Sujith 8b30b1fe36 mac80211: Re-enable aggregation
Wireless HW without any dedicated queues for aggregation
do not need the ampdu_queues mechanism present right now
in mac80211. Since mac80211 is still incomplete wrt TX MQ
changes, do not allow aggregation sessions for drivers that
set ampdu_queues.

This is only an interim hack until Intel fixes the requeue issue.

Johannes Berg ae5eb02641 mac80211: rewrite HT handling
The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
 * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
   hence has no chance of working as an AP
 * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
 * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
 * it generally lets the driver control too much

HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().

Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
 * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
             more since the refactoring
 * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
               mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
 * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API

I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.

Johannes Berg 4233df6b74 ath9k/mac80211: disallow fragmentation in ath9k, report to userspace
As I've reported, ath9k currently fails utterly when fragmentation
is enabled. This makes ath9k "support" hardware fragmentation by
not supporting fragmentation at all to avoid the double-free issue.
The patch also changes mac80211 to report errors from the driver
operation to userspace.

That hack in ath9k should be removed once the rate control algorithm
it has is fixed, and we can at that time consider removing the hw
fragmentation support entirely since it's not used by any driver.

Johannes Berg 4b7679a561 mac80211: clean up rate control API
Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.

There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.

Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

Jouni Malinen 69da6b87fc ath9k: Assign seq# when mac80211 requests this
Use TX control flag IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ as a request to update
the seq# for the frames. This will likely require some further cleanup
to get seq# correctly for Beacons vs. other frames and also potentially
for multiple BSSes. Anyway, this is better than ending up sending out
most frames with seq# 0.

(This is a backport of patch w/ same title already in net-next-2.6.
It is verified to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11394
and it should be acceptable for -rc due to the driver being new
in 2.6.27.)

Luis R. Rodriguez f59ac04816 cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modes
It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which
interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even
if adding such an interface might fail later because of
concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that.
For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other
modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode
when they add it.

Senthil Balasubramanian 773b4e02be ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.
This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.

As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.

Pasted the kernel warning message for reference.

Senthil Balasubramanian 1b96175b7e ath9k: Incorrect key used when group and pairwise ciphers are different.
Updating sc_keytype multiple times when groupwise and pairwise
ciphers are different results in incorrect pairwise key type
assumed for TX control and normal ping fails. This works fine
for cases where both groupwise and pairwise ciphers are same.

Also use mac80211 provided enums for key length calculation.
