nl80211: Move peer link state definition to nl80211

2011-05-16T18:10:49+00:00

These definitions need to be exposed now that we can set the peer link
states via NL80211_ATTR_STA_PLINK_STATE.  They were already being
(opaquely) reported by NL80211_STA_INFO_PLINK_STATE.

open80211s: Stop using zero for address 3 in mesh plink mgmt frames

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

Previous versions of 11s draft used the all zeroes address.  Current
draft uses the same address as address 2.

Also, use the ANA-approved action category code for peer establishment frames.

Note: This breaks compatibility with previous mesh protocol instances.

mac80211: Drop MESH_PLINK category and use new ANA-approved MESH_ACTION

nl80211: Introduce NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AMPE

2011-05-11T18:37:47+00:00

Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace.

Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an
authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace
and hand them over to the kernel.  From that point the mesh stack would
take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management).

These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange
in userspace.  The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on
successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

Also, advertise support for mesh authentication.

nl80211/mac80211: Perform PLINK_ACTION on new station

2011-04-12T20:57:39+00:00

Modify the NEW_STATION command to accept PLINK_ACTIONS, in case
userspace wants to create stations and initiate a peer link right away
(for authenticated stations) or create a blocked station (for
debugging).

nl80211: rename NL80211_MESH_SETUP_VENDOR_PATH_SEL_IE

2011-04-12T20:57:37+00:00

To NL80211_MESH_SETUP_IE. This reflects our ability to insert any ie
into a mesh beacon, not simply path selection ies.

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.
