mac80211: add support for HW scheduled scan

2011-05-11T19:12:27Z

Implement support for HW scheduled scan. The mac80211 code doesn't perform scheduled scans itself, but calls the driver to start and stop scheduled scans. This patch also creates a trace event class to be used by drv_hw_scan and the new drv_sched_scan_start and drv_sched_stop functions, in order to avoid duplicate code.

mac80211: add basic support for WoWLAN

2011-05-05T18:59:20Z

This adds basic support for the new WoWLAN configuration in mac80211. The behaviour is completely offloaded to the driver though, with two new callbacks (suspend/resume). Options for the driver include a complete reconfiguration after wakeup, and exposing all the triggers it wants to support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: Add new API for rate selection

2011-04-28T18:53:19Z

This patch adds a new API for setting a TX rate mask in drivers that have rate control in either the firmware or hardware. This can be used for various purposes, for example, masking out the 11b rates in P2P operation. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: allow low level drivers to report packet loss

2011-04-28T18:50:00Z

Add API that allows low level drivers to notify mac80211 about TX packet loss. This is useful when there are FW triggers to notify the low level driver about these events. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add a function for setting the TIM bit for a specific station

2011-04-19T19:38:05Z

This allows a driver to buffer frames for a PS station and tell mac80211 to wake it up even though mac80211 does not have any buffered frames for it. This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering, in ath9k, because the driver needs to keep its frames in order to keep track of the Block-ACK window.

mac80211: Check for queued frames before entering power save.

2011-04-12T20:57:34Z

In a highly noisy environment, the tx rate of the driver drops and the application slows down since it has not yet received ACKs for the frames already queued in the hardware. Since this ACK may take more than 100ms, stopping the dev queues for entering PS at this stage breaks applications, WMM test cases in my testing. If there are frames already pending in the tx queue, postponing the PS logic helps to avoid redundant queue stops. When power save is enabled by default and in a noisy environment, this API certainly helps in improving the average throughput. Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
