mac80211: don't accept WEP keys other than WEP40 and WEP104

2008-06-30T19:43:53+00:00

This patch makes mac80211 refuse a WEP key whose length is not WEP40 nor WEP104. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: Add RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces

2008-05-16T21:15:09+00:00

Since commit e38bad4766a110b61fa6038f10be16ced8c6cc38 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware). This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock, and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name: ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(). Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically fix the USB rt2x00 drivers. v2: Rename ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning

2008-04-16T19:59:56+00:00

There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as the beacons are received without scanning. This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic. The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or ioctl in all other instances. Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre Acked-by: Tomas Winkler Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: notify mac from low level driver (iwlwifi)

2008-04-08T20:44:43+00:00

Add new API to MAC80211 to allow low level driver to notify MAC with driver status. Signed-off-by: Mohamed Abbas Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add station aid into ieee80211_tx_control

mac80211: add association capabilty and timing info into bss_conf

2008-04-08T19:05:56+00:00

This patch adds assocation capability, timestamp (tsf) and beacon interval to bss_conf. This is required for successful assocation of iwlwifi drivers Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Gregory Greenman Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: eliminate conf_ht

2008-04-08T19:05:56+00:00

This patch eliminates the use of conf_ht, replacing it with bss_info_changed. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Ron Rindjunsky Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: allows driver to request a Phase 1 RX key

2008-03-25T20:41:53+00:00

This patch makes mac80211 able to send a phase1 key for TKIP decryption. This is needed for drivers that don't do the rekeying by themselves (i.e. iwlwifi). Upon IV16 wrap around, the packet is decrypted in SW, if decryption is ok, mac80211 calls to update_tkip_key with a new phase 1 RX key.

mac80211: get a TKIP phase key from skb

2008-03-25T20:41:52+00:00

This patch makes mac80211 able to compute a TKIP key from an skb. The requested key can be a phase 1 or a phase 2 key. This is useful for drivers who need to provide tkip key to their HW to enable HW encryption. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
