Bob Copeland 9c8b3eddc0 ath5k: avoid and warn on potential infinite loop
If we are trying to interpolate a curve with slope == 0, the return
value will always be the y-coordinate.  In this code we are looping
until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope
case can never happen, thus the loop never terminates.

The PCDAC steps come from the EEPROM and should never be equal, but
we should gracefully handle that case, so warn and bail out.

Bob Copeland 1071db863b ath5k: update beacons in AP mode
ath5k only generated the beacon when bss_info_changed() was called,
but for AP mode this is not enough, because the TIM IE would never
get updated and consequently PS mode clients wouldn't know about
buffered frames.  Instead, get a new beacon on every SWBA interrupt.

Jiri Slaby 6f5f39c95a ath5k: Enable AP mode
After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far...

 * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver
 and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after
 hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent
 but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have
 channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is
 probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob
 fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so
 now hostapd works as expected.

 * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when
 operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to
 mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started.
 We fixed that on the previous patch.

 We have some more things to deal with...

 * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd
 a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec
 (we get one beacon per sec).

 * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving +
 support PCF.

 ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that
 we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned
 patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less
 throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

Nick Kossifidis 428cbd4ff4 ath5k: Beaconing fixes
* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get
 no beacons + ath9k does it too.  Docs say that we must write 0 on
 this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be
 on the safe side.

 * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's
 why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages".

 * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower
 priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting
 the arblock ignore flag.

 * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since
 it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver
 part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make
 it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag.

 * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for
 a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we
 got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that
 the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting,
 so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message.

 Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-)

Nick Kossifidis a082381044 ath5k: Allow user/driver to set txpower
* Now that we have regulatory control enable the driver to set
 txpower on hw

 * Also use txpower table offset so that we can match
 power range set by user/driver with indices on power table.

 Tested 2 different cards (a CM9 and an RF5112-based ubnt) and got
 the same output using a remote machine to measure per-packet rssi
 (conected the cards using attenuators). I also switched between
 various tx power levels and i saw an equal power change on the remote
 machine (so txpower changes as expected) and verified that we have
 the same output on each rate.

Johannes Berg 2d0ddec5b2 mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed
The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

Johannes Berg 57c4d7b4c4 mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
      to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
      drivers, some are updated in this patch.

Bob Copeland 26925042b6 ath5k: manipulate rxlink and descriptor address under rxbuf lock
Grabbing an ath5k_buf then dropping the lock is racy because the
referenced descriptor can be obtained in another thread and released
before the buffer is handed to the hardware.  Likewise, manipulating
sc->rxlink without the lock can lead to having multiple self-linked
hardware descriptors.
