[PATCH] wireless: WE-20 compatibility for ESSID and NICKN ioctls

2006-10-19T21:08:19Z

WE-21 changed the ABI for the SIOC[SG]IW{ESSID,NICKN} ioctls by dropping NULL termination. This patch adds compatibility code so that WE-21 can work properly with WE-20 (and older) tools. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] WE-21 support (core API)

2006-09-25T20:52:14Z

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog : o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1) o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more o long/short retry This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean Tourrilhes. I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor). CC: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] Send wireless netlink events with a clean slate

2006-08-04T18:57:19Z

Drivers expect to be able to call wireless_send_event in arbitrary contexts. On the other hand, netlink really doesn't like being invoked in an IRQ context. So we need to postpone the sending of netlink skb's to a tasklet. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] wext: Fix RtNetlink ENCODE security permissions

2006-04-19T21:25:41Z

I've just realised that the RtNetlink code does not check the permission for SIOCGIWENCODE and SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, which means that any user can read the encryption keys. The fix is trivial and should go in 2.6.17 alonside the two other patch I sent you last week. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] WE-20 for kernel 2.6.16

2006-03-23T12:12:57Z

This is version 20 of the Wireless Extensions. This is the completion of the RtNetlink work I started early 2004, it enables the full Wireless Extension API over RtNetlink. Few comments on the patch : o totally driver transparent, no change in drivers needed. o iwevent were already RtNetlink based since they were created (around 2.5.7). This adds all the regular SET and GET requests over RtNetlink, using the exact same mechanism and data format as iwevents. o This is a Kconfig option, as currently most people have no need for it. Surprisingly, patch is actually small and well encapsulated. o Tested on SMP, attention as been paid to make it 64 bits clean. o Code do probably too many checks and could be further optimised, but better safe than sorry. o RtNetlink based version of the Wireless Tools available on my web page for people inclined to try out this stuff. I would also like to thank Alexey Kuznetsov for his helpful suggestions to make this patch better. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

Fix net/core/wireless.c link failure

It needs for compare_ether_addr()

[NET]: Change memcmp(,,ETH_ALEN) to compare_ether_addr()

2006-01-10T20:54:28Z

This changes some memcmp(one,two,ETH_ALEN) to compare_ether_addr(one,two). Signed-off-by: Kris Katterjohn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spam

2005-10-26T17:39:43Z

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy users. Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk() every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a reminder that the driver is using an old API. Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.
