2011-07-22ath5k: merge ath5k_{init, deinit}_hw() with their thin wrappersPavel Roskin
Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-07-20ath5k: merge ath5k_hw and ath5k_softcPavel Roskin
Both ath5k_hw and ath5k_softc represent one instance of the hardware. This duplication is historical and is not needed anymore. Keep the name "ath5k_hw" for the merged structure and "ah" for the variable pointing to it. "ath5k_hw" is shorter than "ath5k_softc", more descriptive and more widely used. Put the combined structure to ath5k.h where the old ath5k_softc used to be. Move some code from base.h to ath5k.h as needed. Remove memory allocation for struct ath5k_hw and the corresponding error handling. Merge iobase and ah_iobase fields.

2011-06-17ath5k: minor cleanupPavel Roskin
Move an extern variable declaration to a header file. Prefix all functions with "ath5k_". Make ath5k_intr() static. Remove unneeded forward declarations. Remove pointless "extern" in a function declaration. Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-04-12ath5k: fix slot time handlingFelix Fietkau
Set the slot time based on the mac80211 short slot vs long slot setting instead of just forcing long slot for all CCK-enabled channels. This slightly improves 802.11g mode performance in in my tests.

2011-03-11ath5k: implement ieee80211_ops->{get,set}_ringparamJohn W. Linville
set_ringparam only allows changes to tx ring at this time. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-03-07ath5k: Put hardware in PROMISC mode if there is more than 1 stations.Ben Greear
It seems ath5k has issues receiving broadcast packets (ARPs) when using multiple STA interfaces associated with multiple APs. This patch ensures the NIC is always in PROMISC mode if there are more than 1 stations associated. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-02-25mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg
The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

2011-02-18ath5k: move external function definitions to a header fileBob Copeland
Johannes pointed out the mess of external function prototypes in the mac80211-ops.c file. Woe to anyone who changes these functions... Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-01-28ath5k: Fix short and long retry configurationBruno Randolf
The register definition for retry configuration on AR5212 was wrong, and simply copied over from AR5210. Update the register definitions from the documentation. Let the short and long retries be configured from mac80211 and use the standard values of 7 and 4 by default. Also we need to make sure we don't export more retries than we are configured for to mac80211 (and the rate module) in hw->max_rate_tries. Also clean up the code by removing unused defines and variables and drop the different values for "station retries" - if these need to be different it can be handled tru ah_retry_long/short.

2011-01-04ath5k: Move mac80211 functions into new fileBruno Randolf
Move mac80211 functions into new file mac80211-ops.c to have a better separation and to make base.c smaller. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
