| * mac82011: Allow selection of minstrel_ht as default rc algorithmHelmut Schaa2010-06-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow selection of minstrel_ht as default rate control algorithm. At the moment minstrel_ht can only be requested by the driver code but not selected as default in make menuconfig. Fix this by using minstrel_ht when minstrel was selected as default and minstrel_ht is available. This change won't affect legacy devices as minstrel_ht falls back to minstrel in that case.

| * ath9k: fix TSF after reset on AR913xFelix Fietkau2010-06-301-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs to be preserved in software here. Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the TSF write after the initval-writes usually works. This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Legacy driver indicates that BBP1_TX_ANTENNA must be set to 0 for TXPATH values of 1 and 3. So the previous statement that nothing should be done for TXPATH = 3, is false. Furthermore, remove the false BBP3_RX_ANTENNA initialization when TXPATH is 1 for PCI and SOC devices. This field will always be overridden in the next switch statement, making this initialization bogus. History of this line indicates it was there from the beginning, and was once caught as typo. Instead of replacing the line with the correct line, the correct line was added...

| * rt2x00: fix beacon reset on rt2800Helmut Schaa2010-06-301-18/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an interface is removed the according beacon entry should be reset. The current approach to only clear the first word is not enough to stop the device from sending out the beacon, hence resulting in beacons being sent out for already removed interfaces. Fix this by invalidating the entire TXWI in front of the beacon instead of only the first word. Also clear all beacons during startup in the same way.

| * ath9k: fix retry count for A-MPDU rate control status reportsFelix Fietkau2010-06-281-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU rate control stats. This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count from the ath_tx_status. Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which may not contain the correct rates in the tx info. This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is submitted. In my tests this change improves throughput visibly. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Reported-by: Björn Smedman <bjorn.smedman@venatech.se> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting, connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that initially attempted to address this: commit 1152dcc28c66a74b5b3f1a3ede0aa6729bfd48e4 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:42:58 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues. For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self protection. Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>

The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

| | * ath9k: Fix bug in starting aniVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2010-06-232-1/+11

This might lead to a case where ani timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic. This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset(). This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen with ar9003 + paprd.
