b43: Implement dynamic PHY API

2008-08-29T20:24:12Z

This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API. This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types to avoid the "switch"-hell. This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed data structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm

2008-05-07T19:02:12Z

This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time, so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed. Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table. The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration settings that a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed. b) Are cached for some time until they expire. So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not cached, or if the active calibration setting expires. Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future. This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the huge static calibration tables. This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.

b43: Add NPHY radio init code

2008-01-28T23:09:53Z

This adds some code to init the 2055 radio. This patch adds two files "tables_nphy.h" and "tables_nphy.c" Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add support for new firmware

2008-01-28T23:09:50Z

This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W.

b43: Remove the PHY spinlock

2008-01-28T23:09:32Z

This fixes a sparse warning about weird locking. The spinlock is not needed, so simply remove it. This also adds some sanity checks to the PHY and radio locking to protect against recursive locking. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Fix PHY register routing

2008-01-28T23:09:32Z

This fixes the PHY routing bit handling. This is needed for N-PHY. No functional change to A-PHY and G-PHY code. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add N-PHY register definitions

2008-01-28T23:09:31Z

This patch adds all register definitions for the N-PHY. This adds two new files: nphy.h and nphy.c No functional changes to existing code. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Fix for broken transmission

2008-01-28T23:05:59Z

This patch fixes the transmission problems introduced by commit f04b3787bbce4567e28069a9ec97dcd804626ac7 I'm not sure if the dummy read is really required. The old code does it. I think it can't hurt and can possibly fix some write posting problems (hardware bugs or whatever. Who knows). Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: rewrite A PHY initialization

2008-01-28T23:04:31Z

Rewrite and sync A PHY initialization with specs, thus allowing for further work to be done on 802.11a support. Note that A PHY initialization involves G PHYs as well. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Acked-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[B43]: RF-kill support

2007-10-10T23:54:12Z

This adds full support for the RFKILL button and the RFKILL LED trigger. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
