Currently, the libertas main thread contends with the spi driver thread in the TX path. To improve throughput, ensure that the driver thread has higher scheduling priority than the libertas main thread. Do this by making the libertas spi driver thread a low priority real time thread. We measured an average throughput improvement of 13%. Signed-off-by: Anna Neal <anna@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrey Yurovsky <andrey@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This adds the necessary code and fields to let drivers specify their cipher capabilities and exports them to userspace. Also update mac80211 to export the ciphers it has. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This informs userspace when a change has occured on a world roaming wiphy's channel which has lifted some restrictions due to a regulatory beacon hint. Because this is now sent to userspace through the regulatory multicast group we remove the debug prints we used to use as they are no longer necessary.

Separated the MIMO tpt matrix into MIMO2 and MIMO3, adding MIMO3 support in rate scaling algorithm. If the device support 3x3, then utilize all three antenna (A/B/C) for tx to improve throughput. Adding rs_switch_to_mimo3() function to allow switch to mimo3 modulation mode from other modes(legacy/siso/mimo2). Adding rs_move_mimo3_to_other() function to allow switch from mimo3 modulation mode to either siso or mimo2; also support toggle between SGI and NGI.

When using nl80211 association, we need to send association response with a failure code to user space SME instead of just internally trying to send out the same (re)association request again couple of times. This fixes problems in association process getting stuck on a failure when user space is not notified in any way that something actually failed.

This patch introduces a new attribute for a wiphy that tells userspace how long the information elements added to a probe request frame can be at most. It also updates the at76 to advertise that it cannot support that, and, for now until I can fix that, iwlwifi too. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This change creates a new module, ath.ko, which includes code that can be shared between ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. For now, extract most of the ath9k regulatory code so it can also be used in ath5k.

All regulatory information is encapsulated by the ath9k_regulatory struct, so we can now change all the callers to take that directly instead of struct ath_hw. This in turn will enable us to move the regulatory functions to common code also used by ath5k, since both can use this regulatory struct.

The STATUS_ALIVE value cannot be used because it is cleared when interface is brought down and will not be set if rfkill is enabled when interface is started again. The interface can thus not be brought up if rfkill was enabled before stopping the interface and disabled after starting the interface. Change the test to use priv->is_open instead, this will be set when interface is started whether rfkill is enabled or not. Thanks to Helmut Schaa for the suggested fix.

This patch hopefully finishes the SoftLED code: - It adds two more LEDs (rx and radio). (the FW claims it can support up to 16 LEDs, but I doubt that any vendor put more than 4 on a board) - update the LEDs in a _delayed_ workqueue. No one reported any more crashes. (see: "PATCH] p54: fix race condition in memory management") So we can stop burning the mm code.

Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands, resulting in: $ iw phy phy0 info command failed: No buffer space available (-105) This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels can do so by passing all_channels=1. By default users will see a smaller list of channels. This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.
