nl80211: renumber NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE

2013-02-15T08:41:44+00:00

Adding the flag to mac80211 already without testing was
clearly a mistake, one that we now pay for by having to
reserve bit 13 forever. The problem is cfg80211 doesn't
allow capability/rate changes for station entries that
were added unassociated, so the station entries cannot
be set up properly when marked associated.

Change the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE value
to make it clear to userspace implementations that all
current kernels don't actually support it, even though
the previous bit is set, and of course also remove the
flag from mac80211 until we test and fix the issues.

cfg80211: Pass station (extended) capability info to kernel

2013-02-15T08:41:43+00:00

The information of the peer's capabilities and extended capabilities are
required for the driver to perform TDLS Peer UAPSD operations and off
channel operations. This information of the peer is passed from user space
using NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION command. This commit enhances
the function nl80211_set_station to pass the capability information of
the peer to the driver.

Similarly, there may be need for capability information for other modes,
so allow this to be provided with both add_station and change_station.

cfg80211: advertise extended capabilities to userspace

2013-02-15T08:41:42+00:00

In many cases, userspace may need to know which of the
802.11 extended capabilities ("Extended Capabilities
element") are implemented in the driver or device, to
include them e.g. in beacons, assoc request/response
or other frames. Add a new nl80211 attribute to hold
the extended capabilities bitmap for this.

nl80211: advertise HT/VHT channel limitations

2013-02-15T08:41:38+00:00

When drivers or regulatory have limitations on
40, 80 or 160 MHz channels, advertise these to
userspace via nl80211. Also add a new feature
flag to let userspace know this is supported.

nl80211/cfg80211: add radar detection command/event

2013-02-15T08:40:18+00:00

Add new NL80211_CMD_RADAR_DETECT, which starts the Channel
Availability Check (CAC). This command will also notify the
usermode about events (CAC finished, CAC aborted, radar
detected, NOP finished).
Once radar detection has started it should continuously
monitor for radars as long as the channel is active.

This patch enables DFS for AP mode in nl80211/cfg80211.

cfg80211: configuration for WoWLAN over TCP

2013-02-13T13:33:42+00:00

Intel Wireless devices are able to make a TCP connection
after suspending, sending some data and waking up when
the connection receives wakeup data (or breaks). Add the
WoWLAN configuration and feature advertising API for it.

nl80211: add packet offset information for wowlan pattern

2013-02-13T09:09:48+00:00

If user knows the location of a wowlan pattern to be matched in
Rx packet, he can provide an offset with the pattern. This will
help drivers to ignore initial bytes and match the pattern
efficiently.

nl80211: minor correction in sample wowlan mask calculation

2013-02-12T09:04:13+00:00

The match 00:xx:00:00:xx:00:00:00:00:xx:xx:xx (where xx indicates
"don't care") should be represented by a pattern of twelve zero
bytes, and a mask of "0xed,0x01", not "0xed,0x07".

mask_len = (pat_len + 7) / 8 = (12 + 7) / 8 = 2
Hence the mask will be of 2 bytes.
Replace each valid byte in pattern by 1 and don't care byte by 0:
10110111 1000 (0000)

1st byte of pattern corresponds to lower order bit in first byte
of mask. And 9th byte of pattern corresponds to lower order bit
in second byte of mask. With this logic the mask will be
11101101 00000001 = 0xed 0x01

cfg80211: expand per-station byte counters to 64bit

2013-02-04T17:57:22+00:00

In per-station statistics, present 32bit counters are too small
for practical purposes - with gigabit speeds, it get overlapped
every few seconds.

Expand counters in the struct station_info to be 64-bit.
Driver can still fill only 32-bit and indicate in @filled
only bits like STATION_INFO_[TR]X_BYTES; in case driver provides
full 64-bit counter, it should also set in @filled
bit STATION_INFO_[TR]RX_BYTES64

Netlink sends both 32-bit and 64-bit counters, if present, to not
break userspace.

cfg80211/mac80211: support reporting wakeup reason

2013-01-31T13:00:21+00:00

When waking up from WoWLAN, it is useful to know
what triggered the wakeup. Support reporting the
wakeup reason(s) in cfg80211 (and a pass-through
in mac80211) to allow userspace to know.
