| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a faulty bound check which caused a crash when too many virtual interface were brought up.

* carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter2010-10-051-2/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* carl9170: fix WARN_ON triggered by Broadcom HT STAsChristian Lamparter2010-09-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Broadcom's Windows driver for the 4313 advertises an ampdu density of 7 => 16 us. The AR9170 MAC on the other hand only supports densities up to 8 us. This patch removes the noisy WARN_ON, because there is nothing we can do about it. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* carl9170: fix tx_ampdu_upload counterChristian Lamparter2010-09-281-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | tx_ampdu_upload was not decreased when an a-MPDU frame had to be kicked out from the tx_pending queues. This broke ampdu aggregation, because the scheduler waits until tx_ampdu_upload drops to zero, before making the next aggregate.

* carl9170: remove non-standard ba session teardownChristian Lamparter2010-09-281-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 802.11n-2009 demands in 11.2.1: " When a STA enters normal (non-APSD) PS mode, any downlink Block ACK agreement without an associated schedule is suspended for the duration of this PS mode." The operative word is "suspended" and not terminated. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
