mwl8k: move under marvell vendor directory

2015-11-18T12:28:30+00:00

Part of reorganising wireless drivers directory and Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mac80211: allow to transmit A-MSDU within A-MPDU

2015-09-22T13:21:23+00:00

Advertise the capability to send A-MSDU within A-MPDU in the AddBA request sent by mac80211. Let the driver know about the peer's capabilities. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mwl8k: refactor some conditionals for clarity

2015-08-18T06:03:22+00:00

CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.o drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c: In function ‘mwl8k_bss_info_changed’: drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c:3290:2: warning: ‘ap_mcs_rates’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] memcpy(cmd->mcs_set, mcs_rates, 16); ^ drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c:4987:5: note: ‘ap_mcs_rates’ was declared here u8 ap_mcs_rates[16]; ^ The warning was bogus. But the conditionals were rather complicated, with multiple redundant checks. This consolidates the checking and makes it more readable IMHO. Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC

2015-04-24T09:14:13+00:00

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wireless: Use eth__addr instead of memset

2015-03-03T22:01:36+00:00

Use the built-in function instead of memset. Miscellanea: Add #include where appropriate Use ETH_ALEN instead of 6 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

cfg80211: remove "channel" from survey names

2015-01-08T14:27:52+00:00

All of the survey data is (currently) per channel anyway, so having the word "channel" in the name does nothing. In the next patch I'll introduce global data to the survey, where the word "channel" is actually confusing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: allow drivers to support NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR

2014-11-19T17:46:09+00:00

Allow drivers to support NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR with software based scanning and generate a random MAC address for them for every scan request with the flag. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use

2014-08-12T18:15:14+00:00

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @@ identifier i; declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE; initializer z; @@ - DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i) + const struct pci_device_id i[] = z; // [bhelgaas: add semantic patch] Signed-off-by: Benoit Taine Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

mwl8k: use pci_zalloc_consistent

2014-08-08T22:57:29+00:00

Remove the now unnecessary memset too. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Lennert Buytenhek Cc: "John W. Linville" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
