In the scan section of ieee80211softmac, network transmits are
disabled. When SoftMAC re-enables transmits, it may override the
wishes of a driver that may have very good reasons for disabling
transmits. At least one failure in bcm43xx can be traced to this
problem. In addition, several unexplained problems may arise from
the unexpected enabling of transmits. Note that making this change
introduces a new bug that would allow transmits for the current session
to be transmitted on the wrong channel; however, the new bug is much
less severe than the one being fixed, as the new one only leads to
a few retransmits, whereas the old one can bring the interface down.
A fix that will not introduce new bugs is being investigated; however,
the current, more serious one should be fixed now.

The 802.11 header length is affected by the wireless mode (WDS or not) and
type (QoS or not). We should use the variable hdr_len instead of the
hard coded IEEE80211_3ADDR_LEN, otherwise we may touch invalid memory.

The "ieee80211: Workaround malformed 802.11 frames from AP" patch (see
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f09fc44d8c25f22c4d985bb93857338ed02feac6 )
fixes the problem with some buggy APs but also converts debug message into
an error one. This floods the log with errors when you are near such AP (you
get a message for every beacon). This patch reverts the error message back
to the debug one.

The IEEE80211 TKIP and WEP Tx and Rx paths use the same crypto_tfm to encrypt
and decrypt data. During the encrypt and decrypt process, both of them will
set a new key to crypto_tfm. If they happen on the same time, it will
corrupt the crypto_tfm. Thus users will receive an ICV error or Michael MIC
error. This only likely to happen on SMP box with heavy traffic both on Tx
and Rx. The patch use two sets of crypto_tfms to avoid this problem.

ieee80211_rx_any is new to 2.6.18-rc1, even though it appears this function
was never completed:
http://lists.sipsolutions.net/pipermail/softmac-dev/2006-February/000103.html
This patch changes ieee80211_rx_any to always claim the skb, which avoids
further driver complexity and the possibility of leaking management frames.
It also exports the function so that people can actually use it.

This patch implements ERP handling in softmac so that the drivers can support
protection and preambles properly.
I added a new struct, ieee80211softmac_bss_info, which is used for
BSS-dependent variables like these.
A new hook has been added (bssinfo_change), which allows the drivers to be
notified when anything in bssinfo changes.
I modified the txrates_change API to match the bssinfo_change API. The
existing one is a little messy and the usefulness of providing the old rates
is questionable (and can be implemented at driver level if really necessary).
No drivers are using this API (yet), so this should be safe.

This adds a flag to the ieee80211_network structure which indicates whether
the stored erp_value is valid (a check against 0 is not enough, since an ERP
of 0 is valid and very meaningful).
I also added the ERP IE bit-definitions to ieee80211.h.
This is needed by some upcoming softmac patches.

Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked
it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive
calls into the driver)
This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small
modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication
challenge response frame from a workqueue entry.
I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to
authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but
not patched in.

This patch addresses the "No queue exists" messages commonly seen during
authentication and associating. These appear due to scheduling multiple
authentication attempts on the same network. To prevent this, I added a
flag to stop multiple authentication attempts by the association layer.
I also added a check to the wx handler to see if we're connecting to a
different network than the one already in progress. This scenario was
causing multiple requests on the same network because the network BSSID
was not being updated despite the fact that the ESSID changed.

ieee80211softmac_assoc_req
In commit ba9b28d19a3251bb1dfe6a6f8cc89b96fb85f683, routine
ieee80211softmac_capabilities was added to ieee80211softmac_io.c. As
denoted by its name, it completes the capabilities IE that is
needed in the associate and reassociate requests sent to the
AP. For at least one AP, the Linksys WRT54G V5, the capabilities
field must set the 'short preamble' bit or the AP refuses to
associate. In the commit noted above, there is a call to the
new routine from ieee80211softmac_reassoc_req, but not from
ieee80211softmac_assoc_req. This patch fixes that oversight.
As noted in the subject, v2.6.17 is affected. My bcm43xx card had been
unable to associate since I was forced to buy a new AP. I finally was
able to get a packet dump and traced the problem to the capabilities
info. Although I had heard that a patch was "floating around", I had
not seen it before 2.6.17 was released. As this bug does not affect
security and I seem to have the only AP affected by it, there should
be no problem in leaving it for 2.6.18.

My router blew up earlier, but exhibited some interesting behaviour during
its dying moments. It was broadcasting beacons but wouldn't respond to
any authentication requests.
I noticed that softmac wasn't playing nice with this, as I couldn't make it try
to connect to other networks after it had timed out authenticating to my ill
router.
To resolve this, I modified the softmac event/notify API to pass the event
code to the callback, so that callbacks being notified from
IEEE80211SOFTMAC_EVENT_ANY masks can make some judgement. In this case, the
ieee80211softmac_assoc callback needs to make a decision based upon whether
the association passed or failed.

This patch finishes of the partially-complete shared key authentication
implementation in softmac.
The complication here is that we need to encrypt a management frame during
the authentication process. I don't think there are any other scenarios where
this would have to happen.
To get around this without causing too many headaches, we decided to just use
software encryption for this frame. The softmac config option now selects
IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP so that we can ensure this available. This also involved
a modification to some otherwise unused ieee80211 API.

This patch is the first step towards rate control inside softmac.
The txrates substructure has been extended to provide
different fields for different types of packets (management/data,
unicast/multicast). These fields are updated on association to values
compatible with the access point we are associating to.
Drivers can then use the new ieee80211softmac_suggest_txrate() function
call when deciding which rate to transmit each frame at. This is
immensely useful for ZD1211, and bcm can use it too.
The user can still specify a rate through iwconfig, which is matched
for all transmissions (assuming the rate they have specified is in
the rate set required by the AP).
At a later date, we can incorporate automatic rate management into
the ieee80211softmac_recalc_txrates() function.
This patch also removes the mcast_fallback field. Sam Leffler pointed
out that this field is meaningless, because no driver will ever be
retransmitting mcast frames (they are not acked).

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!)

When wpa_supplicant exits, it uses SIOCSIWMLME to request
