2008-09-24mac80211: mesh portal functionality supportYanBo
Currently the mesh code doesn't support bridging mesh point interfaces with wired ethernet or AP to construct an MPP or MAP. This patch adds code to support the "6 address frame format packet" functionality to mesh point interfaces. Now the mesh network can be used as backhaul for end to end communication.

2008-09-11mac80211: move some HT code out of mlme.cJohannes Berg
Some of the HT code in mlme.c is misplaced: * constants/definitions belong to the ieee80211.h header * code being used in other modes as well shouldn't be there Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-06-14mac80211: add helpers for frame control testingHarvey Harrison
A few general categories: 1) ieee80211_has_* tests if particular fctl bits are set, the helpers are de in the same order as the fctl defines: A combined _has_a4 was also added to test when both FROMDS and TODS are set. 2) ieee80211_is_* is meant to test whether the frame control is of a certain ftype - data, mgmt, ctl, and two special helpers _is_data_qos, _is_data_pres which also test a subset of the stype space. When testing for a particular stype applicable only to one ftype, functions like ieee80211_is_ack have been added. Note that the ftype is also being checked in these helpers. They have been added for all mgmt and ctl stypes in the same order as the STYPE defines. 3) ieee80211_get_* is meant to take a struct ieee80211_hdr * and returns a pointer to somewhere in the struct, see get_SA, get_DA, get_qos_ctl. The intel wireless drivers had helpers that used this namespace, convert the all to use the new helpers and remove the byteshifting as they were defined in cpu-order rather than little-endian.

2008-06-03mac80211: allow disable FAT in specific configurationsEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch allows to disable FAT channel in specific configurations. For example the configuration (8, +1), (primary channel 8, extension channel 12) isn't permitted in U.S., but (8, -1), (primary channel 8, extension channel 4) is. When FAT channel configuration is not permitted, FAT channel should be reported as not supported in the capabilities of the HT IE in association request. And sssociation is performed on 20Mhz channel. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-05-21mac80211: separate Tx and Rx MCS when configuring HTRon Rindjunsky
This patch follows the 11n spec in separation between Tx and Rx MCS capabilities. Up until now, when configuring the HT possible set of Tx MCS only Rx MCS were considered, assuming they are the same as the Tx MCS. This patch fixed this by looking at low level driver Tx capabilities.

2008-04-23mac80211: update mesh EID valuesLuis Carlos Cobo
This patch updates mesh EID values, some of which where conflicting with already-approved 11h EIDs (pointed out by Tomas Winkler). I wanted to use the values suggested in the last available 802.11 draft (2.0) but it assigns 50 to MESH_CONFIG, the same value than EXT_SUPP_RATES.

2008-01-28mac80211: adding 802.11n definitions in ieee80211.hRon Rindjunsky
This patch adds several structs and definitions to ieee80211.h to support 802.11n draft specifications. As 802.11n depends on and extends the 802.11e standard in several issues, there are also several definitions that belong to 802.11e.

It also updates the comment on IEEE80211_MAX_DATA_LEN based on revisions in 802.11e. IEEE80211_MAX_FRAG_THRESHOLD and IEEE80211_MAX_RTS_THRESHOLD are also revised due to the new maximum frame size.

2007-07-12[PATCH] mac80211: ERP IE handling improvementsDaniel Drake
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>
