nl80211: ensure interface is up in various APIs

2012-05-07T15:53:22Z

commit 2b5f8b0b44e17e625cfba1e7b88db44f4dcc0441 upstream. [backported by Ben Greear] The nl80211 handling code should ensure as much as it can that the interface is in a valid state, it can certainly ensure the interface is running. Not doing so can cause calls through mac80211 into the driver that result in warnings and unspecified behaviour in the driver.

nl80211: fix old station flags compatibility

2012-01-11T20:14:50Z

My patch to validate station flags broke compatibility with the old station flags setting where all flags are always set at once since it always set the mask as all possible flags which ended up being rejected later in the station add/modify code. Fix by parsing only the current flags in the old flags attribute -- new applications and new flags should use (and will now require) the new flags attribute where the mask is given by the application.

wireless: Treat IPv6 diffserv the same as IPv4 for 802.11e

Wireless will select a different hardware queue based on the top 3 bits of the diffserv field, for ipv4. Extend that queue selection mechanism to ipv6, and make the calls orthogonal. Signed-off-by: Dave TÃ¤ht Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: relicense reg.c reg.h and genregdb.awk to ISC

2012-01-04T19:30:41Z

Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA, wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased entities: o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0] - Frans Pop - Frans Pop o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2] - ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com - kalle.valo@nokia.com Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled, "wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as uncopyrightable. As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia my contact point was Petri Karhula but after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing their contributions in previous patches. The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with the regulatory simulator [3].

cfg80211: replace reg.c Nokia commit 269ac5

2012-01-04T19:30:40Z

Nokia hasn't gotten back to me in over 1 month for a relicense change request. There are only a few changes that they contributed, so just reverting their changes but replacing with another set.

cfg80211: Restore orig channel values upon disconnect

2011-12-16T14:30:43Z

When we restore regulatory settings the world regulatory domain is properly reset on cfg80211 (or user prefered regulatory domain) but we were never setting back channel values for drivers that use WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY. Set these values up again by using the orig_ channel parameters. This fixes restoring custom regulatory settings upon disconnect events.
