      p54: Fix for TX sequence number problem · eda0c003
      Larry Finger 提交于
      Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
      has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
      supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
      for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
      qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
      without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
      sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
      in the hardware state, not the vif state.

      mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units · 566bfe5a
      Bruno Randolf 提交于
      trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
      confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
      what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
      the wireless extensions.
      
      this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
      clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
      provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
      
      for signal:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
        IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      for noise we currently only have dBm:
      
        IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW
      
      if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
      to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
      to make sense of the signal values.
      
      i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
      but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
      doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
      the hardware flags of the driver.
