* Add HTINFO field decoding to ieee80211_ies_expand() - it's likely not 100% correct as it's not looking at the draft 11n HTINFO location, but I don't think anyone will care. * When doing an IBSS join make sure the 11n channel configuration is used - otherwise the 11a/11bg channel will be used and there won't be any chance for an upgrade to 11n. * When creating an IBSS network, ensure the channel is updated to an 11n channel so other 11n nodes can see it and speak to it with MCS rates. * Add a bit of code that's disabled for now which handles the HT field updating. This won't work out very well with lots of adhoc nodes as we'd end up ping-ponging between the HT configuration for each node. Instead, we should likely only pay attention to the "master" node we initially associated against and then ensure we propagate that information forward in our subsequent beacons. However, due to the nature of IBSS (ie, there's no specific "master" node in the specification) it's unclear which node we should lift the HT parameters from. So for now this assumes the HT parameters are squirreled away in the initial beacon/probe response. So there's some trickiness here. With ap/sta pairing, the probe response just populates a legacy node and the association request/response is what is used for negotiation 11n-ness (and upgrading things as needed.) With ibss networks, the pairing is done with probe request/response, with discovery being done by creating nodes when new beacons in the IBSS / BSSID are heard. There's no assoc request/response frames going on. So the trick here has been to figure out where to upgrade things. I don't like how I just taught ieee80211_sta_join() to "speak" HT - I'd rather there be an upgrade path when an IBSS node joins and there are HT parameters present. Once I've done that, I'll kill this HT special casing that's going on in ieee80211_sta_join(). Tested: * AR9280, AR5416, AR5212 - basic iperf and ping interoperability tests whilst in a non-encrypted adhoc network. TODO: * Fix up the HT upgrade path for IBSS nodes rather than adding code in ieee80211_sta_join(), then remove my code from there. * When associating, there's a concept of a "master" node in the IBSS which is the node you first joined the network through. It's possible the correct thing to do is to listen to HT updates and configure WME parameters from that node. However, once that node goes away, which node(s) should be listened to for configuration changes? For things like HT channel width, it's likely going to be ok to just associate as HT40 and then use the per-neighbor rate control and HTINFO/HTCAP fields to figure out which rates and configuration to speak. Ie, for a 20MHz 11n node, just speak 20MHz rates to it. It shouldn't "change", like what goes on in AP/STA configurations. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
