2008-02-29ipw2100/ipw2200: note firmware loading caveat in Kconfig help textDaniel Drake
Most wireless drivers load their firmware at interface open time, which generally occurs after the filesystem is available. However, the ipw drivers load their firmware at probe time because firmware is required to read the device MAC address. When built-in, probe happens before the filesystem is available, hence device init will only complete successfully if the user has made special arrangements (including firmware plus a loader in the initramfs). Note all this in the kconfig help text for both drivers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

2006-07-05[PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driverDaniel Drake
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS ZD1211 chip. Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed products which we will be supporting soon. Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision, but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them. This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw. ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have provided device specs. This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks! We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in 2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master mode, 802.11a, ...). Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-04-24[PATCH] ipw2200: Enable rtap interface for RF promiscuous mode while associatedZhu Yi
With this patch, a new promiscuous mode is enabled. If the module is loaded with the rtap_iface=1 module parameter, two interfaces will be created (instead of just one). The second interface is prefixed 'rtap' and provides received 802.11 frames on the current channel to user space in a radiotap header format. Example usage: % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 % iwconfig eth1 essid MyNetwork % dhcpcd eth1 % tcpdump -i rtap0 If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' then the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn it on via: % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface You can filter out what type of information is passed to user space via the rtap_filter sysfs entry. Currently you can tell the driver to transmit just the headers (which will provide the RADIOTAP and IEEE 802.11 header but not the payload), to filter based on frame control type (Management, Control, or Data), and whether to report transmitted frames, received frames, or both. The transmit frame reporting is based on a patch by Stefan Rompf. Filters can be get and set via a sysfs interface. For example, set the filter to only send headers (0x7), don't report Tx'd frames (0x10), and don't report data frames (0x100): % echo 0x117 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_filter All your packets are belong to us: % tethereal -n -i rtap0 Signed-off-by: James Ketrenos <jketreno@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-04-19[PATCH] Revert NET_RADIO Kconfig title changeJean Tourrilhes
2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for 2.6.17-rc1. Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore, the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned in the title of the option. Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change help disambiguate the relation between those two options. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes <jt@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
