2.6.17-rc1 changed the title for the entry CONFIG_NET_RADIO. I
personally disagree with this change and want it reverted. Patch for
2.6.17-rc1.
Rationale : WIRELESS_EXT is an invisible option. Therefore,
the only way for a user to enable it is via NET_RADIO. Some users need
to do that for out-of-tree drivers. Therefore it should be mentionned
in the title of the option.
Rationale2 : the option just below is called "Wireless
Extension API over RtNetlink". Some users may confuse this option for
the main "Wireless Extension" option. Therefore reverting this change
help disambiguate the relation between those two options.

It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which
does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right.
Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down.
The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first
fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both
skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse
of the second skb's memory.
This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch
below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler,
which is good, right?

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

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format.
The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of
image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users:
1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug
are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to
load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously)
2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct
boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts.
Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your
firmware image to the 3.0 version available from:

The patch roll back the change we made to support for the ability to
start/stop independent Tx queues within a single net device in order to
support 802.11e QoS. We need to be able to indicate to the upper layers
that packets of a given priority can not be sent any more without halting
transmission of all packets, and without rescheduling high priority packets
down to the next priority level.
So we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY in this case and rely on the stack would
take care of rescheduling... which it apparently does immediately and
consumes the CPU. This caused the ksoftirqd kernel thread consuming almost
all the CPU...
To put the code back to the way it was before we made these changes we
put the call netif_queue_stop back in ipw_tx_skb. This effectively
disables multiple priority based transmit queues for 802.11e, but given
that its broken anyway...

This patch fixes a number of bugs in the authentication process:
1) When falling back to Shared Key authentication mode from Open System,
a missing 'return' would cause the auth request to be sent, but would
drop the card into Management Error state. When falling back, the
driver should also indicate that it is switching to Shared Key mode by
setting exclude_unencrypted.
2) Initial authentication modes were apparently wrong in some cases,
causing the driver to attempt Shared Key authentication mode when in
fact the access point didn't support that mode or even had WEP disabled.
The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on
wep_is_on and exclude_unencrypted.
3) Authentication response packets from the access point in Open System
mode were getting ignored because the driver was expecting the sequence
number of a Shared Key mode response. The patch separates the OS and SK
mode handling to provide the correct behavior.

Checking the stack usage of my kernel, showed that ipw2200 had a few bad
offenders. This is on i386 32-bit:
0x00002876 ipw_send_associate: 544
0x000028ee ipw_send_associate: 544
0x000027dc ipw_send_scan_request_ext: 520
0x00002864 ipw_set_sensitivity: 520
0x00005eac ipw_set_rsn_capa: 520
The reason is the host_cmd structure is large (500 bytes). All other
functions currently using ipw_send_cmd() suffer from the same problem.
This patch introduces ipw_send_cmd_simple() for commands with no data
transfer, and ipw_send_cmd_pdu() for commands with a data payload and
makes the payload a pointer to the buffer passed in from the caller.
As an added bonus, the diffstat looks like this:
ipw2200.c | 260 +++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------------------
ipw2200.h | 2
2 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 170 deletions(-)

After:

I can't really help with why restarts happen, but the following patch
greatly increases the likelihood that a firmware reload will succeed
afterward on my thinkpad. It addresses two issues. First, sysfs module
loading and hotplug are asynchronous, and as such file operations on the
"loading" and "data" files are racy when you load 2 firmwares in quick
succession. Second, the timeout for DMAing the firmware needs to scale
with the size of the firmware being loaded. That is, the watchdog needs
to be on throughput, not on time alone.
I no longer get the firmware load errors, though this is at best a hacky
workaround for a racy interface. (Obviously, this does nothing to address
the fatal errors in firmware which cause reloads; it just causes the
initial loading and the reloads to work more often.)

The ipw2100 driver misunderstood the parameter of txpower.
Tx Power off means turn off the radio, but the driver interpret it as
"can't set txpower". So when getting the txpower, it sets disabled=1 to
the iwconifg tool in managed mode. And the tool will display "Tx Power off"
when disabled=1.
Now, in managed mode, iwconfig will not show "TX Power" if the radio is not

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.
With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:
int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

The linked list of devices managed by each PCMCIA driver is, in very most
cases, unused. Therefore, remove it from many drivers.

Unify the "detach" and REMOVAL_EVENT handlers to one "remove" function.
Old functionality is preserved, for the moment.

Move the suspend and resume methods out of the event handler, and into
special functions. Also use these functions for pre- and post-reset, as
almost all drivers already do, and the remaining ones can easily be
converted.

Hello Jeff,
this patch changes causes the airo driver to not reset the card when a
temporary WEP key is set, when the IW_ENCODE_TEMP flag is used. This is
needed for xsupplicant as 802.1x, LEAP, etc. change WEP keys frequently
after authentication and resetting the card causes infinite
reauthentication.
Javier and Jean agree with the patch, Javier suggested I send this to
you, can you apply this?
Thanks.

without this patch after an rmmod, modprobe the card won't work anymore
until the next reboot.
This patch seem safe to apply for all cards as the bsd driver already do
that.
I had to add a timeout because strange things happen (issuecommand will
fail) if the card is already reseted (after a reboot).
PS : it seems there are missing reset when leaving monitor mode...

hermas_bap_pread, hermes_bap_pwrite, and hermes_bap_pwrite_pad all have a parameter "len" that is declared unsigned,
but checked for a value less than zero. Auditing the callers, it is possible for len to be passed a negative value, so len should be an int.

This fixes a slab corruption issue in the ipw2200 driver: it essentially
multiplied the error log number _twice_ by the size of the error element
entry (once explicitly in the code, and once implicitly as part of the
regular pointer arithmetic).

The function ipw_request_direct_scan() should bail out when the device
is down. This fixes a lockup caused by wpa_supplicant triggering
ipw_request_direct_scan() while the driver was in a middle of a reset
due to firmware errors.
Thanks to Zilvinas Valinskas for reporting the bug and helping me
debug it.

I wanted to remove the #include "hostap_ioctl.c" from hostap.c and
build hostap_ioctl.c separately, but this doesn't work since hostap.c
has the same name as the module.
After renaming hostap.c this will be possible.
