2007-10-10[MAC80211]: fix software decryptionJohannes Berg2-46/+74
When doing key selection for software decryption, mac80211 gets a few things wrong: it always uses pairwise keys if configured, even if the frame is addressed to a multicast address. Also, it doesn't allow using a key index of zero if a pairwise key has also been found. This patch changes the key selection code to be (more) in line with the 802.11 specification. I have confirmed that with this, multicast frames are correctly decrypted and I've tested with WEP as well. While at it, I've cleaned up the semantics of the hardware flags IEEE80211_HW_WEP_INCLUDE_IV and IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP and clarified them in the mac80211.h header; it is also now allowed to set the IEEE80211_HW_DEVICE_HIDES_WEP option even if it only applies to frames that have been decrypted by the hw, unencrypted frames must be dropped but encrypted frames that the hardware couldn't handle can be passed up unmodified.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: avoid copying packets to interfaces that are downJohannes Berg2-0/+12
David Woodhouse noticed that under some circumstances the number of slab allocations kept growing. After looking a bit, this seemed to happen when you had a management mode interface that was *down*. The reason for this is that when the device is down, all management frames get queued to the in-kernel MLME (via ieee80211_sta_rx_mgmt) but then the sta work is invoked but doesn't run when the netif is down. When you then bring the interface up, all such frames are freed, but if you change the mode all of them are lost because the skb queue is reinitialised as soon as you go back to managed mode. The skb queue is correctly cleared when the interface is brought down, but the code doesn't account for the fact that it may be filled while it is not up. This patch should fix the issue by simply ignoring all interfaces that are down when going through the RX handlers.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: improved short preamble handlingDaniel Drake5-24/+74
Similarly to CTS protection, whether short preambles are used for 802.11b transmissions should be a per-subif setting, not device global. For STAs, this patch makes short preamble handling automatic based on the ERP IE. For APs, hostapd still uses the prism ioctls, but the write ioctl has been restricted to AP-only subifs. ieee80211_txrx_data.short_preamble (an unused field) was removed. Unfortunately, some API changes were required for the following functions: - ieee80211_generic_frame_duration - ieee80211_rts_duration - ieee80211_ctstoself_duration - ieee80211_rts_get - ieee80211_ctstoself_get Affected drivers were updated accordingly.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: Add LONG_RETRY flag to ieee80211_tx_controlIvo van Doorn1-0/+1
mac80211 informs the driver what the short and long retry values are through set_retry_limit(), but when packets are being transmitted it did not inform the driver which of the 2 retry limits should actually be used. Instead it sends the actual value, but for drivers that can only set the retry limit and the register and in the descriptor need to indicate which of the limits should be used this is not really useful. This patch will add a IEEE80211_TXCTL_LONG_RETRY_LIMIT flag to the ieee80211_tx_control structure. By default the short retry limit should be used but if the flag is set the long retry should be used. This does not prevent the driver to ignore the request for "no retry" packets, but at least those will be send out with the short retry limit. But there is no perfect cure for this problem.. :( Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2007-10-10[MAC80211]: STA reassociation improvementsDaniel Drake2-2/+17
My cheapy D-Link AP behaves strangely w.r.t reassociations. The following sequence of commands causes me to lose association and to be unable to regain it: ifconfig eth8 down ifconfig eth8 up iwconfig eth8 essid <x> This is because mac80211 tries to reassociate, rather than just associate. My AP replies with an association response (not a reassociation response...) denying the association with code 12: "Association denied due to reason outside the scope of this standard" mac80211 tries this reassociation another 4 times or so before finally giving up. I see 2 problems here: 1. bringing the interface down and up again should be resetting interface state i.e. after the interface is brought down, it should have no memory of if or where it was previously associated 2. after the first reassociation fails, mac80211 should fall back to standard association for the next attempt Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-07-17[PATCH] mac80211: regulatory domain cleanupDaniel Drake5-135/+164
Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle regulatory domain control.

This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion: ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis (doesn't have to deal with netdevs).

2007-07-12[PATCH] mac80211: improved 802.11g CTS protectionDaniel Drake5-12/+13
Currently, CTS protection is partially implemented twice: 1. via prism2 ioctls, only used by hostapd 2. via STA beacon parsing, recorded in sta.use_protection but never used (other than printed in debugfs) Protection control should be implemented on a per-subif basis. For example, a single physical device may be running a soft AP on one channel, and a STA on another. The AP interface should use protection based on what hostapd told it, and the STA interface should use protection based on beacon parsing. These should operate independantly: one subif using protection should not influence the other. To implement this, I moved the use_protection flag into ieee80211_sub_if_data and removed the device-global cts_protect_erp_frames flag. I also made the PRISM2_PARAM_CTS_PROTECT_ERP_FRAMES write operation only available for AP interfaces, to avoid any possibility of the user messing with the behaviour of a STA.

2007-07-12[PATCH] mac80211: ERP IE handling improvementsDaniel Drake2-19/+56
The "protection needed" flag is currently parsed out of the ERP IE in beacons. This patch allows the ERP IE to be available at assocation time and causes the appropriate actions to be performed earlier. It is slightly complicated by the fact that most APs don't include the ERP IE in association responses. To work around this, we store ERP values in the ieee80211_sta_bss structure. Also added some WLAN_ERP defines for use by upcoming patches. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
