<id>4789666e13fb0b2d45feb1b4a5119a1b997ec84c</id>
<content type='text'>
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.

After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.

The symptoms of this problem:
 - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
 - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed

Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
 - Problems with DHCP
 - Broken connections due to lack of probe response

This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

The bss_info_changed() callback function no longer needs
to be atomic. Remove the scheduled work structure and
call into the driver directly.

Additionaly this makes the DRIVER_REQUIRE_SCHEDULED
flag redundant so it can be removed.

<title>rt2x00: Fix beacon de-synchronization while update beacon</title>

When beacon is being updated to refresh TIM (AP mode), beacon frames are
de-synchronizing (i.e. two neighbor beacon frames - before and after
update - are being transmitted with a wrong time interval).
That is because xxx_write_beacon should disable beacon generation only
while beacon data are being uploaded to the device, but it should not
disable the beacon clock.

Implement set_tim callback for all rt2x00 drivers, this makes the
device wake up powersaving stations properly while in AP mode.

The only way to update the beacon is by simply calling mac80211 and
requesting the new beacon. This means the set_tim() event is mostly the
same as a beacon_done() event which was already defined in rt2x00lib.

The commit below changed the semantics of rt2x00_check_rev so that it no
longer checked the bottom 4 bits of the rev were non-zero.  During that
conversion this part of the check was not propogated to the rt2500usb
initialisation.

        rt2x00: Simplify rt2x00_check_rev

Without this check rt73 devices are miss recognised as rt2500 devices and
two drivers are loaded.  Preventing the device being used.  Reinstate this
check.

Remove the input_polldev from rt2x00 and replace it with
the rfkill interface offered by the wiphy structure. This
simplifies the entire rfkill handling in rt2x00 and allows
us to remove the CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_RFKILL option and always
enables rfkill capabilities.

This removes the last usage of beacon_int inside the iee80211_config
structure from rt2x00. The attempt is a bit hackish, and subject to
change in the future when the entire rt2x00_dev structure is
cleaned up and restructured.

IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_BEACON_INTERVAL was deprecated a month ago,
it is about time to remove all usage from the rt2x00 drivers and
use the correct beacon interval configuration through the bss_info

rt2x00_check_rev() was too specific for rt2500usb and rt73usb,
by adding the mask argument (instead of hardcoding it into
the function itself) we can use the function in rt2800usb as
well.
