Most wireless drivers load their firmware at interface open time, which generally occurs after the filesystem is available. However, the ipw drivers load their firmware at probe time because firmware is required to read the device MAC address. When built-in, probe happens before the filesystem is available, hence device init will only complete successfully if the user has made special arrangements (including firmware plus a loader in the initramfs). Note all this in the kconfig help text for both drivers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

We must not clear the FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC bit in the new_flags. The zd-driver does support sending beacons and probe responses to the host. What the flag does is say "Send me all beacons and probe responses". And we actually do that. We always do that, so we ignore the case when the bit is disabled. But that is fine. But we must not clear the flag, as that tells mac80211 that we do not support passing beacons and probe responses to the stack. And that's not true.

Trial and error reveals that CR_ZD1211B_TX_PWR_CTL* do not affect the transmission power. Instead these registers seem to control the contention windows limits for different QoS access categories.

Having the full RX timestamp in beacons is necessary for IBSS merge to work properly so extend the 16-bit timestamp to the full 64 bits for beacon frames (as well as when monitor mode is active.)

enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11 standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour. * move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure. * we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary. * in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we can correctly do merges. * we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that message. * to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they have a different BSSID.

define mactime as the time when the first data symbol arrived at the HW. the old definition was questionable because 802.11 defines timestamp only for beacon and probe response frames, and there it means the timestamp field. a stricter definition of mactime is necessary for correct merging of IBSS. note that it is up to the driver to convert whatever its hardware returns to this definition. unfortunately we don't know for example when atheros hardware takes its rx timestamp exactly :( Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.

This changes mac80211 to pass the burst time to conf_tx in txop units rather than 0.1msec units. 0.1msec units are only required by atheros hardware (according to current driver support), all other drivers do other calculations or require the txop value. Therefore, it results in fewer calculations and more precision if we just pass the txop value through to the driver.

We update the version stamp at this time to distinguish the in-kernel driver from the out of tree driver. The out of tree driver currently has version number 1.2.25, but the latest driver code can only be found in this in-kernel driver. Having a later version number will reduce confusion between the two versions as we transition from out of tree to in-kernel.

When we want to go multiqueue, we will need to know the number of queues the hardware has for registering the master netdev. This number is only available in ieee80211_register_hw() rather than ieee80211_alloc_hw(), so defer allocation of the master device to ieee80211_register_hw().
