* cfg80211: fix debugfs error handlingJohannes Berg2008-10-141-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | If something goes wrong creating the debugfs dir or when debugfs is not compiled in, the current code might lead to trouble; make it more robust. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* wireless: a global static to local static improvementDenis ChengRq2008-09-241-9/+7
| | | | | | | | | | There are two improvements in this simple patch: 1. wiphy_counter is a static var only used in one function, so can use local static instead of global static; 2. wiphy_counter wrap handling killed one comparision; Signed-off-by: Denis ChengRq <crquan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* cfg80211: show interface typeJohannes Berg2008-09-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This patch makes cfg80211 show the interface in the nl80211 information about a specific interface. API users are required to keep the type updated (everything else is fairly complicated) but you will get a warning if you fail to keep it updated.

* cfg80211: clean up regulatory messJohannes Berg2008-09-241-144/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The recent code from Luis is an #ifdef hell and contains lots of code that's stuffed into the wrong file making a whole bunch of things needlessly non-static, and besides, what is it doing in core.c??

* cfg80211: fix static regdomainsJohannes Berg2008-09-241-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | When Luis added the static regdomains back he used +/-20 of the centre frequencies to account for 40MHz bandwidth neglecting the fact that 40MHz bandwidth cannot be used on the channels close to the allowed band edges.

* cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-151-2/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* cfg80211: keep track of supported interface modesLuis R. Rodriguez2008-09-051-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is obviously good for userspace to know up front which interface modes a given piece of hardware might support (even if adding such an interface might fail later because of concurrency issues), so let's make cfg80211 aware of that. For good measure, disallow adding interfaces in all other modes so drivers don't forget to announce support for one mode when they add it.

* wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_renameEric W. Biederman2008-05-141-5/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | device_rename only performs useful and race free validity checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it for all of the validity checking in cfg80211_dev_rename is racy. Instead implement all of the needed validity checking and locking in cfg80211_dev_rename. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg2008-02-291-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [WIRELESS] cfg80211: New wireless config infrastructure.Johannes Berg2007-04-251-0/+209
This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits. This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing virtual interfaces. This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual interfaces relies on.
