net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: let userspace make meshif mesh gate

2011-08-24T17:59:43+00:00

Allow userspace to set NL80211_MESHCONF_GATE_ANNOUNCEMENTS attribute,
which will advertise this mesh node as being a mesh gate.
NL80211_HWMP_ROOTMODE must be set or this will do nothing.

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: let userspace set RANN interval

2011-08-24T17:59:43+00:00

Allow userspace to set Root Announcement Interval for our mesh
interface. Also, RANN interval is now in proper units of TUs.

nl80211: New notification to discover mesh peer candidates.

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

Notify userspace when a beacon/presp is received from a suitable mesh
peer candidate for whom no sta information exists.  Userspace can then
decide to create a sta info for the candidate.  If userspace is not
ready to authenticate the peer right away, it can create the sta info
with the authenticated flag unset and set it later.

cfg80211/nl80211: Add userspace authentication flag to mesh setup

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

During mesh setup, use NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AUTH flag to create
a secure mesh and route management frames to userspace.

Also, NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY now returns a flag NL80211_SUPPORT_MESH_AUTH
if the wiphy's mesh implementation supports routing of mesh auth frames
to userspace.  This is useful for forward compatibility between old
kernels and new userspace tools.

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.

cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands

2010-12-06T21:01:29+00:00

Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.

Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.

We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.

In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.
