mwifiex: toggle carrier state in start_ap/stop_ap.

2015-10-28T19:00:01+00:00

In uap mode the carrier is not enabled until after the first STA joins. The carrier triggers the bridge to start its state machine, and if STP is enabled, it takes 4 seconds as it transitions from disabled to forwarding. During this time the bridge drops all traffic, and the EAPOL handshake times out after 3 seconds, preventing stations from joining. Follow the logic used in mac80211 and start the carrier in start_ap and disable it in stop_ap. This has a nice benefit of allowing the first station connection time to be reduced by up to 75% when STP is in use.

mwifiex: add ndo_validate_addr netdev ops

2015-10-14T11:22:07+00:00

ndo_validate_addr is set to generic eth_validate_addr() function used for MAC address validation. Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mwifiex: fix AP VHT behaviour

2015-10-14T11:22:06+00:00

Even if hostapd configuration file contains VHT parameters, they were not getting reflected in beacons. The reason is we are resetting them before starting AP. This patch removes redundant BSS_STOP and SYS_RESET firmware commands before starting AP to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Ganapathi Bhat Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mwifiex: control WLAN and bluetooth coexistence modes

2015-10-14T11:21:29+00:00

By default our chip will be in spatial coexistence mode. This patch adds a provision to change it to timeshare mode via debugfs command. Enable timeshare coexistence mode echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/timeshare_coex Go back to spacial coexistence mode echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/timeshare_coex Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

mwifiex: correction in USB8997 chipset's product ID

2015-10-14T11:14:18+00:00

For 8897 chipset, mwifiex_usb unnecessarily used to come into picture when wlan is supposed to be used via PCIe interface and USB interface is for bluetooth. This problem has been resolved for newer chipset by having separate USB product ids for USB-USB8997 and PCIe-USB8997 chipset variants. This patch ensures to use wlan specific product id.

mwifiex: remove USB8897 chipset support

2015-10-14T11:14:16+00:00

We don't have any customer using this chipset via USB interface. if both mwifiex_pcie and mwifiex_usb modules are enabled by user, sometimes mwifiex_usb wins the race even if user wants wlan interface to be on PCIe and USB for bluetooth.
