2008-05-06iwlwifi: make IWLWIFI a tristateAdrian Bunk
IWLWIFI should be a tristate so that if IWLCORE and/or IWL3945 are m and none of them is y kbuild doesn't create an empty drivers/net/wireless/built-in.o This patch also removes the pointless "default n".

2008-05-01rt2x00: Fix quality/activity led handlingIvo van Doorn
There was an obvious typo in LED structure initialization which caused the radio and quality/activity leds to be incorrectly initialized which resulted in the leds not being enabled. Additionally add the rt2x00led_led_activity() handler that will enable TX/RX activity leds when the radio is being enabled. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-05-01iwlwifi: fix debug messages during scanningBill Moss
direct_mask will be set when we are not associated and requesting a direct scan. The second debug print will be confusing as priv->essid is not set at that time and it will thus print "<hidden>" while it is known to which AP a direct scan is requested - as previous debug message also indicates. Now make all debugging consistent. Signed-off-by: Bill Moss <bmoss@clemson.edu> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Some mainboards/CPUs don't allow DMA masks bigger than a certain limit. Some VIA crap^h^h^h^hdevices have an upper limit of 0xFFFFFFFF. So in this case a 64-bit b43 device would always fail to acquire the mask. Implement a workaround to fallback to lower DMA mask, as we can always also support a lower mask.

This adds a workaround for invalid bluetooth SPROM settings on ASUS PCI cards. This will stop the microcode from poking with the BT GPIO line. This fixes data transmission on this device, as the BT GPIO line is used for something TX related on this device (probably the power amplifier or the radio). This also adds a modparam knob to help debugging this in the future, as more devices with this bug may show up. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-04-19PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()Rafael J. Wysocki
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but before it happened, we had introduced the functions device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary, it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the normal device unregistration instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-04-16iwlwifi: remove the statistics workEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch does 3 things 1) It removes the statistics work. The request statistics command is sent in ASYNC mode in this flow, the mutex is uneeded, so the request statistics function can't go to sleep. No need for a workqueue anymore. 2) iwl4965_send_statistics_request has been renamed to iwl_send_statistics_request and moved to iwl-core.c 3) A request for statistics is sent in alive_notify, the makes the uCode sends statistics notification periodically starting from association.

2008-04-16b43: Add fastpath to b43_mac_suspend()Michael Buesch
This adds a fastpath for the common workloads to the MAC suspend flushing. In common workloads the FIFO flush will take between 100 and 200 microseconds. So we want to avoid calling msleep() in the common case, as it will waste over 800 microseconds + scheduler overhead. This fastpath will hit in workloads where only small chunks of data are transmitted (downloading a file) or when a TX rate bigger or equal to 24MBit/s is used when transmitting lots of stuff (iperf). So in the commonly used workloads it will basically always hit. In case the fastpath is not hit, there's no real performance or latency disadvantage from that. And yes, I measured this. So this is not one of these bad Programmer Likeliness Assumptions that are always wrong. ;) Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
