mac80211: provide ieee80211_sta_eosp()

2013-03-07T13:33:21+00:00

The irqsafe version ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() exists, but
drivers must not mix calls to any irqsafe/non-irqsafe function.
Both ath9k and iwlwifi, the likely first users of this interface,
use non-irqsafe RX/TX/TX status so must also use a non-irqsafe
version of this function. Since no driver uses the _irqsafe()
version, remove that.

mac80211: remove ieee80211_key_removed

2012-07-09T12:49:15+00:00

This API call was intended to be used by drivers
if they want to optimize key handling by removing
one key when another is added. Remove it since no
driver is using it. If needed, it can always be
added back.

mac80211: notify driver of rate control updates

2012-04-10T18:54:08+00:00

Devices that have internal rate control need to be
notified when the bandwidth or SMPS state changes
just like external rate control algorithms get a
notification now.

Add this notification and clarify the change bits
while at it, the HT_CHANGED bit really meant only
bandwidth changed.

cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated state

2012-02-06T19:50:37+00:00

To track authenticated state seems to have been
a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to
have out of band authentication (FT), tracking
multiple authentications caused more problems
than it ever helped, and the implementation in
mac80211 is too complex.

Remove all this complexity, and let userspace
do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with
that just fine. Association is still tracked of
course, but authentication no longer is. Local
auth state changes are thus no longer of value,
so ignore them completely.

This will also help implement SAE -- asking the
driver to do an authentication is now almost
equivalent to sending an authentication frame,
with the exception of shared key authentication
which is still handled completely.

mac80211: document client powersave

2011-09-30T19:57:24+00:00

With the addition of uAPSD and driver buffering
the powersave handling has gotten quite complex.
Add a section to the documentation to explain it
for anyone wanting to implement it.

mac80211: add doc short section on LED triggers

2011-01-10T20:40:52+00:00

Just create a section to collect the LED trigger
functions and add a very short description as to
what drivers should do.
