2008-09-11mac80211: remove disassociation code from ieee80211_set_associatedTomas Winkler
This patch moves disassociation code from ieee80211_set_associated to ieee80211_set_disassoc. To reduce code duplication, it introduces the ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo function. Additionally, it fixes a lapse where BSS_CHANGED_HT wasn't set when notifying the driver of changes due to disassociation.

2008-09-11mac80211: disassociate when moving to new BSSTomas Winkler
This patch makes the MLME cleanly disassociate from the current BSS when leaving it for a new one. This is not just nicer to the old AP (we're leaving it, might as well tell it!) but also required for some drivers that keep track of the station we're associated with, they'd get confused because they'd think we are associated with two APs.

2008-09-11mac80211: fix action frame length checksJohannes Berg
The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category code too, and the category code is required in each action frame (hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).

2008-09-11mac80211: BSS info: check channel firstJohannes Berg
When we receive information about a BSS we check at some point whether or not we think we're allowed to use the channel it is on, but we do that fairly late. I don't think we should do it that late, so do it earlier to avoid doing IBSS/mesh stuff on that channel and then getting confused because it's disabled.

2008-09-11mac80211: make conf_tx non-atomicJohannes Berg
The conf_tx callback currently needs to be atomic, this requirement is just because it can be called from scanning.

2008-09-08mac80211: Fix rate scale initialization in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch address some IBSS rate issues introduced or not covered by "mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()" and "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion". This patch: 1. Moves addition of IBSS station from prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon eliminating bogus supported rates. 2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging 3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent 4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

2008-09-02mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruptionJouni Malinen
debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures; usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost. Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future) that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

2008-08-27mac80211: don't send empty extended rates IEJan-Espen Pettersen
The association request includes a list of supported data rates. 802.11b: 4 supported rates. 802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates. 802.11a: 8 supported rates. The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of 802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs. 'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than rates_len would seem more correct.

2008-08-27mac80211: Fix debugfs file add/del for netdevJouni Malinen
Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers. This patch fixes those issues by using only a single union structure based on the vif type. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-08-27mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOMJouni Malinen
The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.

2008-08-22mac80211: add direct probe before associationRon Rindjunsky
This patch adds a direct probe request as first step in the association flow if data we have is not up to date.

2008-08-22replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriateJasper Bryant-Greene
This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.

Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame, which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.
