nl80211: fix old station flags compatibility

2012-01-11T20:14:50+00:00

My patch to validate station flags broke compatibility
with the old station flags setting where all flags are
always set at once since it always set the mask as all
possible flags which ended up being rejected later in
the station add/modify code.

Fix by parsing only the current flags in the old flags
attribute -- new applications and new flags should use
(and will now require) the new flags attribute where
the mask is given by the application.

cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling better

2011-12-15T19:45:45+00:00

The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy
and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like
this could be an issue for drivers that don't use
mac80211 to validate everything.

As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the
validation of allowing supported_rates to change
for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

nl80211: accept testmode dump with netdev

2011-12-14T19:50:11+00:00

All nl80211 commands that need only the wiphy
still allow identifying it by giving an interface
index, except, as Kenny pointed out, the testmode
dump support.

Fix this by looking up the wiphy via the ifidx in
this case as well.
