      nl80211: Move peer link state definition to nl80211 · 57cf8043
      Javier Cardona 提交于
      These definitions need to be exposed now that we can set the peer link
      states via NL80211_ATTR_STA_PLINK_STATE.  They were already being
      (opaquely) reported by NL80211_STA_INFO_PLINK_STATE.

      cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations · 7527a782
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
      This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
      that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
      implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
      the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
      drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
      
      When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
      be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
      this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
      the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
      
      Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
      fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
      types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
      AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

      nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/Disassoc · cf4e594e
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
      Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
      management frame protection being in use. This notification is
      needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
      SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
      between an AP and STA.
      
      This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
      (IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
      Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
      station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
      Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
      have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).
      IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism.

      cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configuration · afe0cbf8
      Bruno Randolf 提交于
      Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211.
      
      The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use.
      This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not
      be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups.
      
      Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas
      for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit
      representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an
      antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX
      or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use
      this antenna.
      
      Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration
      interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used
      for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware
      specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas
      are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on
      that.
      
      802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are
      present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the
      entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming,
      Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after
      applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas
      attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on
      the antenna information.
      
      Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and
      to enable or disable antenna diversity.
      
      While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed
      antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare,
      but useful configurations as follows:
      
      1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to
      have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory
      constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals
      ("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot
      outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier
      on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit
      noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel.
      (This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2).
      
      2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send
      on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX
      antenna, while staying within the legal limits.
      (This would be: tx 0 rx 3).
      
      3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and
      development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are
      available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible.
