Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.

In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.

The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).

Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.

mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.

One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.

Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):

 * different HT/no-HT modes

   currently you could start an HT AP and then
   connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
   which would configure the hardware for no HT;
   that can be fixed fairly easily

 * CSA

   An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
   might indicate switching channels, and in that
   case we would follow it, regardless of how many
   other interfaces are operating; this requires
   more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.

Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
are fixed.

This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and
RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is
very useful for debugging session initiation and
teardown problems since with this you don't have
to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and
thus have less data to analyse.

Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim

Currently whenever rts thresold is set, every packet will use RTS
protection no matter its size exceeds the threshold or not. This is
due to a bug in the rts threshold check.
	if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) {
		txrc.rts = rts = true;
	}
Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold),
and the variable len is assigned as:
	len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN,
			 tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold);
However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is
0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.

The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a
frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for
hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed,
as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is
not known before the frame has actually been transmitted.

This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other
instances of code also rely on this information.

Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look
for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for
sta->last_tx_rate.

when scanning while associated.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.

The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.

It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.

I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.

Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been
notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This
caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified
when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is
in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the
"oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually
the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change
(BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that
this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense.

Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled
and thus cause driver to be notified correctly.

This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel.
Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any
data, not even ping.

In a scenario, where a cfg80211 driver (station mode) does not send assoc request
and assoc response IEs in cfg80211_connect_result after a successful association
to an AP, cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE to the user space
application with NULL data. This can cause an issue at the event recipient.

An example of this is when cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE
events with NULL event body to wpa_supplicant. The wpa_supplicant overwrites
the assoc request and assoc response IEs for this station with NULL data.
If the association is WPA/WPA2, the wpa_supplicant is not able to generate
EAPOL handshake messages, since the IEs are NULL.

With the patch, req_ie and resp_ie will be NULL by avoiding the
assignment if the driver has not sent the IEs to cfg80211. The event sending
code sends the events only if resp_ie and req_ie are not NULL. This
will ensure that the events are not sent with NULL event body.
