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about where they think we are. This can be done for example on a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the user or coming from a cellular base station. This option is only available when you enable CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS. The base station hints themselves will not be processed by the core unless at least one device on the system supports this feature. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2012-07-17cfg80211: support TX error rate CQMThomas Pedersen
Let the user configure serveral TX error conection quality monitoring parameters: % error rate, survey interval, and # of attempted packets. On exceeding the TX failure rate over the given interval, the driver will send a CQM notify event with the actual TX failure rate and packets attempted.

2012-07-17nl80211: add wdev ID as u64 as it shouldJohannes Berg
In one of my previous patches I erroneously used nla_put_u32 for the wdev_id, fix that to use nla_put_u64. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-13cfg80211/mac80211: re-add get_channel operationJohannes Berg
This essentially reverts commit 2e165b818456 but introduces the get_channel operation with a new wireless_dev argument so that you can retrieve the channel per interface. This is necessary as even though we can track all interface channels (except monitor) we can't track the channel type used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-12nl80211: allow enabling WoWLAN without triggersJohannes Berg
It may be desirable to use WoWLAN without triggers to keep the connection alive to the AP while suspended. Allow this use by enabling WoWLAN without triggers if no triggers were requested. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-12nl80211: move scan API to wdevJohannes Berg
The new P2P Device will have to be able to scan for P2P search, so move scanning to use struct wireless_dev instead of struct net_device. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-12nl80211: send interface after creationJohannes Berg
After a new virtual interface is created, reply to userspace with a message detailing it so it knows the new wdev identifier. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-12cfg80211: use wireless_dev for interface managementJohannes Berg
In order to be able to create P2P Device wdevs, move the virtual interface management over to wireless_dev structures. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-09cfg80211: use wdev in mgmt-tx/ROC APIsJohannes Berg
The management frame and remain-on-channel APIs will be needed in the P2P device abstraction, so move them over to the new wdev-based APIs. Userspace can still use both the interface index and wdev identifier for them so it's backward compatible, but for the P2P Device wdev it will be able to use the wdev identifier only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-09nl80211: retrieve interface data by wdevJohannes Berg
Since soon there will be virtual interfaces that don't have a netdev, use the wdev identifier for the API to retrieve interface data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-09nl80211: add NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEVJohannes Berg
Some nl80211 callbacks will soon need the wdev instead of the netdev, so add NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV to allow them to request that. Add NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV_UP as well which checks the netdev is UP if one exists. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-09nl80211: prepare for non-netdev wireless devsJohannes Berg
In order to support a P2P device abstraction and Bluetooth high-speed AMPs, we need to have a way to identify virtual interfaces that don't have a netdev associated. Do this by adding a NL80211_ATTR_WDEV attribute to identify a wdev which may or may not also be a netdev. To simplify things, use a 64-bit value with the high 32 bits being the wiphy index for this new wdev identifier in the nl80211 API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-05{nl,cfg}80211: support high bitratesVladimir Kondratiev
Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value. With VHT bitrates this becomes too small. Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one will be reported. User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)

2012-06-29cfg80211: add channel tracking for AP and meshMichal Kazior
We need to know which channel is used by a running AP and mesh for channel context accounting and finding matching/active interface combination. STA/IBSS have current_bss already which allows us to check which channel a vif is tuned to. Non-fixed channel IBSS can be handled with additional changes.

2012-06-27cfg80211: don't allow WoWLAN support without CONFIG_PMJohannes Berg
When CONFIG_PM is disabled, no device can possibly support WoWLAN since it can't go to sleep to start with. Due to this, mac80211 had even rejected the hardware registration. By making all the code and data for WoWLAN depend on CONFIG_PM we can promote this runtime error to a compile-time error. Add #ifdef around all WoWLAN code to remove it in systems that don't need it as they never suspend.

2012-06-20cfg80211: fix regression in multi-vif AP startFelix Fietkau
Commit "cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function" assumes that the channel is always passed to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP command, however in case of multi-BSSID, hostapd only passes the channel for the first vif. This makes starting beaconing on secondary vifs fail with -EINVAL. Fix this by storing the channel provided to .start_ap in wdev->preset_chan and picking the first AP vif's channel for secondary vifs if not provided.

2012-06-18{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationIntervalChun-Yeow Yeoh
As defined in section 13.10.9.3 Case D (802.11-2012), this control variable is used to limit the mesh STA to send only one PREQ to a root mesh STA within this interval of time (in TUs). The default value for this variable is set to 2000 TUs. However, for current implementation, the maximum configurable of dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval is restricted by dot11MeshHWMPactivePathTimeout.

2012-06-06cfg80211: validate remain-on-channel time betterJohannes Berg
The remain-on-channel time validation shouldn't depend on the value of HZ, as it does now with the check against jiffies, since then you might use a value that works on one system but not on another. Fix it by checking against a minimum that's fixed. Also add validation of the wait duration for a management frame TX since this also translates into remain-on-channel internally.

2012-06-06cfg80211: clarify set_channel APIsJohannes Berg
Now that we've removed all uses of the set_channel API except for the monitor channel and in libertas, clarify this. Split the libertas mesh use into a new libertas_set_mesh_channel() operation, just to keep backward compatibility, and rename the normal set_channel() to set_monitor_channel().

2012-06-05cfg80211: provide channel to join_mesh functionJohannes Berg
Just like the AP mode patch, instead of setting the channel and then joining the mesh network, provide the channel to join the network on to the join_mesh() function. Like in AP mode, you can also give the channel to the join-mesh nl80211 command now. Unlike AP mode, it picks a default channel if none was given. As libertas uses mesh mode interfaces but has no join_mesh callback and we can't simply break it, keep some compatibility code for that case and configure the channel directly for it. In the non-libertas case, where we store the channel until join, allow setting it while the interface is down. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-06-05cfg80211: disallow setting channel on WDS interfacesJohannes Berg
If it worked (Felix says it doesn't right now), the typical use-case for WDS interfaces would be to be slaved to AP mode interfaces. Therefore, it isn't necessary to set the channel on WDS interfaces. As they don't support powersave or anything like that, they also couldn't use a different channel anyway.

2012-06-05cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap functionJohannes Berg
Instead of setting the channel first and then starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel and provide it as one of the AP settings. This means that now you have to set the channel before you can start an AP interface, but since hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK with this change. Alternatively, it's now possible to give the channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211 command, overriding any preset channel.
