mac80211: fixups for "make master iface not wireless"

2008-09-30T18:07:23+00:00

In "mac80211: make master iface not wireless" I accidentally
forgot to include these changes ... leading to the expected
BUG_ON errors.

cfg80211: show interface type

2008-09-24T20:18:00+00:00

This patch makes cfg80211 show the interface in the nl80211
information about a specific interface. API users are required
to keep the type updated (everything else is fairly complicated)
but you will get a warning if you fail to keep it updated.

mac80211 : Fix mode change hard_start_xmit function

2008-09-15T20:48:26+00:00

When monitor mode is changed to BSS or IBSS, data trasnfer can not happen
because proper transmit function is not assigend for BSS ,IBSS mode.
This patch fixes this problem by assigning the ieee80211_subif_start_xmit
to device's hard_start_xmit function.

mac80211: share STA information with driver

2008-09-15T20:48:23+00:00

This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about
stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when
 they get around to updating, and might also help with
implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

mac80211: move regular interface handling

2008-09-15T20:48:23+00:00

Move the code to handle regular interfaces out of main.c and
into iface.c, keep only the master interface stuff in main.c.

mac80211: use nl80211 interface types

2008-09-15T20:48:23+00:00

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

mac80211: inform driver of basic rateset

2008-09-15T20:48:22+00:00

Drivers need to know the basic rateset to be able to configure
the ACK/CTS programming in hardware correctly.

mac80211: reorder MLME code more

2008-09-15T20:48:21+00:00

This way all the utility functions are at the top, then the
state machine and externally callable functions are moved to
the bottom. Also clean up ieee80211_i.h a bit and add a few
comments about which functions are called from where.

mac80211: split off mesh handling entirely

2008-09-15T20:48:20+00:00

This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.

Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

mac80211: Reorder debugfs calls during netdev deinit

2008-09-11T19:53:40+00:00

ieee80211_free_keys() must be called before
ieee80211_debugfs_remove_netdev() in order to make sure that the
possible default_key symlink is removed before attempting to
remove the netdev debugfs directory.
