2013-12-31iwlwifi: mvm: Add a missed beacons thresholdIlan Peer
Instead of always calling ieee80211_beacon_loss() on every missed beacons notification, call this function only if the number of consecutive missed beacons from last rx is higher than a predefined threshold.

2013-12-31iwlwifi: mvm: fix AC / FIFO mappingEmmanuel Grumbach
The AC / fifo mapping was wrong - BE packets landed in VO FIFO. The iwl_mvm_tx_fifo enumeration isn't in the same order as ieee80211_ac_numbers enumeration. Since the firmware relies on fifo / ac mapping - this led to wrong behavior. E.g. the firmware sends beacon with the same QoS parameters as VO, and it actually took the parameters of BK. There are probably more severe issues. Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
2013-12-09iwlwifi: mvm: fix ht protection flagsAvri Altman
The HT protection flags have been a mess for a long time, this patch fixes all this. The proper source of information for this is the protection in the HT operation mode IE which is propagated to bss_conf by mac80211. 1) No need to set the HT protection flags when the link doesn't support HT. 2) We need to set the TGG protection when ERP is active.

2013-10-11iwlwifi: mvm: add IBSS supportJohannes Berg
At the firmware level, IBSS support has similar programming requirements as AP/GO support, so use the same functions with just small differences. With IBSS only a single virtual interface can be used, so no changes in the advertised interface combinations are needed. For now, don't use hardware crypto for the GTKs in IBSS mode, the firmware should support it though.

2013-10-11iwlwifi: mvm: keep connection to AP after WoWLANJohannes Berg
Until now, after WoWLAN, we weren't able to keep the connection to the AP because the firmware didn't give us the right information. Since the firmware API has been changed to include all the information we need, change the driver to work with the new API (if it is available) and program all the relevant information in mac80211 to keep the connection.

2013-06-25iwlwifi: mvm: Change the settings of AP beacon timeIlan Peer
In case that an AP/GO interface is started while there is a station/P2P client associated, need to make sure that the AP/GO beacon time is far enough from the station's one in oder to allow the station to receive the DTIM beacons and the following traffic etc. To resolve this, when the AP is started, check if there is an active station interface, and guarantee that the AP/GO TBTT is far enough from the station one.

2013-06-04iwlwifi: mvm: correctly configure MCAST in AP modeEmmanuel Grumbach
The AP mode needs to use the MCAST fifo for the MCAST frames sent after the DTIM. This fifo needs to be configured with the same parameters as the VOICE FIFO. A separate SCD queue is mapped to this fifo - the cab_queue (cab stands for Content After Beacon). This queue isn't connected to any station, but rather to the MAC context. This queue should (and is already) be set as the MCAST queue - this is part of the of MAC context command.

2013-05-16iwlwifi: mvm: Prevent setting assoc flag in MAC_CONTEXT_CMDAlexander Bondar
In the normal flow first MAC_CONTEXT_CMD for particular interface is never sent while associated. The exception is fw restart flow when resuming from suspend when WoWLAN is enabled. In this case successive "add" and "modify" MAC_CONTEXT_CMD commands may be sent with assoc flag set what cause FW mal functioning. To prevent this never set assoc flag in MAC_CONTEXT_CMD with action "add".

2013-03-06iwlwifi: mvm: don't read system time when modifying AP/GO MACJohannes Berg
When modifying a MAC, we update its beacon system time which is taken as a base to calculate TBTT. The firmware doesn't use the new timestamp because the time is never used after the MAC and broadcast station were added, but it is safer to not rely on this and avoids the overhead of reading the register every time the MAC is updated.

2013-02-18iwlwifi: mvm: program DTIM timings properlyJohannes Berg

2013-02-12iwlwifi: mvm: don't delay the association until after beaconJohannes Berg
If we haven't heard a beacon before we associate we can still start the association process and set the MAC in the firmware to associated only after having received a beacon with DTIM period by reacting to the new change flag (BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD) from mac80211.
