/*
* 802.11 scanning support.
*
* Scanning is the procedure by which a station locates a bss to join
* (infrastructure/ibss mode), or a channel to use (when operating as
* an ap or ibss master). Scans are either "active" or "passive". An
* active scan causes one or more probe request frames to be sent on
* visiting each channel. A passive request causes each channel in the
* scan set to be visited but no frames to be transmitted; the station
* only listens for traffic. Note that active scanning may still need
* to listen for traffic before sending probe request frames depending
* on regulatory constraints; the 802.11 layer handles this by generating
* a callback when scanning on a ``passive channel'' when the
* IEEE80211_FEXT_PROBECHAN flag is set.
*
2009-03-30 21:46:50 +00:00
* A scan operation involves constructing a set of channels to inspect
* (the scan set), visiting each channel and collecting information
* (e.g. what bss are present), and then analyzing the results to make
* decisions like which bss to join. This process needs to be as fast
* as possible so we do things like intelligently construct scan sets
* and dwell on a channel only as long as necessary. The scan code also
* maintains a cache of recent scan results and uses it to bypass scanning
* whenever possible. The scan cache is also used to enable roaming
* between access points when operating in infrastructure mode.
*
* Scanning is handled with pluggable modules that implement "policy"
* per-operating mode. The core scanning support provides an
* instrastructure to support these modules and exports a common api
* to the rest of the 802.11 layer. Policy modules decide what
* channels to visit, what state to record to make decisions (e.g. ap
* mode scanning for auto channel selection keeps significantly less
* state than sta mode scanning for an ap to associate to), and selects
* the final station/channel to return as the result of a scan.
*
* Scanning is done synchronously when initially bringing a vap to an
* operational state and optionally in the background to maintain the
* scan cache for doing roaming and rogue ap monitoring. Scanning is
* not tied to the 802.11 state machine that governs vaps though there
* is linkage to the IEEE80211_SCAN state. Only one vap at a time may
* be scanning; this scheduling policy is handled in ieee80211_new_state
* and is invisible to the scanning code.

Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft standard. This standard is expected to become final next year. This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation, routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network. HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented. Authentication and encryption are not implemented. There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ... wlanmode mesh). A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98. Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl. More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported. Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to Sam Leffler for his support. Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

Update 802.11 wireless support: o major overhaul of the way channels are handled: channels are now fully enumerated and uniquely identify the operating characteristics; these changes are visible to user applications which require changes o make scanning support independent of the state machine to enable background scanning and roaming o move scanning support into loadable modules based on the operating mode to enable different policies and reduce the memory footprint on systems w/ constrained resources o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss mode yet) o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques o add roaming support when background scanning is supported; for now we use a simple algorithm to trigger a roam: we threshold the rssi and tx rate, if either drops too low we try to roam to a new ap o add tx fragmentation support o add first cut at 802.11n support: this code works with forthcoming drivers but is incomplete; it's included now to establish a baseline for other drivers to be developed and for user applications o adjust max_linkhdr et. al. to reflect 802.11 requirements; this eliminates prepending mbufs for traffic generated locally o add support for Atheros protocol extensions; mainly the fast frames encapsulation (note this can be used with any card that can tx+rx large frames correctly) o add sta support for ap's that beacon both WPA1+2 support o change all data types from bsd-style to posix-style o propagate noise floor data from drivers to net80211 and on to user apps o correct various issues in the sta mode state machine related to handling authentication and association failures o enable the addition of sta mode power save support for drivers that need net80211 support (not in this commit) o remove old WI compatibility ioctls (wicontrol is officially dead) o change the data structures returned for get sta info and get scan results so future additions will not break user apps o fixed tx rate is now maintained internally as an ieee rate and not an index into the rate set; this needs to be extended to deal with multi-mode operation o add extended channel specifications to radiotap to enable 11n sniffing Drivers: o ath: add support for bg scanning, tx fragmentation, fast frames, dynamic turbo (lightly tested), 11n (sniffing only and needs new hal) o awi: compile tested only o ndis: lightly tested o ipw: lightly tested o iwi: add support for bg scanning (well tested but may have some rough edges) o ral, ural, rum: add suppoort for bg scanning, calibrate rssi data o wi: lightly tested This work is based on contributions by Atheros, kmacy, sephe, thompsa, mlaier, kevlo, and others.
