From the original report:
"I had problems to get my rtl8185 PCI card running on Sparc64: I always
got an error about "No suitable DMA available" followed by an error
that no device could be detected. When comparing the rtl8180 driver to
others I noticed that others are mostly using DMA_BIT_MASK so I changed
the custom mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) which fixed my issue."

Device documentation suggests that hardware support for beaconing
is available. But I implemented software-based beacon generation
as an experiment and it seems better to have that working now rather
than waiting for something better to materialize.

It is checked in add_interface, but there it is easily replaced with
a check of priv->vif. If that information should become necessary,
it is available in vif->type anyway.
It is also checked in led_turn_on and led_turn_off, where I made the
substitutions as described above. Of course, these checks seem to
have been incorrect since the driver was using NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR
to indicate no interface rather than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
Anyway, I think these checks may be extraneous...?

Michael Buesch reports that his rtl8187 gives warnings on suspend
("queueing ieee80211 work while going to suspend" warnings), as rtl8187
can call ieee80211_queue_delayed_work after mac80211 is suspended.
This change enhances rtl8187 led code so we can avoid queuing work after
mac80211 is suspended: now we register a radio led and make additional
checks to ensure led is off/on properly as mac80211 wants.

As reported by Rick Farina (sidhayn@gmail.com), removing the RTL8187
USB stick, or unloading the driver rtl8187 using rmmod will cause a
kernel oops. There are at least two forms of the failure, (1) BUG:
Scheduling while atomic, and (2) a fatal kernel page fault. This
problem is reported in Bugzilla #14539.
This problem does not occur for kernel 2.6.31, but does for 2.6.32-rc2,
thus it is technically a regression; however, bisection did not locate
any faulty patch. The fix was found by comparing the faulty code in
rtl8187 with p54usb. My interpretation is that the handling of work
queues in mac80211 changed enough to the LEDs to be unregistered
before tasks on the work queues are cancelled. Previously, these
actions could be done in either order.
(Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> reports that the
code is the same in 2.6.31, so this may be a candidate for 2.6.31.x.

RTL8187B always needs MSR_LINK_ENEDCA flag to be set even when it is in
no link mode, otherwise it'll not be able to associate when this flag is
not set after the change "mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling".
By accident, setting BSSID of AP before association makes 8187B to
successfuly associate even when ENEDCA flag isn't set, which was the
case before the mac80211 change. But now the BSSID of AP we are trying
to associate is only available after association is successful, and
any attempt to associate without the needed flag doesn't work.

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.

The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and
RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the
trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned

Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.
