2006-07-29ALIGNED_POINTER is always defined.Miod Vallat
2006-06-27add the net80211 hostap options "nwflag hidenwid" for hidden SSID modeReyk Floeter
and "nwflag nobridge" to prevent inter-station communications. "hidenwid" will also work with wi(4) to replace the old -E 3 option of wicontrol. ok damien@ jmc@
2006-06-24ieee80211_cfgget() and ieee80211_cfgset() are dead; ok jsgTheo de Raadt
2006-06-23add an optional max_rssi attribute to the ieee80211com structure andReyk Floeter
allow to export the RSSI Max value with ioctls and by radiotap headers. ok damien@ jsg@ description: we currently use "dB" as an indication for the signal strength in ifconfig and in the radiotap headers. it means "decibel difference from an arbitrary, fixed reference". this is quite confusing, because different chipsets have different references for the dB/rssi values. we can use the plain RSSI which is described in IEEE 802.11: "The receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is an optional parameter that has a value of 0 through RSSI Max.". all wireless chipsets have something like a RSSI (normally as a Rx descriptor field), but the value for RSSI Max is chipset-specific. if we know the RSSI Max, we can calculate a percentage which is much easier to understand for the user. we even don't have to use the absolute RSSI Max, we can use an average RSSI Max, figured out by monitoring and tuning the RSSI Max of the drivers. if the user gets a signal of 110%, it would mean "better than the average Max signal". there's no need to do any RSSI calculations in the kernel, it just passes the the relative rssi and max_rssi values to userspace. this is done in the ieee80211_nodereq ioctl structure and possible with a new radiotap header. the radiotap RSSI header allows to get a flexible but common signal indicator instead of the complex and unrelated dB/dBm signal fields. it must include two 8bit values current rssi and RSSI max.
2006-06-19unbreak the code if compiled with IEEE80211_DEBUG by using the rightReyk Floeter
node attribute. ok damien@, figured out by claudio@

2006-06-18Improve 802.11b/g interoperability and move toward better complianceDamien Bergamini
with IEEE Std 802.11g-2003 standard: - add ERP Information Element in probe responses and beacons - keep track of the number of associated non-ERP STAs and non-short slot time capable STAs in the BSS - enable use of RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection when required by the BSS - add a ic_updateslot() callback to notify drivers of slot time changes - cleanup computation of mgmt frames sizes in ieee80211_output.c - nuke unnecessary <sys/cdefs.h> includes - remove an unused macro (LOGICALLY_EQUAL) while i'm here From {free,net}bsd, with additional fixes. ok brad@, reyk@

2006-02-19Fix a comment in ieee80211_next_scan().Damien Bergamini
2006-01-11Disable shared key mode until we have a way for the user to specifyTodd C. Miller
that they explicitly want it. What we have currently doesn't seem to work anyway. Add support for specifying a status type when sending managemnent frames; adapted from FreeBSD. OK jsg@

2005-12-09/* fall thru... */ -> /* FALLTHROUGH */Jonathan Gray
2005-11-03re-implement the bpf "filter drop" option that it actually works. theReyk Floeter
bpf FILDROP interface exists for about one year but the required interface to the drivers was missing - so it was useless. this new approach based on a design by henning@ uses a new mbuf flag to mark filtered packets and to drop them in the generic network stack input routines (like ether_input). for example; after some additional testing, this could be used by dhclient to filter everything except DHCP packets (track tech@ for a corresponding dhclient diff). the "filter dropped" packets won't reach the network stack. so it's probably some kind of a very basic application layer packet filter ;). ok canacar@, discussed with henning@ and others
2005-10-09if the wireless hostap interface belongs to a bridge, learn the node'sReyk Floeter
address dynamically on this interface after successful association. this could speed wireless roaming to openbsd accesspoints. ok jason@, jsg@ can't see anything obectionable
2005-10-07minor knfReyk Floeter
2005-09-13replace the node hash table with a red-black tree. this fixes someReyk Floeter
bugs in the node table (like duplicate nodes in hostap mode), we get rid of possible hash collisions, and it simplifies the code. tested by many, ok damien@, jsg@
