* [PATCH] mac80211: improved 802.11g CTS protectionDaniel Drake2007-07-121-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, CTS protection is partially implemented twice: 1. via prism2 ioctls, only used by hostapd 2. via STA beacon parsing, recorded in sta.use_protection but never used (other than printed in debugfs) Protection control should be implemented on a per-subif basis. For example, a single physical device may be running a soft AP on one channel, and a STA on another. The AP interface should use protection based on what hostapd told it, and the STA interface should use protection based on beacon parsing. These should operate independantly: one subif using protection should not influence the other. To implement this, I moved the use_protection flag into ieee80211_sub_if_data and removed the device-global cts_protect_erp_frames flag. I also made the PRISM2_PARAM_CTS_PROTECT_ERP_FRAMES write operation only available for AP interfaces, to avoid any possibility of the user messing with the behaviour of a STA.

* [PATCH] mac80211: clarify some mac80211 thingsJohannes Berg2007-07-121-17/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantics of not having an add_interface callback are not well defined, this callback is required because otherwise you cannot obtain the requested MAC address of the device. Change the documentation to reflect this, add a note about having no MAC address at all, add a warning that mac_addr in struct ieee80211_if_init_conf can be NULL and finally verify that a few callbacks are assigned by way of BUG_ON() Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.

* [PATCH] mac80211: kill rate control ioctlsJohannes Berg2007-07-121-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | These aren't used anywhere (hostapd, wpa_supplicant) and until we have a proper interface to the rate control algorithms they don't make much sense either since e.g. rc80211_lowest won't honour them.

| | | | | | | | | | This patch separates the monitor interface start_xmit from the subif start xmit (those other devices have 802.3 framing, monitor interfaces have radiotap framing) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: John W.

* [PATCH] mac80211: show transmitted frames on monitor interfacesJohannes Berg2007-07-121-23/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes mac80211 show transmitted frames on monitor interfaces, including radiotap headers that indicate some transmission parameters. The shown parameters will need to be expanded, but this should work as a basis to work from.
