cfg80211: Add support for static WEP in the driver

2016-09-30T11:19:10+00:00

Add support for drivers that implement static WEP internally, i.e.
expose connection keys to the driver in connect flow and don't
upload the keys after the connection.

cfg80211: allow connect keys only with default (TX) key

2016-09-15T14:45:41+00:00

There's no point in allowing connect keys when one of them
isn't also configured as the TX key, it would just confuse
drivers and probably cause them to pick something for TX.
Disallow this confusing and erroneous configuration.

As wpa_supplicant will always send NL80211_ATTR_KEYS, even
when there are no keys inside, allow that and treat it as
though the attribute isn't present at all.

cfg80211: reduce connect key caching struct size

2016-09-13T18:20:54+00:00

After the previous patches, connect keys can only (correctly)
be used for storing static WEP keys. Therefore, remove all the
data for dealing with key index 4/5 and reduce the size of the
key material to the maximum for WEP keys.

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
 * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
 * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
 * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
 * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen

cfg80211: add bss_type and privacy arguments in cfg80211_get_bss()

2015-03-03T14:56:01+00:00

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".

In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

cfg80211: clear connect keys when freeing them

2014-09-11T10:07:18+00:00

When freeing the connect keys, clear the memory to avoid
having the key material stick around in memory "forever".

cfg80211: constify more pointers in the cfg80211 API

2014-05-19T15:53:16+00:00

This also propagates through the drivers.

The orinoco driver uses the cfg80211 API structs for internal
bookkeeping, and so needs a (void *) cast that removes the
const - but that's OK because it allocates those pointers.

cfg80211: change wiphy_to_dev function name

2014-04-25T15:33:04+00:00

Name wiphy_to_rdev is more accurate to describe what the function
does, i.e., return a pointer pointing to struct
cfg80211_registered_device.
