If multicast parameter (as returned by zd_op_prepare_multicast) has
changed, no bit in changed_flags is set. To handle this situation, we do
not return if changed_flags is 0. If we do so, we will have some issue
with IPv6 which uses multicast for link layer address resolution.

First, we reduce the number of hardware retries to 0 (ie 2 real retries
for each rate). Next, when we report the retries to mac80211, we always
report a retry count of 1 (it seems to be 2 in fact, but using 2 seems
to lead to wrong performance for some reason). We use a state machine to
determine the real fate of a packet based on the 802.11 ACK and what the
Zydas hardware is saying when a real retry occurs. The real retry rates
are encoded in a static array. It has been tested with both zd1211 and
zd1211b hardware. Of course, since the Zydas hardware is not reporting
retries accurately, we are just doing our best in order to get the best
performance (ie higher throughput).

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(epd)
usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd)
usb_endpoint_xfer_int(epd)
usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd)
In some cases, introducing one of these functions is not possible, and it
just replaces an explicit integer value by one of the following constants:
USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK
USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL
USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_INT
USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_ISOC
In drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c the code:
(endpoint->bEndpointAddress & USB_TYPE_MASK) == USB_DIR_OUT
is suspicious. If it is intended to use USB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK rather than
USB_TYPE_MASK, then the whole conditional test could be converted to a call
to usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in.

trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

this adds initial IBSS support for the zydas zd1211rw:
convince driver that it can do IBSS mode. add mac80211 beacon_update callback.
IBSS merge and TSF updates don't work yet, but it makes the driver usable in
ad-hoc networks.

zd_mac_tx_to_dev() could potentially free the skb, or hand it off
to mac80211 which might free it. Hence, this code needs to get the
usb pointer out of skb->cb before handing it off to that function.

The previously unused CR_CAM_MODE register is set to MODE_AP_WDS. This makes the
driver ack mesh (WDS) frames. It does not affect Infra functionality of the
driver.
Previously missing beaconing support has been added. This might also help
implement a currently missing ah-hoc mode.
Support for interrupts from the device have been added, but we are not handling
most of them.
Mesh interfaces are considered associated as long as the interface is up.

We must not clear the FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC bit in the
new_flags. The zd-driver does support sending beacons and
probe responses to the host. What the flag does is say "Send me
all beacons and probe responses". And we actually do that. We always
do that, so we ignore the case when the bit is disabled. But that is
fine. But we must not clear the flag, as that tells mac80211 that
we do not support passing beacons and probe responses to the stack.
And that's not true.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.
This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.
This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
* drivers are notified of their association AID
* drivers are notified of association status
and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables

Shaddy Baddah found an alignment problem with zd1211rw driver at
2007-11-19. This patch fixes it, it is based on the patch proposed by
Herbert Xu. The alignment 4 has been the agreed value on the
linux-wireless mailing list.
Notify that the problem does only affect the old zd1211rw softmac
driver and not the zd1211rw-mac80211 driver. Daniel Drake has
already provided a patch for the replacement of the softmac
driver, which this patch will break.

The kernel now provides a generic hexdump implementation should we need
it again, so we can remove it from zd1211rw. After removing that, only
one single-user function is left in zd_util. Move that to zd_mac and
remove zd_util.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it. The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.
