Reinette Chatre d2dfe6df75 iwlwifi: enable serialization of synchronous commands
Until now it was only possible to have one synchronous command running at
any time. If a synchronous command is in progress when a second request
arrives then the second command will fail. Create a new mutex specific for
this purpose to only allow one synchronous command at a time, but enable
other commands to wait instead of fail if a synchronous command is in
progress.

Reinette Chatre 4a6547c748 iwl3945: remove STATUS macros from header
iwl3945 includes iwl-core.h in which these STATUS flags are already
defined. This also removes a potential confusing definition with iwlcore
using STATUS_MODE_PENDING with value 18 and iwl3945 defining (but not
using) STATUS_CONF_PENDING for value 18.

Felix Fietkau 5c0ba62fd4 ath9k: fix rate control fallback rate selection
When selecting the tx fallback rate, rc.c used a separate variable
'nrix' for storing the next rate index, however it did not use that as
reference for further rate index lowering. Because of that, it ended up
reusing the same rate for multiple multi-rate retry stages, thus
decreasing delivery probability under changing link conditions.

This patch removes the separate (unnecessary) variable and fixes
fallback the way it was intended to work.
This should result in increased throughput and better link stability.

Kalle Valo ffb9eb3d8b nl80211: add power save commands
The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.

I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:

Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.

Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.

Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.

Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

Another PCMCIA device with Intersil Prism chipset has been reported:

Socket 0:

  manfid: 0x02e0, 0x1011
  function: 6 (network)

As it's the case with some other Prism based devices, the third ID
string contains a design name that should be sufficient to identify the
card as having Intersil Prism chipset and thus compatible with both
orinoco_cs and hostap_cs.

Introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID3 that matches the third ID string only.

Use it in orinoco_cs and hostap_cs to match cards with the third ID
string indicating Prism chipset.  Remove corresponding entries that use
PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID123.

Jouni Malinen 026331c4d9 cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames
This implements a new command to register for action frames
that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.

Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.

Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Support for rt30xx- and rt35xx-based devices is currently not functional

In order to not confuse users we shouldn't claim the PCI and USB device

have them available, although disabled by default.
Make support for these device configuration options that default to off.

For rt2800usb a 3rd class of devices is added, which are the unknown
devices. For these devices it is known that they are either based on
rt28xx, rt30xx or rt35xx, but it is not known on what chipset exactly.
These devices are disabled by default as well, until it can be established
on what chipset exactly they are based.

Randy Dunlap 2bf9fa6980 wireless: airo_cs build fixes
When WEXT_PRIV is not enabled, airo_cs has build errors.
It needs to include net/iw_handler.h and it should select
WEXT_PRIV, like the airo driver does.

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 0e956c132f nl80211: does not allow NEW_STATION and DEL_STATION for mesh
As discussed in linux-wireless mailing list, adding and removing
stations for mesh topologies is not necessary. Since doing it triggers
bugs, the sugestion was to simply disable it.

Tested using a custom iw command "station new". Works only after using
hostapd. "station del" command also works.

Johannes Berg 2f5265e6e7 mac80211: fix netdev rename
Fix a copy bug introduced by

    Date:   Wed Nov 25 17:46:19 2009 +0100

        mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev

This manifested itself only in debug messages
and in the debugfs rename failure that would
always happen due to trying to rename the dir
over itself.

Felix Fietkau 42c4568a4a ath9k: add a workaround for ack timeout issues
Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke
association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout
value from the initvals with a smaller value.
I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval
there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the
problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen 1db5950f1d iwlwifi: Monitor and recover the aggregation TX flow failure
This change monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the expected_
ack_count also drops.  At the same time, the aggregated ba_timeout (the number
of ba timeout retries) also rises.  If the actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count
ratio is 0 and the number of ba timeout retries rises to 16, no tx packets
(tcp, udp, or ping - icmp) can be delivered.  The driver recovers from this
situation by reseting the uCode firmware.  If the actual_ack_count/expected_
ack_count ratio drops below 50% (but not 0) and the aggregated ba_timeout
retries just exceed 5 (but not 16), then the driver can reset the radio to
bring the throughput up.
