The recent cleanups in the beacon code fixed SWBA backoff calculation,
however it did not remove a line of code that worked around the issues
from the earlier version of the code.
After the cleanup, the initial TSF based slot calculation now always
returns 0 instead of ATH_BCBUF-1, so the previous hack that reversed the
slot order needs to be removed, as ad-hoc mode does not use staggered
beacons.

When testing wpa_supplicant with 'nl80211' driver to connect
to an AP with WPA/WPA2 security, we notice the followings:
1) add_key is called firstly with the key from cfg80211
2) set_defaut_key is called next
set_default_key() is specific to WEP keys and should not be
called in case of WPA/WPA2 security. The set_default_key()
won't be called if wpa_supplicant uses "-Dwext" option,
but it's been called if "-Dnl80211" option is specified.
We can fix this issue by adding a check to return from
set_default_key() if WEP key is not configured.

rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU

Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.

For STBC transmissions rt2x00 used the number of RxSTBC streams the
destination STA indicates in its HT capabilities as STBC value in
the TXWI.
However, the legacy drivers and our own comment in rt2800.h suggest
that the STBC field in the TXWI only allows a value of 0 or 1.
The values 2 and 3 are reserved (probably for future devices).
And indeed, STBC transmissions to STAs indicating more then 1
RxSTBC stream fail when the STBC field is set to something >1.
Fix this by only setting the STBC field to 1 when STBC should be
used.

for a 4-byte aligned payload rt2x00queue_align_payload is obsolete
as mac80211 will align the payload when it passes the frame to the
net stack.
As a result we can remove the call to rt2x00queue_align_payload in the
rx path and since that's the last user we can remove
rt2x00queue_align_payload altogether.
One advantage is that we save some alignment operations for frames

Instead of hardcoding the tx status fifo size as 512 calculate it based
on the number of tx queues and the number of entries per queue. Also
round the size up to a power of 2 as kfifo would otherwise round it
down.
On rt2800pci this will increase the kfifo size from 512 bytes to 1024
bytes which is then able to hold the tx status for all entries in all
tx queues.
Furthermore, if the number of tx queues or tx entries changes in the

Stuck beacon detection is supposed to trigger when 9 consecutive beacons
could not be sent by the hardware. When the driver runs only one active
AP mode interface, it still configures the hardware beacon timer for
4 (ATH_BCBUF) beacon slots slots, which causes stuck beacon detection
to be reset if ath9k_hw_stoptxdma clears the stuck frames between
SWBA intervals.
Fix this by not resetting the missed beacon count for empty slots and
multiplying the threshold not by the maximum number of beacon slots
but by the configured number of beacon interfaces.

AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks
when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors).
Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's
better to let the driver use that unit directly.
To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing
certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags
are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored,
ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf

If the outgoing packet rate to a particular HT station is <=6.5
Mbps, do not attempt to create an ampdu. Also, if the outgoing
rate is legacy rate, do not create an ampdu.

When an ampdu stream is on, if the firmware rate adaptation
logic decides that the outgoing packet rate to the station needs
to go below 6.5Mbps (non HT rate), it sends an event indicating that
the ampdu stream needs to be destroyed. Handle this event in the driver
and destroy the ampdu stream so that the rate can go below 6.5Mbps

Specifically, handle ampdu_action and attempt to start a BA
session on receiving the first qos packet from mac80211 for
transmission to a HT sta. While the BA session is being created,
all the packets belonging to that stream will be dropped to
prevent sequence number mismatch at the recipient.

We now have two different kinds of queues. And the number of
AMPDU queues may vary. So we must be clear about which queues we
are dealing with. Note that when we report the number of queues
to mac80211, we only report the WMM queues.

Firmware APIv2 adds the following enhancements:
-- capabilities are reported by the firmware
-- API supports up to 8 dedicated AMPDU streams
-- optional packet timestamping and expiration can be enabled.
Specifically, packets that are queued in firmware for longer
than 500ms will be dropped if this option is used.

Specifically, APIv2 will specify a variable number of AMPDU
queues in the MWL8K_CMD_GET_HW_SPEC. So init the tx queues after
MWL8K_CMD_GET_HW_SPEC for ap fw.
Also, we make it safe to deinit queues that have not been init'd.
This happens if the mwl8k_get_hw_spec_ap routine fails, for
example.

Fine-tuning register write operation and avoid unnecessay
delays for ath9k_htc driver, saves hw reset time which
improves scanning time and also solves one of the following
scenario.
Sometimes the ACK is sent by STA for assoc response is not
seen at AP side. So the AP continues to send retry assoc
responses. At the STA side, since the assoc response was
already forwarded to mac80211, it proceeded to channel change
which in turns does chip reset.
In most of the cases the chip reset was completed before
max retries are reached at AP side. Hence STA can able to ACK
the retried frames again. But in clear environment these retries
are completed within shortspan of time.
Since ath9k_htc consumes more time for hw reset, this latency
is causing dissociation by AP due to max reties are reached.
This issue was originally reported with Cisco Aironet 1250 AP
in HT40 mode in noise free environment.

If change_interface gets invoked during a firmware
restart, it may crash; prevent that from happening
by checking if ctx->vif is assigned.
Additionally, in my initial commit I forgot to set
the vif->p2p variable correctly, so fix that too.

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

After new NetworkManager 0.8.996 changes, hardware scanning is causing
microcode errors as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683571
and sometimes kernel crashes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688252
Also with hw scan there are very bad performance on some systems
as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671366
Since Intel no longer supports 3945, there is no chance to get proper
firmware fixes, we need workaround problems by disable hardware scanning
by default.
