2016-10-27cfg80211: Add support to update connection parametersvamsi krishna
Add functionality to update the connection parameters when in connected state, so that driver/firmware uses the updated parameters for subsequent roaming. This is for drivers that support internal BSS selection and roaming. The new command does not change the current association state, i.e., it can be used to update IE contents for future (re)associations without causing an immediate disassociation or reassociation with the current BSS. This commit implements the required functionality for updating IEs for (Re)Association Request frame only. Other parameters can be added in future when required.

2016-10-27cfg80211: configure multicast to unicast for AP interfacesMichael Braun
Add the ability to configure if an AP (and associated VLANs) will do multicast-to-unicast conversion for ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 frames (possibly within 802.1Q). If enabled, such frames are to be sent to each station separately, with the DA replaced by their own MAC address rather than the group address. Note that this may break certain expectations of the receiver, such as the ability to drop unicast IP packets received within multicast L2 frames, or the ability to not send ICMP destination unreachable messages for packets received in L2 multicast (which is required, but the receiver can't tell the difference if this new option is enabled.) This also doesn't implement the 802.11 DMS (directed multicast service).

2016-07-06nl80211: support beacon report scanningAvraham Stern
Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

2015-10-13nl80211: allow BSS data to include CLOCK_BOOTTIME timestampDmitry Shmidt
For location and connectivity services, userspace would often like to know the time when the BSS was last seen. The current "last seen" value is calculated in a way that makes it less useful, especially if the system suspended in the meantime. Add the ability for the driver to report a real CLOCK_BOOTTIME stamp that can then be reported to userspace (if present). Drivers wishing to use this must be converted to the new API to call cfg80211_inform_bss_data() or cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data(). They need to ensure the reported value is accurate enough even when the frame might have been buffered in the device (e.g. firmware.)

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band. The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP". In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val" no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

This allows userspace to take action, for instance, by requesting other interfaces to switch channel as necessary. This patch introduces a function that allows the drivers to send this notification. It should be used when the driver starts processing a channel switch initiated by a remote device (eg. when a STA receives a CSA from the AP) and when it successfully starts a userspace-triggered channel switch (eg. when hostapd triggers a channel swith in the AP).

This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR. Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions, that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities. It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space. Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

2014-02-04cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS joinAntonio Quartulli
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid only. With the current approach if another cell having the same BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211 picks up the wrong BSS object. The result is a mismatching channel configuration between cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of problem. The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on given channel and then asking the driver to create a new cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency. By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object. All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed accordingly. Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

2013-04-22cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-spaceArend van Spriel
Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and alter coexistence schemes.

2013-03-06cfg80211: Extend support for IEEE 802.11r Fast BSS TransitionJouni Malinen
Add NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES to support update of FT IEs to the WLAN driver and NL80211_CMD_FT_EVENT to send FT events from the WLAN driver. This will carry the target AP's MAC address along with the relevant Information Elements. This event is used to report received FT IEs (MDIE, FTIE, RSN IE, TIE, RICIE). These changes allow FT to be supported with drivers that use an internal SME instead of user space option (like FT implementation in wpa_supplicant with mac80211-based drivers).

2013-02-15nl80211/cfg80211: add radar detection command/eventSimon Wunderlich
Add new NL80211_CMD_RADAR_DETECT, which starts the Channel Availability Check (CAC). This command will also notify the usermode about events (CAC finished, CAC aborted, radar detected, NOP finished). Once radar detection has started it should continuously monitor for radars as long as the channel is active. This patch enables DFS for AP mode in nl80211/cfg80211.
