2011-03-02mac80211: allow AP configuration of beacon interval, DTIM period, maximum ↵nbd
permissible STA listen interval, and basic rates This introduces beacon_int and basic_rate (per wifi-device), and dtim_period and max_listen_int (per wifi-iface) for mac80211. These configure the beacon interval, basic rate specification, DTIM period (one DTIM per this many beacon frames), and maximum listen interval that a STA will be permitted to associate with. All of the new settings are optional; if they're absent, the existing hostapd (or, in the case of basic_rate, driver) defaults will be used. The existing bintval property only used for type adhoc is moved from wifi-iface to wifi-device, and is renamed to beacon_interval because bintval isn't a great name. The beacon interval is property of the wifi-device; while the choice between wifi-device and wifi-iface may not be relevant with an adhoc network, there's no reason to configure the same property one way for type adhoc and another for type ap. This change isn't expected to cause many problems, as bintval was added recently, in r25111. Similarly, the list of basic rates, also added for type adhoc in r25111, is a property of the device and not the interface. Further, it ought to be represented in UCI as a list, not a string dependent on the format that iw uses. I’ve moved it onto the device, renamed it to basic_rate, and made it configurable for APs via hostapd. Finally, I adapted it to use the same kb/s representation as mcast_rate; there's precedent for this format in that it's also how madwifi interprets mcast_rate. Neither bintval nor basicrates were ever documented in the UCI wireless configuration page on the wiki. When this change is committed, I'll update the documentation as needed.

2011-02-08ath: fix world regulatory domain fix-up so that all regulatory rules are ↵nbd
processed r24503 (trunk) and r24505 (backfire) revised the regulatory rules used for the ath drivers' world regulatory domains in the 5GHz band by opening up channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 to being used without the *_PASSIVE_SCAN and *_NO_IBSS flags set. This was done by breaking ATH9K_5GHZ_5150_5350 into two REG_RULES. The various struct ieee80211_regdomains that reference these rules in their reg_rules fields need to have their n_reg_rules fields updated accordingly. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@25418 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73

2011-01-26mac80211: Improve ath5k/ar71xx PCI bug WARnbd
It has been confirmed by Atheros that this PCI bug affects the RX side only, so we can keep the 128B DMA size for TX. With this change we can double the thruput of ath5k from 15Mps to 30Mbps. We have been using this patch since more than 6 month in a production environment without problems and a significant performance improvement. It has also been said to fix HW encryption: http://www.mail-archive.com/ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org/msg04311.html Patch from: kentarou matsuyama <matsuyama@thinktube.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@25104 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73
