2008-11-25cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutionsLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and* they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure, providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().

2008-11-25cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d supportLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment (indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE. To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed on the same country. A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two different countries. In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another intersection will be performed. CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA present. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2008-11-25cfg80211: call_crda() won't tell us if CRDA was presentLuis R. Rodriguez
kobject_uevent_env() can return an error but it just tells us if the uvent was built/sent or not, it doesn't tell us anything about what happened in userspace, whether the udev rule was present nor does it tell us if CRDA was present or not. So remove the informative complaint about it assuming it will tell us such things. Note that you can determine if CRDA is present after loading cfg80211 by using: is_old_static_regdom(cfg80211_regdomain) but this doesn't account for possible user install after initial boot, and also for when the user uses the static EU regulatory domain.

2008-11-25cfg80211: expect different rd in cfg80211 when intersectingLuis R. Rodriguez
When intersecting it is possible that set_regdom() was called with a regulatory domain which we'll only use as an aid to build a final regulatory domain. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2008-11-25cfg80211: separate intersection section in __set_regdom()Luis R. Rodriguez
So far the __set_regdom() code is pretty generic as the intersection case is fairly straight forward; this will however change when 802.11d support is added so lets separate intersection code for now in preparation for 802.11d support. This patch only has slight functional changes. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-11-25cfg80211: remove switch from __regulatory_hint()Luis R. Rodriguez
We have complete control over REGDOM_SET_BY_* enum passed down to __regulatory_hint() as such there is no need to account for unexpected REGDOM_SET_BY_*'s, lets just remove the switch statement as this code does not change and won't change even when we add 802.11d support.

2008-11-10cfg80211: Add kdoc for struct regulatory_requestLuis R. Rodriguez
As regulatory_request gets bigger there will be more questions of what things means, so clarify documenation for it and keep track of the special alpha2 codes we use internally and on the userspace regulatory agents.

2008-11-10cfg80211: Add regulatory domain intersection capabilityLuis R. Rodriguez
There are certain scenerios where we require intersecting two regulatory domains. This adds intersection support. When we enable 802.11d support we will use this to intersect the regulatory domain from the AP's country IE and what our regulatory agent believes is correct for a country. This patch enables intersection for now in the case where the last regdomain was set by a country IE which was parsed and the user then wants to set the regulatory domain. Since we don't support country IE parsing yet this code path will not be hit, however this allows us to pave the way for 11d support. Intersection code has been tested in userspace with CRDA.

2008-10-31wireless: clean up regulatory ignore_request functionJohannes Berg
This function has a few WARNs that may eventually trigger when an AP sends rogue beacons, those must be removed. Some of the comments in the function are also inappropriate as this function is concerned with the global hint, not a per- wiphy thing (which a multidomain flag on a wiphy would imply). I'm convinced that we don't need to do anything to implement multi-domain capability as 802.11-2007 specifies it because it makes only two things mandatory: * starting of BSS/IBSS must have country information (this can easily be done with a mac80211 patch) * a STA must adopt the country information (we already have the framework for this) But we don't have anything implemented anyway for now.

2008-10-31wireless: remove struct regdom hintingJohannes Berg
The code needs to be split out and cleaned up, so as a first step remove the capability, to add it back in a subsequent patch as a separate function. Also remove the publically facing return value of the function and the wiphy argument. A number of internal functions go from being generic helpers to just being used for alpha2 setting.

2008-10-31wireless: remove cfg80211_reg_mutexJohannes Berg
This mutex is wrong, we use cfg80211_drv_mutex (which should possibly be renamed to just cfg80211_mutex) everywhere except in one place, fix that and get rid of the extra mutex.

2008-09-24cfg80211: fix regulatory code constJohannes Berg

2008-09-15cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructureLuis R. Rodriguez
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution, and to replace the initial centralized code we have where: * only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU * regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter * all rules were built statically in the kernel We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules without updating the kernel. Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to further help compliance. Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of this. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter, ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically (US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY. These old static definitions and the module parameter is being scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless. If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory domain for us. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
