Johannes Berg e9aeabaeb9 mac80211: validate SIOCSIWPOWER arguments better
Don't accept any arguments we don't handle, and return error codes
instead of using an uninitialised stack value.

Johannes Berg 4797938c5d mac80211: clean up channel type config
The channel_type really doesn't need to be the only member in
a new structure, so remove the struct. Additionally, remove
the _CONF_CHANGE_HT flag and use _CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL when the
channel type changes, since that's enough of a change to require
reprogramming the hardware anyway.

Johannes Berg d1c3a37cee mac80211: clarify alignment docs, fix up alignment
Not all drivers are capable of passing properly aligned frames,
in particular with mesh networking no hardware will support
completely aligning it correctly.

This patch adds code to align the data payload to a 4-byte
boundary in memory for those platforms that require this, or
when CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is set.

I missed this during review of "mac80211: Fix tx power setting",
the user_power_level shouldn't be available to the driver but
rather be an internal value used to calculate the value for the

Nick Kossifidis 8465676241 ath5k: Minor QCU updates
* Sync qcu.c with legacy-hal
* Add some more comments
* Set QCU mask to save power (QCU mask controls which QCUs are attached
  to each DCU, we do a 1:1 mapping)

TODO: Use max QCU from EEPROM, further sync with legacy-hal and sam's
hal and a few more minor fixes.

I think after this we are ready to implement WME on the driver
part. Anyone interested ?

Alina Friedrichsen 0efcdfd6ed mac80211: Disallow to set multicast BSSID
Okay, here is the first of the five patches. After applying all
of them you should be able to build/join huge city mesh networks
(e.g. with the OLSR protocol) with the most of the mac80211 wireless
drivers by setting a fixed BSSID in the ad hoc mode. (If you found no
other bug/problem.) This was not specified in the original standard,
but is a widely used de facto standard.

The first patch now completely disallow to set multicast MAC addresses
as BSSID. The behavior before was really strange.

Luis R. Rodriguez c0d7c7af0a ath9k: remove superfluous check on changing channel
When we try to change the channel in ath9k its because
either the configuration indicates we *have* changed
channels or HT configuration has changed. In both cases
we want to do a reset. Either way mac80211 will inform us
when we want to actually change the channel so trust those
calls.

Although in the patch it may seem as I am doing more code
changes I am not, all I am doing is removing the initial
branch conditional and shifting the code to the left.

We note that we should be using a different clock rate value

Lets make the request to get the current noise floor threshold
from the EEPROM band specific as it is band specific, not mode
specific.

This also adds a backpointer on the private channel structure
back to the ieee80211_channel structure as this is now needed during
ath9k_hw_getnf().

Luis R. Rodriguez ae8d2858c5 ath9k: consolidate arguments on hw reset
HW reset calls pass the same variables or structs
which we can obtain easily from ah. Although this also applies
during channel changes as we will keep around the ath9k_channel
passed as an argument for now.

We now also now propagate the hw reset errors down.

Luis R. Rodriguez ce111badf5 ath9k: Rename ath_setcurmode() to ath_cache_conf_rate()
ath_setcurmode() is a bit misleading, all we are doing is
caching the rate for the corresponding configuration we
are using.

Luis R. Rodriguez 96742256ab ath9k: remove cache of rate preference when using 11g protection
No need to cache when we want to use 2Mbit/s for all protection
frames for 802.11g as we can determine that dynamically on
ath_buf_set_rate() itself.

Luis R. Rodriguez 030bb495c0 ath9k: use hw->conf on ath_setcurmode()
We don't need to use our own mode for setting the
the routine tries to do, in fact lets remove ath_chan2mode() now as
we can simply use the currently set band and the HT configuration
provided by mac80211 through the ieee80211_conf. This works on
changing channels as well as the internal ath9k_channel we use is
based on the ieee80211_channel in the config.

Luis R. Rodriguez 10c806b32d mac80211: add HT conf helpers
In HT capable drivers you often need to check if you
are currently using HT20 or HT40. This adds a few small
helpers to let drivers figure that out.
