The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.

In commit 39d5b2c8 "ath5k: update
AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to match masks" i introduced a regression on PHY
chips older than AR5K_SREV_PHY_5413, which caused signal values to be about
10dB less that before. This patch reverts the AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to
the same values which were effectively used before (without the bitmask
mistake). This brings signal levels back to normal on these PHY chips.

The rate table in the bcast LQ is computed only when the station is
allocated, and chooses the lowest rate for the band. Because of when this
occurs, this is the 2.4 GHz band and uses the 0x420a (CCK, 1 Mbps) rate. In 5 GHz
beaconing mode, this rate will prevent beacons from being sent and any other
packets from being received.

We can fix this by re-initializing the bcast station's LQ command when the

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

    iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000

    Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
    protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
    Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
    especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
    TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

    iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly

broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.

The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).

Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

The driver at76c50x-usb is unable to authenticate with an AP since
kernel 2.6.31 for the following reason: The join command of the firmware
needs to be sent with the right bssid before any transmission can start.
Before kernel 2.6.31 mac80211 informed its drivers about the changing
bssid early enough for at76c50x-usb but during the development of 2.6.31
mac80211's behaviour changed. Now a new bssid is set after the
association.

This patch changes the tx routine of the driver at76c50x-usb in such a

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.

This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.
