2010-05-12e1000e: Fix/cleanup PHY reset code for ICHx/PCHxBruce Allan
i) Fixes a bug where e1000_sw_lcd_config_ich8lan() was calling e1000_lan_init_done_ich8lan() to poll the STATUS.LAN_INIT_DONE bit to make sure the MAC had completed the PHY configuration. However, e1000_lan_init_done_ich8lan() had already been called in one of the two places where PHY reset occurs for ICHx/PCHx parts, which caused the second call to busy-wait for 150 msec because the LAN_INIT_DONE bit had already been checked and cleared. ii) Cleanup the two separate PHY reset code paths, i.e. the full-chip reset in e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan() and the PHY-only reset in e1000_phy_hw_reset_ich8lan(). There was duplicate code in both paths to be performed post-reset that are now combined into one new function - e1000_post_phy_reset_ich8lan(). This cleanup also included moving the clearing of the PHY Reset Asserted bit in the STATUS register (now done for all ICH/PCH parts) and the check for the indication from h/w that basic configuration has completed back to where it previously was in e1000_get_cfg_done_ich8lan(). iii) Corrected a few comments Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-05-12e1000e: fix checks for manageability enabled and management pass-throughBruce Allan
The mac->arc_subsystem was being incorrectly used to flag whether or not manageability was enabled when it should only be used to state whether the ARC (Host interface) subsystem is available on a particular MAC _and_ only valid when any manageability is enabled. The ARC subsystem is currently only available on 80003es2lan and 82573 parts supported by the driver. A new flag, has_fwsm, is introduced to be used when checking if manageability is enabled but only on parts that acutally have an FWSM register. While the above parts have an FWSM register, there are other parts that have FWSM but do not have support for the ARC subsystem, namely 82571/2 and ICHx/PCH. And then there are parts that have manageability, but do not have either FWSM register or support for the ARC subsystem - these are 82574 and 82583. For 80003es2lan, 82571/2/3 and ICH/PCH parts, this patch makes no functional changes, it only corrects the usage of the manageability flags. For 82574 and 82583, it fixes the incorrect accesses of the non-existent FWSM register and ARC subsystem as well as corrects the check for management pass-through.

2010-05-12e1000e: Incorrect function pointer set for force_speed_duplex on 82577Bruce Allan
The force_speed_duplex function pointer was incorrectly set. Instead of calling the 82577-specific version it was calling the m88 version which, among other incorrect things, reset the PHY causing autonegotiation to be re-enabled in the PHY resulting in the link defaulting to half-duplex. The 82577-specific force_speed_duplex function also had an issue where it disabled Auto-MDI-X which caused the link to not come up.

2010-05-12e1000e: Cleanup e1000_sw_lcd_config_ich8lan()Bruce Allan
After every reset all ICH/PCH parts call this function which acquires the swflag, performs a workaround on applicable parts and releases the swflag. There is no reason for parts for which this workaround is not applicable to acquire and release the swflag so the function should just return without doing anything for these parts. This also provides for the indentation of most of the function contents to be shifted left cleaning up the code.

2010-05-12e1000e: s/w initiated LSC MSI-X interrupts not generated; no transmitBruce Allan
In MSI-X mode when an IMPI SoL session was active (i.e. the PHY reset was blocked), the LSC interrupt generated by s/w to start the watchdog which started the transmitter was not getting fired by the hardware because bit 24 (the 'other' cause bit) also needed to be set. Without an active SoL session, the PHY was reset which caused the h/w to fire the LSC interrupt.

2010-05-12e1000e: bad state after running ethtool diagnostics with AMT enabledBruce Allan
When running ethtool online diagnostics with no open interface, there is a short period of time where the driver relinquishes control of the adapter during which time AMT (manageability firmware) can put the adapter into an unknown state resulting in such things as link test failure, hardware hang, reporting an incorrect link speed, etc. Resetting the adapter during an open() resolves this by putting the adapter into a quiescent state.

2010-05-07wl1271: Fix to join and channel number handlingJuuso Oikarinen
This patch changes the way JOIN's are performed, and channel numbers updated. The reason for this is that the firmware JOIN command clears WPA(2) key material, and if done while associated to a WPA(2) secured AP, will render the data-path unusable. While the channel is not usually changed while associated (and currently we could not even support something like that), after performing a scan operation while associated, mac80211 will re-set the current channel to the driver. This caused our problem. Also, the mac80211 is assuming that the driver channel configuration remains persistent over periods of IDLE. Therefore remove channel resetting to zero from the unjoin function.

This has no real functional change, this just moves the setting the the mac80211 rate index into ath9k_process_rate(). This allows us to eventually make ath9k_process_rate() return a negative value in case we have detected a specific case rate situation which should have been ignored. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2010-05-07rtl8180: add software-based support for IBSS modeJohn W. Linville
Device documentation suggests that hardware support for beaconing is available. But I implemented software-based beacon generation as an experiment and it seems better to have that working now rather than waiting for something better to materialize. Signed-off-by: John W.
