      cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces · ad4bb6f8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
      (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
      doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
      networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
      need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
      help here. The wireless address format used for these
      links has only space for three addresses, the
       * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
       * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
         the case of managed mode
       * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
         network segment
      
      In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
      must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
      
      To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
      wireless interface to a bridge.
      
      Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
      and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
      it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
      up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

      cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode · 9bc383de
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      It's very likely that not many devices will support
      four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
      capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
      and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
      Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
      and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
      improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
      4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
      it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
      station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

      mac80211: implement support for 4-address frames for AP and client mode · f14543ee
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
      Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
      to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
      AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
      destination MAC addresses.
      With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
      only 4-address frames for data traffic.
      On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
      clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
      in 4-address mode.
      Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
      will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
      regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
      The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
      easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
      addresses on any side.

      cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change · 3d54d255
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When the interface type changes while connected, and the
      driver does not require the interface to be down for a
      type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
      results unless the driver takes special care, which it
      shouldn't have to.
      
      To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
      changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
      the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
      avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
      but only processed after the type has already changed,
      which would lead to missing events and warnings.
      
      A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
      or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
      but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
      disconnect, this is not a problem.

      mac80211: Use 3-address format for mesh broadcast frames. · 3c5772a5
      Javier Cardona 提交于
      The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame
      format to use 3-address.  This was done to avoid interactions with widely
      deployed lazy-WDS access points.
      
      This patch changes the format of group addressed frames, both mesh-originated
      and proxied, to use the data format defined in draft D2.08 and forward.  The
      address fields used for group addressed frames is:
      
      In 802.11 header
       ToDS:0  FromDS:1
       addr1: DA  (broadcast/multicast address)
       addr2: TA
       addr3: Mesh SA
      
      In address extension header:
       addr4: SA  (only present if frame was proxied)
      
      Note that this change breaks backward compatibility with earlier mesh stack
      versions.

      cfg80211: rework key operation · fffd0934
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
      allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
      after the connection has been established (in managed
      mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
      (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.
      
      In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
      is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
      To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
      CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
      SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
      the connection has been established.
      
      Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
      mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
      it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
      to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
      key authentication.

      cfg80211: implement wext key handling · 08645126

      Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
      so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
      compatibility.
      
      Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
      IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
      no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
      for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
      algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
      setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
      and "Accept non-encoded packets".

      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and
      net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove
      net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h)
      and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the
      definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to
      a new header net/regulatory.h.
      
      The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections.
      
      There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling
      and some very minor documentation fixes.
      
      I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a
      copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that
      is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly
      in a file that only had my copyright line.

      When the driver registers a IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ band,
      it can either be 802.11b or 802.11g. But when 802.11b rates
      are registered "want" will be 3 (since 4 rates are being registered,
      and each of those 4 rates will decrease "want").
      Since this is a correct situation, there is no need to trigger
      a WARN_ON() for this.

      cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion · 8318d78a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.
