This patch fixes scanning for specific ssid's which is broken due to the

John W. Linville 7f3ad8943e mac80211: make "decrypt failed" messages conditional upon MAC80211_DEBUG
Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile
conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG.  They have been useful for
finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just
clutter a user's logs.

A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a
single BSSID but with different protection schemes or different keys
for each SSID.  In such an environment these messages are just noise.
Let's just leave them for those interested enough to turn-on debugging.

Johannes Berg 5b98b1f7da mac80211: use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED rather than IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT
In the long bug-hunt for why dynamic WEP networks didn't work it
turned out that mac80211 incorrectly uses IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT while
it should use IW_AUTH_PRIVACY_INVOKED to determine whether to
associate to protected networks or not.

This patch changes the behaviour to be that way and clarifies the
existing code.

The driver operations set_ieee8021x(), set_port_auth() and

Johannes Berg ac71c691e6 mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-in
Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled
or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence
their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm
being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into
the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case
it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another
rate control algorithm.)

  45711f1af6 ("[SG] Update drivers to use sg helpers")
  fa05f1286b ("Update net/ to use sg helpers")

converted many files to use the scatter gather helpers without ensuring
that the necessary headerfile <linux/scatterlist> is included.  This
happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they
happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>.

On most of the others this probably broke.

Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include
<linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

John W. Linville 67a4cce4a8 [PATCH] mac80211: make ieee802_11_parse_elems return void
Some APs send management frames with junk padding after the last IE.
We already account for a similar problem with some Apple Airport
devices, but at least one device is known to send more than a single
extra byte.  The device in question is the Draytek Vigor2900:

	http://www.draytek.com.au/products/Vigor2900.php

The junk in question looks like an IE that runs off the end of the
frame.  This cause us to return ParseFailed.  Since the frame in
question is an association response, this causes us to fail to associate
with this AP.

The return code from ieee802_11_parse_elems is superfluous.
All callers still check for the presence of the specific IEs that
interest them anyway.  So, remove the return code so the parse never
"fails".

John W. Linville 0654ff055c [PATCH] ieee80211_if_set_type: make check for master dev more explicit
Problem description by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>:

"This sequence of events causes loss of connectivity:

<plug in>
<associate as normal in managed mode>
ifconfig eth7 down
iwconfig eth7 mode monitor
ifconfig eth7 up
ifconfig eth7 down
iwconfig eth7 mode managed
<associate as normal>

At this point you are associated but TX does not work. This is because
the eth7 hard_start_xmit is still ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit."

The problem is caused by ieee80211_if_set_type checking for a non-zero
hard_start_xmit pointer value in order to avoid changing that value for
master devices.  The fix is to make that check more explicitly linked to
master devices rather than simply checking if the value has been
previously set.

When we update the counters iff_promiscs and iff_allmultis
in struct ieee80211_local we have no common lock held to
protect them. The problem is that the update to each counter
may not be atomic, so we could end up with iff_promiscs == -1
in unfortunate conditions. To fix it, use atomic_t values.
It doesn't matter whether the two counters are updated
together atomically or not, if there are two invocations
of set_multicast_list we will end up with multiple
configure_filter() invocations of which the latter will always
be correct.

Johannes Berg b2e7771e55 [PATCH] mac80211: pass frames to monitor interfaces early
This makes mac80211 pass all frames to monitor interfaces early
before all receive processing with the benefit that only a single
copy needs to be made, all monitors can receive clones of the skb
and if the frame will be discarded we don't even need to make a
single copy.

Johannes Berg 5b2812e925 [PATCH] mac80211: fix interface initialisation and deinitialisation
When an interface is registered it is still uninitialised so
ieee80211_if_reinit() can't be called on it (it will oops.)
Hence, we need to move the uninit method assignment.

Also, this patch fixes the bug that the master device is never
initialised nor deinitialised at all. Oddly, the deinit code
had an if statement to not run some code when running for the
master interface (which never happened), but that if statement
is also wrong. Fix that too.

Now that the uninit code is run for the master device, another
bug surfaced: it tries to remove all dependent interfaces and
that oopses or BUGs at some point, either because it unregisters
already unregistered interfaces (missing list_del bug) or due
to trying to iterate a list that has had other things removed.
Fix this too by handling the master interface specially.

Johannes Berg 79010420cc [PATCH] mac80211: fix virtual interface locking
Florian Lohoff noticed a bug in mac80211: when bringing the
master interface down while other virtual interfaces are up
we call dev_close() under a spinlock which is not allowed.
This patch removes the sub_if_lock used by mac80211 in favour
of using an RCU list. All list manipulations are already done
under rtnl so are well protected against each other, and the
read-side locks we took in the RX and TX code are already in
RCU read-side critical sections.
