5945b5f5ab Rename definition of IEEE80211_FC1_WEP to IEEE80211_FC1_PROTECTED.
The origin of WEP comes from IEEE Std 802.11-1997 where it defines
whether the frame body of MAC frame has been encrypted using WEP
algorithm or not.
IEEE Std. 802.11-2007 changes WEP to Protected Frame, indicates
whether the frame is protected by a cryptographic encapsulation
algorithm.

f8bf74f232 Implement basic 802.11n awareness in the PHY and AMRR rate control code.
* Add 802.11n 2ghz and 5ghz tables, including legacy rates and up to
  MCS23 rates (3x3.)

* Populate the rate code -> rate index lookup table with MCS _and_
  normal rates, but _not_ the basic rate flag.  Since the basic rate flag
  is the same as the MCS flag, we can only use one.

* Introduce some accessor inlines that do PLCP and rate table lookup/access
  and enforce that it doesn't set the basic rate bit.  They're not
  designed for MCS rates, so it will panic.

* Start converting drivers that use the rate table stuff to use the
  accessor inlines and strip the basic flag.

* Teach AMRR about basic 11n - it's still as crap for MCS as it is
  being used by iwn, so it's not a step _backwardS_.

* Convert iwn over to accept 11n MCS rates rather than 'translate' legacy
  to MCS rates.  It doesn't use a lookup table any longer; instead it's a
  function which takes the current node (for HT parameters) and the
  rate code, and returns the hardware PLCP code to use.

Tested:

* ath - it's a no-op, and it works that way
* iwn - both 11n and non-11n

This fixes hostap mode for at least ral(4) and run(4), because there is

a7c6aabdc3 Instead of using the AMRR ratectl algo as default for drivers which have
the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag set, default to NONE for all drivers. Only if
a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.

After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

b6108616ac net80211 rate control framework (net80211 ratectl).
This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).

[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

59aa14a91d 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.

339ccfb391 Hoist 802.11 encapsulation up into net80211:
o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
  are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
  header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
  IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
  - aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
    packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
    are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
    (net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
  - drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
    on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
    and/or the contents of the staging queue)
  - remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
  - add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
    per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
  so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS

With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

o add background scanning in station mode (no support for adhoc/ibss

o significantly speedup sta mode scanning with a variety of techniques

  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 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

ff046a6c6b add missed calls to bpf_peers_present 2006-06-02 23:14:40 +00:00
Christian S.J. Peron
16d878cc99 Fix the following bpf(4) race condition which can result in a panic:
(1) bpf peer attaches to interface netif0
	(2) Packet is received by netif0
	(3) ifp->if_bpf pointer is checked and handed off to bpf
	(4) bpf peer detaches from netif0 resulting in ifp->if_bpf being
	    initialized to NULL.
	(5) ifp->if_bpf is dereferenced by bpf machinery
	(6) Kaboom

This race condition likely explains the various different kernel panics
reported around sending SIGINT to tcpdump or dhclient processes. But really
this race can result in kernel panics anywhere you have frequent bpf attach
and detach operations with high packet per second load.

Summary of changes:

- Remove the bpf interface's "driverp" member
- When we attach bpf interfaces, we now set the ifp->if_bpf member to the
  bpf interface structure. Once this is done, ifp->if_bpf should never be
  NULL. [1]
- Introduce bpf_peers_present function, an inline operation which will do
  a lockless read bpf peer list associated with the interface. It should
  be noted that the bpf code will pickup the bpf_interface lock before adding
  or removing bpf peers. This should serialize the access to the bpf descriptor
  list, removing the race.
- Expose the bpf_if structure in bpf.h so that the bpf_peers_present function
  can use it. This also removes the struct bpf_if; hack that was there.
- Adjust all consumers of the raw if_bpf structure to use bpf_peers_present

Now what happens is:

	(1) Packet is received by netif0
	(2) Check to see if bpf descriptor list is empty
	(3) Pickup the bpf interface lock
	(4) Hand packet off to process

From the attach/detach side:

	(1) Pickup the bpf interface lock
	(2) Add/remove from bpf descriptor list

Now that we are storing the bpf interface structure with the ifnet, there is
is no need to walk the bpf interface list to locate the correct bpf interface.
We now simply look up the interface, and initialize the pointer. This has a
nice side effect of changing a bpf interface attach operation from O(N) (where
N is the number of bpf interfaces), to O(1).

[1] From now on, we can no longer check ifp->if_bpf to tell us whether or
    not we have any bpf peers that might be interested in receiving packets.
