p54u: reset skb's data/tail pointer on requeue

2008-08-18T15:05:14+00:00

(Only important for USB V1 Adaptors)

If an incoming frame wasn't accepted by p54_rx function
the skb will be reused for new frames...

But, we must not forget to set the skb's data pointers into
the same state in which it was initialized by p54u_init_urbs.

Otherwise we either end up with 16 bytes less on every requeue,
or if a new frame is worthy enough to be accepted, the data is
in the wrong place (urb->transfer_buffer wasn't updated!) and mac80211
has a hard time to recognize it...

p54: move p54_vdcf_init to the right place.

2008-08-18T15:05:14+00:00

priv->tx_hdr_len is set by the driver _after_ it called p54_init_common.
While this isn't much a problem for any PCI or ISL3887 cards/sticks,
because they don't need any extra header and therefore tx_hdr_len is
zero for them...

p54: Fix regression due to "net: Delete NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE kconfig option"

2008-08-18T15:05:12+00:00

Commit b19fa1f, entitled "net: Delete NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE kconfig
option" breaks p54pci and p54usb.

Additionally, the old logic always tx'ed cts frames (if enabled)
with a short preamble when [rate > 3]. (i.e. with any 802.11g rate).
Of course this isn't that bad, but it's still wrong!

(This patch also clarifies the meanings of some of the fields in the tx
header for the hardware. -- JWL)

p54: Fix for TX sequence number problem

2008-08-07T13:49:04+00:00

Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

p54: Fix potential concurrent access to private data

2008-08-04T19:09:12+00:00

Experience with the rtl8187 driver has shown that mac80211 can make
calls to the config callback routine in rapid succession. This patch
creates a mutex that protects the private data in several of the routines
called by mac80211.

p54: Add quality output to iwlist and iwconfig

2008-07-02T19:48:34+00:00

The p54 driver family reports a quality of 0 in iwconfig and iwlist
output. This patch calculates a quality number as a percentage of the
rssi to the maximum signal of 127 reported as the maximum signal.
