2006-03-27[PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.David Woodhouse2-10/+19
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.

2006-03-27[PATCH] softmac: reduce scan dwell timeDavid Woodhouse1-1/+1
It currently takes something like 8 seconds to do a scan, because we spend half a second on each channel. Reduce that time to 20ms per channel. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-03-27[PATCH] Minor (janitorial) change to ieee80211Larry Finger1-2/+2
The attached patch removes a potential problem from ieee80211_wx.c, by changing the name of routine ipw2100_translate_scan to ieee80211_translate_scan. The problem is minor as the routine is declared static; however, if it were made global, it would pollute the namespace. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2006-03-23[PATCH] Restore channel setting after scan.David Woodhouse1-0/+7
After a scan, we weren't switching back to the original channel if we were associated with an AP. So NetworkManager's periodic scans would disrupt connectivity until the ESSID was manually set again. Fix that. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-03-22[PATCH] softmac: update deauth handler to quiet warningJohannes Berg2-5/+5

2006-03-22[PATCH] ieee80211_rx_any: filter out packets, call ieee80211_rx or ieee80211_rx_mgtDenis Vlasenko1-0/+74
Version 2 of the patch. Added checks for version 0 and proper from/to DS bits. Even in promisc mode we won't receive packets from another BSSes. bcm43xx_rx() contains code to filter out packets from foreign BSSes and decide whether to call ieee80211_rx or ieee80211_rx_mgt. This is not bcm specific. Patch adapts that code and adds it to 80211 as ieee80211_rx_any() function. Signed-off-by: Denis Vlasenko <vda@ilport.com.ua> Signed-off-by: John W.

2006-03-17[PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets.James Ketrenos1-1/+13
This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even if they were received on a channel other than that which the network exists on. This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and 3, but at much lower signal levels. If scanning was done sequentially, this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.

2006-03-15[PATCH] ieee80211: Fix QoS is not active problemHong Liu1-2/+2
Fix QoS is not active even the network and the card is QOS enabled. The problem is we pass the wrong ieee80211_network address to ipw_handle_beacon/ipw_handle_probe_response, thus the ieee80211_network->qos_data.active will not be set, causing the driver not sending QoS frames at all.

2006-02-27[PATCH] ieee80211_geo.c: remove frivolous BUG_ON'sPete Zaitcev1-3/+6
I have come to consider BUG_ON generally harmful. The idea of an assert is to prevent a program to execute past a point where its state is known erroneous, thus preventing it from dealing more damage to the data (or hiding the traces of malfunction). The problem is, in kernel this harm has to be balanced against the harm of forced reboot. The last straw was our softmac tree, where "iwlist eth1 scan" causes a lockup. It is absolutely frivolus and provides no advantages a normal assert has to provide. In fact, doing this impedes debugging. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

On my system, I get unhandled management functions corresponding to IEEE80211_STYPE_REASSOC_REQ and IEEE80211_STYPE_ASSOC_REQ.

2006-01-30[PATCH] ieee80211: common wx auth codeLarry Finger1-0/+89
This patch creates two functions ieee80211_wx_set_auth and ieee80211_wx_get_auth that can be used by drivers for the wireless extension handlers instead of writing their own, if the implementation should be software only. These patches enable using bcm43xx devices with WPA and this seems (as far as I can tell) to be the only difference between the stock ieee80211 and softmac's ieee80211 left.

2006-01-27[PATCH] ieee80211: Add helpers for IBSS DFS handlingZhu Yi1-0/+18
To support IEEE 802.11h in IBSS, an ibss_dfs field is added to struct ieee80211_network. In IBSS, if one STA sends a beacon with DFS info (for radar detection), all the other STAs should receive and store this DFS. All STAs should send the DFS as one of the information element in the beacon they are scheduled to send (if possible) in the future. Since the ibss_dfs has variable length, it must be allocated dynamically. ieee80211_network_reset() is added to clear the ibss_dfs field. ieee80211_network_free() is also updated to free the ibss_dfs field if it is not NULL.
