2017-09-21	cfg80211: remove unused function ieee80211_data_from_8023()	Johannes Berg	1	-3/+0
	This function hasn't been used since the removal of iwmc3200wifi in 2012. It also appears to have a bug when qos=True, since then it'll copy uninitialized stack memory to the SKB. Just remove the function entirely. Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2017-03-31	cfg80211: add intro to documentation	Johannes Berg	1	-0/+3
	This introduction section should be used in the documentation, do that at the beginning of the cfg80211 chapter. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2017-03-31	cfg80211: Use a structure to pass connect response params	Vidyullatha Kanchanapally	1	-0/+6
	Currently the connect event from driver takes all the connection response parameters as arguments. With support for new features these response parameters can grow. Use a structure to pass these parameters rather than passing them as function arguments.

2017-01-14	Merge tag 'mac80211-next-for-davem-2017-01-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next	David S. Miller	1	-0/+3
	Johannes Berg says: ==================== For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases: * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain operations, and can opt in to this where applicable * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space) * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the kernel, which was already available to userspace * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no room to add them * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage (since unicast frames can use much higher rates, by ~3 orders of magnitude) * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for MAC address privacy (still requires driver support) * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-11-29	docs: Move the 802.11 guide into the driver-api manual	Jonathan Corbet	6	-0/+900
	Put this documentation with the other driver docs and try to keep the top level reasonably clean. Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
