cfg80211: don't drop p2p probe responses

2011-06-01T18:34:01+00:00

Commit 0a35d36 ("cfg80211: Use capability info to detect mesh beacons")
assumed that probe response with both ESS and IBSS bits cleared
means that the frame was sent by a mesh sta.

However, these capabilities are also being used in the p2p_find phase,
and the mesh-validation broke it.

Rename the WLAN_CAPABILITY_IS_MBSS macro, and verify that mesh ies
exist before assuming this frame was sent by a mesh sta.

mac80211: Self-protected management frames are not robust

2011-05-11T18:44:48+00:00

They may contain encrypted information elements (as AMPE frames do)
but they are not encrypted.

cfg80211: Use capability info to detect mesh beacons.

2011-05-11T18:37:48+00:00

Mesh beacons no longer use all-zeroes BSSID.  Beacon frames for MBSS,
infrastructure BSS, or IBSS are differentiated by the Capability
Information field in the Beacon frame.  A mesh STA sets the ESS and IBSS
subfields to 0 in transmitted Beacon or Probe Response management
frames.

ieee80211: correct IEEE80211_ADDBA_PARAM_BUF_SIZE_MASK macro

2011-01-13T20:46:45+00:00

It is defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h. As per IEEE spec.
bit6 to bit15 in block ack parameter represents buffer size.
So the bitmask should be 0xFFC0.

mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.

2010-12-20T19:49:47+00:00

The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4.  If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).

The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft.  See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).

Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats.  But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

mac80211: Let userspace enable and configure vendor specific path selection.

2010-12-20T19:46:57+00:00

Userspace will now be allowed to toggle between the default path
selection algorithm (HWMP, implemented in the kernel), and a vendor
specific alternative.  Also in the same patch, allow userspace to add
information elements to mesh beacons.  This is accordance with the
Extensible Path Selection Framework specified in version 7.0 of the
802.11s draft.
