This adds a fastpath for the common workloads to the MAC suspend flushing. In common workloads the FIFO flush will take between 100 and 200 microseconds. So we want to avoid calling msleep() in the common case, as it will waste over 800 microseconds + scheduler overhead. This fastpath will hit in workloads where only small chunks of data are transmitted (downloading a file) or when a TX rate bigger or equal to 24MBit/s is used when transmitting lots of stuff (iperf). So in the commonly used workloads it will basically always hit. In case the fastpath is not hit, there's no real performance or latency disadvantage from that. And yes, I measured this. So this is not one of these bad Programmer Likeliness Assumptions that are always wrong. ;) Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This adds PIO support back (D'oh!) for PCMCIA devices. This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work and we get reasonable performance out of it on a modern machine. On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX. So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that). The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100% CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt. PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with the braindead DMA mechanisms on PCMCIA sockets. Additionally, not all PCMCIA sockets do actually support DMA in 16bit mode (mine doesn't). Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Rename the DMA ring pointers to have more descriptive and standard names. Also remove the 6th unused TX ring. We can add it back later, if we need it. The unused TX-status rx-ring is also removed, as that's only used by legacy devices not supported by this driver anyway. This is no functional change, except less memory allocation for the removed rings. Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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.

This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded. This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot. Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git). This helps users to select the right firmware for their device. This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string. While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which people _should_ use.

This zeros out all microcode related memory before loading the microcode. This also fixes initialization of the MAC control register. The _only_ place where we overwrite the contents of the MAC control register is at the beginning of b43_chip_init(). All other places must do read() -> mask/set -> write() to not overwrite existing bits. This also adds a longer delay for waiting for the microcode to initialize itself. It seems that the current timeout is sufficient on all available devices, but there's no real reason why we shouldn't wait for up to one second. Slow embedded devices might exist. Better safe than sorry. Signed-off-by: NMichael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This patch adds support for new firmware. Old firmware is still supported until July 2008. To get new firmware, go to ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/ and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet. That will be fixed later. You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area.
