cfg80211: Add background scan period attribute.

2012-03-12T18:19:34Z

Receive background scan period as part of connect command and pass the same to the driver. Signed-off-by: Bala Shanmugam Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211/mac80211: report signal strength for mgmt frames

2012-03-06T20:16:05Z

Add the signal strength (in dBm only for now) to frames that are received via nl80211's various frame APIs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: Add an attribute to set inactivity timeout in AP mode

2012-03-05T20:38:34Z

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 peering

2012-03-05T20:23:15Z

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. Signed-off-by: Ashok Nagarajan Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode API

2012-02-22T19:51:18Z

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.

nl80211: add support for mcs masks

2012-01-30T20:48:25Z

Allow to set mcs masks through nl80211. We also allow to set MCS rates but no legacy rates (and vice versa). Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich Signed-off-by: Mathias Kretschmer Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: Add support of setting non-forwarding entity in Mesh

2012-01-27T19:56:56Z

A mesh node that joins the mesh network is by default a forwarding entity. This patch allows the mesh node to set as non-forwarding entity. Whenever dot11MeshForwarding is set to 0, the mesh node can prevent itself from forwarding the traffic which is not destined to him. Signed-off-by: Chun-Yeow Yeoh Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: Return beacon loss count in station

2011-12-19T19:34:13Z

If station info contains a beacon loss count, return it to userspace. Signed-off-by: Paul Stewart Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling better

2011-12-15T19:45:45Z

The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

nl80211: Parse channel type attribute in an ibss join request

2011-12-06T21:05:24Z

Prepare cfg80211 for IBSS HT: * extend cfg80211 ibss struct with channel_type * Check if extension channel can be used * Export can_beacon_sec_chan for use in mac80211 (will be called from ibss.c later).
