2012-09-21mac80211: don't send delBA before disassocJohannes Berg
When we disassociate, it's not really useful to send delBA action frames since we're going to send disassoc/deauth anyway, so change that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-09-14mac80211: handle power constraint/country IE betterJohannes Berg
Currently, mac80211 uses the power constraint IE, and reduces the regulatory max TX power by it. This can cause issues if the AP is advertising a large power constraint value matching a high TX power in its country IE, for example in this case: ... Country: US Environment: Indoor/Outdoor ... Channels [157 - 157] @ 30 dBm ... Power constraint: 13 dB ... What happened here is that our local regulatory TX power is 15 dBm, and gets reduced by 13 dB so we end up with only 2 dBm effective TX power, which is way too low. Instead, handle the country IE/power constraint IE combined and restrict our TX power to the max of the regulatory power and the maximum power advertised by the AP, in this case 17 dBm (= 30 dBm - 13 dB). Also print a message when this happens to let the user know and help us debug issues with it. Reported-by: Carl A. Cook <CACook@quantum-equities.com> Tested-by: Carl A.

2012-08-20mac80211: pass channel to ieee80211_send_probe_reqJohannes Berg
In multi-channel scenarios, the channel that we will transmit a probe request on isn't always the current channel (which will be NULL anyway) but will instead be the channel that the AP is on. Pass the channel to the ieee80211_send_probe_req() function so it can be used in the different scenarios. The scan code continues to pass the current channel, of course.

2012-08-01mac80211: clear timer bits when disconnectingJohannes Berg
There's a corner case that can happen when we suspend with a timer running, then resume and disconnect. If we connect again, suspend and resume we might start timers that shouldn't be running.

2012-08-01mac80211: reset station MLME flags upon new associationJohannes Berg
When associating anew, the old station MLME flags should be cleared. The only exception is the 40 MHz disable flag as it might have been set while the channel was set in a previous authentication attempt so it needs to be kept intact. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: fix current vs. operating channel in preq/beaconJohannes Berg
When sending probe requests, e.g. during software scanning, these will go out on the *current* channel, so their IEs need to be built from the current channel. At other times, e.g. for beacons or probe request templates, the IEs will be used on the *operating* channel and using the current channel instead might result in errors. Add the appropriate parameters to respect the difference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: use oper_channel in managed mlmeJohannes Berg
Using hw.conf.channel is wrong as it could be the temporary channel if any function like the beacon get function is called while scanning or during other temporary out-of-channel activities. Use oper_channel instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: set channel only once during auth/assocJohannes Berg
There's no need to set up the channel during auth and again during assoc, just do it once. Currently this doesn't result in any changes since calling hw_config() with an unchanged channel will return early, but with the channel context work this has an impact on channel context assignment.

2012-07-31mac80211: rename sta to new_staJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: supress HT/VHT disable if not supportedJohannes Berg
If HT/VHT isn't supported by us we shouldn't print a message that we disabled it, do that only if the AP didn't support WMM and we therefore disable it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller
Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

2012-07-31mac80211: don't call mgd_prepare_tx when associatedEmmanuel Grumbach
This doesn't make any sense since we are expected to be on the medium or at least to Tx only when we are on the right channel and the AP/GO can hear us. Move the call to mgd_prepare_tx() for deauth to be only done in case we're sending a deauth while not associated.

2012-07-31mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoringJohannes Berg
If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection. If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring, then it won't drop the connection right away but probe the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the connection was actually lost. Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW does connection monitoring. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-17mac80211: go out of PS before sending disassocEliad Peller
on disassoc, ieee80211_set_disassoc() goes out of PS before indicating BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC (not sure why this is needed, but some drivers might count on the current behavior). However, it does it after sending the disassoc frame, which results in null-data frame being sent (in order to go out of ps) after we were already sent the disassoc, which is invalid. Fix it by going out of ps before sending the disassoc. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-12mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assocJohannes Berg
Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really is needed is synchronisation between some device time and the TSF. To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This is intentionally not using the mactime field since that is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the device timestamp. Also, since we have the information and it's useful even before the connection has been established, give all the timing details to the driver before authenticating.

2012-07-09mac80211: destroy assoc_data correctly if assoc failsEliad Peller
If association failed due to internal error (e.g. no supported rates IE), we call ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data() with assoc=true, while we actually reject the association. This results in the BSSID not being zeroed out. After passing assoc=false, we no longer have to call sta_info_destroy_addr() explicitly. While on it, move the "associated" message after the assoc_success check.

2012-07-09mac80211: update BSS info on AC parameters changeJohannes Berg
When the AC parameters change, drivers might rely on getting a bss_info_changed notification with BSS_CHANGED_QOS in addition to the conf_tx call. Always call the function when userspace updates are made (in AP/GO modes) and also set the change flag when updates were made by the AP (in managed mode.)

2012-07-03mac80211: add TX prepare APIJohannes Berg
Some drivers require setup before being able to send management frames in managed mode, in particular in multi-channel cases. Introduce API to allow the drivers to do such setup while being able to sleep waiting for the setup to finish in the device. This isn't possible inside the TX call since that can't sleep. A future patch may also restructure the TX retry to wait for the driver to report the frame status, as suggested by Arik in http://mid.gmane.org/CA+XVXffKSEL6ZQPQ98x-zO-NL2=TNF1uN==mprRyUmAaRn254g@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-06-28mac80211: don't require associated->beacon_ies for psEliad Peller
beacon_ies is needed only in order to extract the dtim period. However, even if it's missing we can still enter ps with dtim=1 (which also happens if the TIM ie is invalid). Most drivers don't use conf.max_sleep_period/ps_dtim_period anyway, and this check prevents them from entering ps if they don't have beacon (but only probe response), even though the beacon is not needed at all.

One example is when the AP is beaconing with the short slot bit set to zero and then we try to connect to it with long slot. In this case, we would keep using long slot until the next beacon was received. Fix this by using the correct capability value when calling ieee80211_handle_bss_capability().
