2010-11-22wl1271: Change wl12xx Files NamesShahar Levi
All files name prefix removed due to the fact that wl12xx driver supports wl1271 and wl1273. Also the definition in Kconfig and header files changed respectively. Signed-off-by: Shahar Levi <shahar_levi@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@nokia.com>
2010-09-28wl1271: Optimize scan durationJuuso Oikarinen
Currently then dwell times for each channel in scans is set to an overly long value, and excessive number of probe-requests are transmitted on each channel (for active scans.) Based on testing, comparable results can be received with smaller dwell-time, and, with fever probe-requests - in fact, reducing the number of probe-requests to 2 seems to increase the number of found results. Configure more optimal values for per channel dwell times. Comparison for the different scan configurations (in my current office environment): dwell-time 60000 3x probe-req == ~60 results 40000 3x probe-req == ~50 results 30000 3x probe-req == ~40 results dwell-time 60000 2x probe-req == ~70 results 40000 2x probe-req == ~60 results 30000 2x probe-req == ~58 results The above are results for a cumulative 3 scan run. For individual scans, the number of results drop slightly more.

2010-09-28wl1271: Add handling for failing hardware scan commandJuuso Oikarinen
Currently, the driver does not handle a failing hardware command to scan in any way - effectively, the scan machine will jam until the driver is shut down, and future scan requests will just return -EBUSY to user space, resulting in a type of busy-loop. The same problem occurs if the firmware fails to deliver the scan completion event - add timeout for this.

2010-09-28wl1271: Move scan complete invocation into work functionJuuso Oikarinen
The current scan implementation can jam, if the scan request ends up containing no work. This can especially happen if there is a scan request with only 11a band channels for HW that does not support 11a.

2010-07-12wl1271: use __packed annotationLuciano Coelho
This patch changes __attribute__ ((packed)) annotations to __packed in wl1271 code that was introduced in a recent patch in wireless-testing. Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-07-08wl1271: rewritten scanning codeLuciano Coelho
This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently: 2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271 firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan a maximum of 24 channels at a time). Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this patch.

2010-07-08wl1271: moved scan operations to a separate fileLuciano Coelho
The scanning code is going to get a bit more complex, with proper support for active/passive scans together with 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In the future, also a new type of scan (periodic scan) will be added. When all this is implemented, the code is going to be much more complex, so we'd better separate it into a separate file. This patch doesn't have any impact on functionality.
