2006-05-05	[PATCH] softmac: make non-operational after being stopped	Daniel Drake	1	-0/+4
	zd1211 with softmac and wpa_supplicant revealed an issue with softmac and the use of workqueues. Some of the work functions actually reschedule themselves, so this meant that there could still be pending work after flush_scheduled_work() had been called during ieee80211softmac_stop(). This patch introduces a "running" flag which is used to ensure that rescheduling does not happen in this situation. I also used this flag to ensure that softmac's hooks into ieee80211 are non-operational once the stop operation has been started. This simply makes softmac a little more robust, because I could crash it easily by receiving frames in the short timeframe after shutting down softmac and before turning off the ZD1211 radio. (ZD1211 is now fixed as well!) 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: fix SIOCSIWAP	Johannes Berg	1	-0/+2
	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.

2006-03-27	[PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.	David Woodhouse	1	-6/+11
	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.
