1, This patch renames iwl4965_rate_scale_priv to iwl4965_lq_sta. This type represents a station's link quality. 2. The names of the variables of this type were rs_priv, lq_data, lq, crl across the file. All are now unified under the name lq_sta.

After we delay device initialization until interface up, there are more conditions for the hardware rf_kill switch states during suspend and resume. For example, before suspend we can have interface up or down, rf_kill enable or disable; before resume we can have rf_kill enable or disable. So there are totally 2^3 = 8 conditions to handle. This patch addressed this problem and makes sure every condition works correctly. This patch also merges the device suspend and resume handlers with the mac_start and mac_stop code since they are basically doing the same thing.

This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this: 1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple times and is necessary for device suspend and resume. 2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and close the wireless interface automatically. This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram upon the first version.

This patch removes iwl4965_tx_cmd function and splits its content to iwl4965_hw_build_tx_cmd_rate, iwl4965_build_tx_cmd_basic, and iwl4965_tl_get_stats function. The latest one will be deprecated when traffic load will move to rate scale module.

This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon.

For TX rings the queue_idx should start at IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_DATA0 and for each followup ring this index needs to be increased. For the RX ring the queue_idx should be set to 0.

rt2500usb and rt73usb data and desc pointer initialization was incorrect because it was using uninitialized variables to determine the length. In addition rt2500usb used skb_pull and removed the ieee80211 from each received frame instead of using skb_trim to remove the device descriptor from the frame. Finally this also fixes the descriptor override when 4 byte aligning occured. We still need a completely valid descriptor when using the TX/RX dumping capabilities in debugfs.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode. This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback when the BSS configuration changes. This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following new features: * drivers are notified of their association AID * drivers are notified of association status and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch fixes an oops which was introduced as a regression by commit fd640775bd16e1df50c867cc547af0, on the patch titled, "mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers". ieee80211_generic_frame_duration() now relies on sdata->flags which itself gets set upon bringing the interface up. We check for the virtual interface now before setting the rate duration registers. After the mode changes are introduced onto mac80211 we should revisit these changes. This patch was tested on the following cards: 1) BG card: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43) RF2112A 2GHz radio found (0x46) 2) ABG card: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59,PHY: 0x43) RF5112A multiband radio found (0x36) Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch adds a mac80211 based wireless driver for the rtl8180 and rtl8185 PCI wireless cards. Also included are some rtl8187 changes required due to the relationship between that driver and this one. Michael Wu is primarily responsible for the initial driver and rtl8185 support. Andreas Merello provided the additional rtl8180 support. Thanks to Jukka Ruohonen for the donating a rtl8185 card! It was very helpful for the rtl8225z2 code.
