2009-12-21wireless: report reasonable bitrate for MCS rates through wextJohn W. Linville
Previously, cfg80211 had reported "0" for MCS (i.e. 802.11n) bitrates through the wireless extensions interface. However, nl80211 was converting MCS rates into a reasonable bitrate number. This patch moves the nl80211 code to cfg80211 where it is now shared between both the nl80211 interface and the wireless extensions interface. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-12-09cfg80211: Clear encryption privacy when key off is done.Vivek Natarajan
When the current_bss is not set, 'iwconfig <iface> key off' does not clear the private flag. Hence after we connect with WEP to an AP and then try to connect with another non-WEP AP, it does not work. This issue will not be seen if supplicant is used.

2009-08-28cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type changeJohannes Berg
When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

2009-08-14cfg80211: fix locking for SIWFREQJohannes Berg
"cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces" contained a locking bug -- in the managed-mode SIWFREQ call it would end up running into a lock recursion. This fixes it by not checking that particular interface for a channel that it needs to stay on, which is as it should be as that's the interface we're setting the channel for.

2009-08-14cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfacesJohannes Berg
Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory enforcement and connection stability, in that it is possible to switch the channel while connected to a network or joined to an IBSS. The problem comes from the fact that we only validate the channel against the current interface's type, not against any other interface. Thus, you have any type of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This will obviously also switch the channel on the other interface. The problem now is that if you do that while sending beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing. Combined with a managed mode interface connected to an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily break the connection that way. To fix this, this patch validates any channel change with all available interfaces, and disallows such changes on secondary interfaces if another interface is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

2009-07-29cfg80211: self-contained wext handling where possibleJohannes Berg
Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for! This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation _completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of wireless extensions. This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext now! RIP wext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-24cfg80211: fix wext statsJohannes Berg

2009-07-24cfg80211: rework key operationJohannes Berg
This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.

2009-05-20cfg80211: allow wext to remove keys that don't existJohannes Berg
Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems. The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the key doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-13nl80211: Add RSC configuration for new keysJouni Malinen
When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).

2009-05-13cfg80211: implement wext key handlingJohannes Berg
Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext compatibility. Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted" for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets" and "Accept non-encoded packets".

2009-05-11cfg80211: fix wext iw_freq parsingJohannes Berg
The function to parse a struct iw_freq has a stupid bug, it returns NULL when the channel cannot be found at all, but NULL is supposed to mean "auto". Fix this by checking the return value of ieee80211_get_channel() and returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if it returned NULL (channel not found). This fixes an issue where you could say (in IBSS mode) iwconfig wlan0 channel 21 and it would use channel 1 instead because that's the first available channel with IBSS allowed (which is what the "auto" setting uses).

2009-04-22cfg80211: mark all WEXT handlers _GPLJohannes Berg
The fact that these are exported is a technical detail of the conversion period -- we don't want anybody to start relying on these.

Add new nl80211 attributes that can be used with NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY and NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY to manage fragmentation/RTS threshold and retry limits. Since these values are stored in struct wiphy, remove the local copy from mac80211 where feasible (frag & rts threshold). The retry limits are currently needed in struct ieee80211_conf, but these could be eventually removed since the driver should have access to the values in struct wiphy.

2009-04-22cfg80211: clean up includesJohannes Berg
Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h) and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to a new header net/regulatory.h. The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections. There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling and some very minor documentation fixes. I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly in a file that only had my copyright line.

2009-04-22cfg80211/nl80211: add IBSS APIJohannes Berg
This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers. The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS. The nl80211 API requires * an SSID * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS has to be created It optionally supports * a flag to fix the channel * a fixed BSSID The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it also caches values when the interface is down and instructs the driver to join when the interface is set up.
