| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new mesh configuration parameter "ht_opmode" and will allow user to check the current HT protection mode selected. Users could configure the protection mode by the command "iw mesh_iface set mesh_param mesh_ht_protection_mode=2". The default protection mode of mesh is set to non-HT mixed mode.

| * cfg80211: fix BSS comparisonEmmanuel Grumbach2012-05-081-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the BSS table is organized in a RB tree, the BSSs need to be comparable. This means that we must define a < and > operator to the BSS object. compare_ethr_addr isn't enough since it returns only a binary value. Since Felix's cfg80211: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> The BSS table is corrupted: rb_find_bss can't find the bss. As a result BSSes are duplicated in the BSS table, and we get stuck while probing an AP before associating (in STA mode).

* cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP modeVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2012-03-051-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT, to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag, NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags through which drivers can register their capability to use the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

* {nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peeringAshok Nagarajan2012-03-052-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range. This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold. This feature is supported only for hardwares that report signal in dBm.

* cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode APIJohannes Berg2012-02-221-113/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc. Modify the API to the following: * start AP -- all settings * change beacon -- new beacon data * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename the commands there correspondingly (but keep the old names for compatibility.) Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going on in the API. Kalle developed the ath6kl changes, I created the rest of the patch.

* cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg2012-02-064-318/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.
