Eric Sandeen 9e7d1a445e iwlwifi: correct math in elapsed_jiffies
w/o the first change: if end == start you get MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET which
isn't what you want...

For the latter I think to be technically correct you need the +1 to
account for the jiffy between MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET and 0

(hmm w/ the 2nd change the first isn't strictly needed... ah well)

Gregory Greenman 76f3915b4c iwlwifi: Fix uCode error on association
The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is
received. But, when it is set, LQ cmd is still not sent to the uCode, it is
done from bg_post_assoc, which is called through a workqueue.

On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set,
but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and
the frame will not be dropped.  Thus, it will be sent through
which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

Reinette Chatre 849e0dcea6 iwlwifi: initialize geo/channel information during probe
The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read
during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This
helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface
is brought up.

Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos
with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call
their cleanup routines.

Fixes a few bugs:
- if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are
  issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information
  set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring
  interface to be brought up.
  This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552
- Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The
  value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is
  set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed.
- Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

Stefano Brivio e78c9d2857 b43legacy: fix MAC control and microcode init
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.

While at it, fix naming of MACCTL values.

This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

Bruno Randolf be9b72590c ath5k: debug level improvements
* use only one debug level for beacon debugging: unify ATH5K_DEBUG_BEACON and
ATH5K_DEBUG_BEACON_PROC.

* remove debug level ATH5K_DEBUG_FATAL. doesn't make sense as a debug level -
if it's fatal it should be logged as an error.

* fancier printing of debug levels. cat /debugfs/ath5k/phy0/debug.

* allow debug levels to be changed by echoing their name into
/debugfs/ath5k/phy0/debug. this will toggle the state, when it was off it will
be turned on and vice versa.

* use copy_from_user() when reading from the debug files. use unsigned int for
better optimization. reduce buffer sizes on stack.

Bruno Randolf 6d91e1d808 ath5k: configure backoff for IBSS beacon queue
in "11.1.2.2 Beacon generation in an IBSS" the IEEE802.11 standard says, each
STA should... "b) Calculate a random delay uniformly distributed in the range
between zero and twice aCWmin × aSlotTime,".

configure cwmin and cwmax of the beacon queue in IBSS mode according to this.
unfortunately beacon backoff does not work reliably yet, so i suspect we have a
problem somewhere else, since the same settings (and similar beacon timer
configuration) work for madwifi.

Bruno Randolf 036cd1ec03 ath5k: use SWBA to detect IBSS HW merges
use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon
time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every
received beacon with the same BSSID.

this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local
TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon
timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about
1 minute).

this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but
there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges.

variety of situations. most important is the possibility to call it with the
timestamp of a received beacon, when we detected that a HW merge has happened
and we need to reconfigure the beacon timers based on that.

we call this from the mac80211 callback reset_tsf now instead of beacon_update,
and there will be more use of it in the next patch.

Reinette Chatre e7a2827cbb iwlwifi: remove reference to non-existent documentation
The external iwlwifi driver comes with a README file that is
referenced by the Kconfig. This README is not present in the
driver included in the kernel. Remove references to this
documentation.

Tomas Winkler c33104f0a7 iwlwifi: 4965 unify rate scale variable names for station data
1, This patch renames iwl4965_rate_scale_priv to iwl4965_lq_sta.
   This type represents a station's link quality.
2. The names of the variables of this type were rs_priv, lq_data, lq, crl
   across the file. All are now unified under the name lq_sta.

Zhu Yi e655b9f03f iwlwifi: fix problem when rf_killswitch change during suspend/resume
After we delay device initialization until interface up, there are more
conditions for the hardware rf_kill switch states during suspend and
resume. For example, before suspend we can have interface up or down,
rf_kill enable or disable; before resume we can have rf_kill enable or
disable. So there are totally 2^3 = 8 conditions to handle. This patch
addressed this problem and makes sure every condition works correctly.

This patch also merges the device suspend and resume handlers with the
mac_start and mac_stop code since they are basically doing the same
thing.

Zhu Yi 5a66926aa9 iwlwifi: delay firmware loading from pci_probe to network interface open
This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:

1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
   network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
   impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
   handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
   interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
   image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
   is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
   is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
   times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.

2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
   buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
   used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
   power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
   and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
   interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
   space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
   contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
   close the wireless interface automatically.

This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.
