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:

Set a meaningful silence threshold value (replacing our previous "0"
default), which gets rid of the gratuitous "Link deterioration"
notifications that we've been receiving from firmware. This
notification feature tells the driver information to help it determine
when to pre-emptively restart the firmware/ucode in anticipation of
firmware errors! But since setting this new threshold, I haven't seen
any such notifications. At least it keeps the logs a little less busy.

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...

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(-)
and it shrinks the module a lot as well:
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
75177 2472 44 77693 12f7d drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko
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.)
