2006-10-16[PATCH] softmac: Fix WX and association related racesMichael Buesch
This fixes some race conditions in the WirelessExtension handling and association handling code. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-09-25[PATCH] bcm43xx: WE-21 supportLarry Finger
Patch to make bcm43xx-softmac be compatible with the revised SSID length of WE-21. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-07-05[PATCH] SoftMAC: Prevent multiple authentication attempts on the same networkJoseph Jezak
This patch addresses the "No queue exists" messages commonly seen during authentication and associating. These appear due to scheduling multiple authentication attempts on the same network. To prevent this, I added a flag to stop multiple authentication attempts by the association layer. I also added a check to the wx handler to see if we're connecting to a different network than the one already in progress. This scenario was causing multiple requests on the same network because the network BSSID was not being updated despite the fact that the ESSID changed.

2006-06-15[PATCH] wireless: correct dump of WPA IELarry Finger
In net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c, there is a bug that prints extended sign information whenever the byte value exceeds 0x7f. The following patch changes the printk to use a u8 cast to limit the output to 2 digits. This bug was first noticed by Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>. This patch applies to the current master branch of the Linville tree. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-05-05[PATCH] softmac: suggest per-frame-type TX rateDaniel Drake
This patch is the first step towards rate control inside softmac. The txrates substructure has been extended to provide different fields for different types of packets (management/data, unicast/multicast). These fields are updated on association to values compatible with the access point we are associating to. Drivers can then use the new ieee80211softmac_suggest_txrate() function call when deciding which rate to transmit each frame at. This is immensely useful for ZD1211, and bcm can use it too. The user can still specify a rate through iwconfig, which is matched for all transmissions (assuming the rate they have specified is in the rate set required by the AP). At a later date, we can incorporate automatic rate management into the ieee80211softmac_recalc_txrates() function. This patch also removes the mcast_fallback field. Sam Leffler pointed out that this field is meaningless, because no driver will ever be retransmitting mcast frames (they are not acked).

2006-05-05[PATCH] softmac: deauthentication implies deassociationDaniel Drake
The 802.11 specs state that deauthenticating also implies disassociating. This patch implements that, which improve the behaviour of SIOCSIWMLME. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-24[PATCH] softmac: add SIOCSIWMLMEJohannes Berg
This patch adds the SIOCSIWMLME wext to softmac, this functionality appears to be used by wpa_supplicant and is softmac-specific. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: Jouni Malinen <jkm@devicescape.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-04-24[PATCH] softmac: fix SIOCSIWAPJohannes Berg
There are some bugs in the current implementation of the SIOCSIWAP wext, for example that when you do it twice and it fails, it may still try another access point for some reason. This patch fixes this by introducing a new flag that tells the association code that the bssid that is in use was fixed by the user and shouldn't be deviated from.

2006-04-19[PATCH] softmac: return -EAGAIN from getscan while scanningjohannes@sipsolutions.net
Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the results.

2006-03-27[PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.David Woodhouse
We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP. This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people. When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at 11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.
