2008-08-26mac80211: don't send empty extended rates IEJan-Espen Pettersen
The association request includes a list of supported data rates. 802.11b: 4 supported rates. 802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates. 802.11a: 8 supported rates. The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of 802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs. 'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than rates_len would seem more correct.

2008-08-26mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOMJouni Malinen
The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.

2008-07-14mac80211: revamp beacon configurationJohannes Berg
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

2008-07-14mac80211: make master netdev handling saneJohannes Berg
Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however, is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power saving stations.) Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on the list of interfaces either. This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which lets me remove a lot of tests for that - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called on the master netdev any more.

2008-06-14mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()Vladimir Koutny
In IBSS mode prior to join/creation of new IBSS it is possible that a frame from unknown station is received and an ibss_add_sta() is called. This will cause a warning in rate_lowest_index() since the list of supported rates of our station is not initialized yet. The fix is to add ibss stations with a rate we received that frame at; this single-element set will be extended later based on beacon data.

This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get(). TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function through the timer handler's argument. The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers. ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in stat_info_get(). The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8 instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming patches.
