2010-09-16ath5k: Use common ath key management functionsBruno Randolf2-19/+17
Use common ath key management functions in ath5k. This fixes problems with HW encryption in AP mode, which was broken in the ath5k implementation. Before (with the ath5k implementation) only one client could connect to the AP using HW encryption and WPA. When a second client connected, the first client was not able to send/receive any more packets. Because of the problems with HW encryption, software encryption was always used in AP mode, which resulted in a high CPU load (and/or low thruput) on embedded devices. Instead of trying to fix the implementation in ath5k it makes more sense to share the code with ath9k. This also enables HW encryption for AP mode again.

2010-09-16ath: Copy key cache management functions from ath9k to athBruno Randolf4-1/+620
Copied the key cache management functions from ath9k (common.c and hw.c) to ath/key.c so we can use them from ath5k, later. Minor changes have been made: - renamed ath9k_* to ath_* - replaced ah->caps.keycache_size with common->keymax - removed ATH9K_IS_MIC_ENABLED since it is always true. - the AR_PCU_MIC_NEW_LOC_ENA flag is replaced with (splitmic == 0).

2010-09-14ath9k: fix BSSID mask calculationFelix Fietkau3-50/+17
At the time the .add_interface driver op is called, the interface has not been marked as running yet, so ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces will not pass it to the iterator function. Because of this, the calculated BSSID mask is wrong, which breaks multi-BSS operation. Additionally, the current way of comparing all addresses against each other is pointless, as the hardware only uses the hardware MAC address and the BSSID mask for matching the destination address, so all the address array reallocation is completely unnecessary. This patch simplifies the logic by setting the initial mask bytes to 0xff and removing all bits in the iterator call that don't match the hardware MAC address. It also calls the iterator for the vif that was passed to add_interface() Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Tested-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The CPU consumption during the scan period is high, since the register write go over Interrupt endpoint. On downloading the firmware to the target, the USB descriptors are 'patched' to change the type of the endpoints from Interrupt to Bulk.

2010-08-16ath9k: shorten the calibration interval during strong interferenceFelix Fietkau2-2/+8
When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong interference, sensitivity is also reduced. In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds, until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

2010-08-16ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibrationFelix Fietkau4-4/+65
When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference. Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped. Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay connected. With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal -> periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains. In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference (measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit several mbits/s through the interface. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
