We were not differentiating quality between legacy and HT
configurations. We change this to consider the differences.

New theory for reporting quality:

At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7  reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.

MCS 7  is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.

All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.

How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.

A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
you can refer to the wireless wiki:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n

This should fix this bug report:

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp %
beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in
us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work
around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a
Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the
expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon
frame).

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to
wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been
completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have

We do not need to do this in ath_isr() and it looks like the modified
version ends up being more stable as far as being able receive beacon

AWAKE and NETWORK SLEEP states when processing some unrelated
interrupts.

The previous implementation was moving back to NETWORK SLEEP state
immediately after receiving a Beacon frame. This means that we are
unlikely to receive all the buffered broadcast/multicast frames that
would be sent after DTIM Beacon frames. Fix this by parsing the Beacon
frame and remaining awake, if needed, to receive the buffered
broadcast/multicast frames. The last buffered frame will trigger the
move back into NETWORK SLEEP state.

If the last broadcast/multicast frame is not received properly (or if
the AP fails to send it), the next Beacon frame will work as a backup
trigger for returning into NETWORK SLEEP.

A new debug type, PS (debug=0x800 module parameter), is added to make
it easier to debug potential power save issues in the
future. Currently, this is only used for the Beacon frame and buffered
broadcast/multicast receiving.

This makes use of the local fc variable in bit more places and uses a

This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple
virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the
same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may
operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support
is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not
suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the
virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to
handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces
on top of each virtual radio).

The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data
structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among
virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The
primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary
(virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure.

Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch.
