iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager
When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.
I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.
The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.

This
* makes the queue number passed to drivers a u16
(as it will be with skb_get_queue_mapping)
* removes the useless queue number defines
* splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
* removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters
* removes some dead QoS code
* removes the beacon queue configuration for IBSS
so that the drivers now never get a queue number
bigger than (hw->queues + hw->ampdu_queues - 1)
for tx and only in the range 0..hw->queues-1 for
conf_tx.

The callback takes a ieee80211_tx_queue_stats with a contained
array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename
the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take
the array directly.

The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does
not provide all the information drivers might need to perform
hardware encryption.
This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the
key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key.
By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
about a particular key.
Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from
the ieee80211_key_conf structure.
v2: Removed bogus u16 cast
v3: Add warning about ieee80211_tx_control pointers

direct_mask will be set when we are not associated and requesting a
direct scan. The second debug print will be confusing as priv->essid
is not set at that time and it will thus print "<hidden>" while it is
known to which AP a direct scan is requested - as previous debug message
also indicates.
Now make all debugging consistent.

Commit b716bb91 ("iwlwifi: Cancel scanning upon association") moved the
test of priv->vif in iwl{3945,4964}_mac_config_interface() outside of
where priv->mutex is held, but still tries to do mutex_unlock() on
return. This is clearly wrong and triggers a nasty lockdep warning when
this codepath is triggered. Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock().

When doing firmware-assisted scanning, iwlwifi drivers do not
honour the regulatory control code that might disable channels
that are enabled in the EEPROM, for example when the user is
visiting another country and adjusted the regulatory domain
accordingly. This patch fixes that.

Having rate registration during module load enables the use of
error checking as well as reliable registration/unregistration
pairing. Previously this was not possible as rate registration
was done during _probe where _probe could be run for more than
one device on the system.

This patch add LEDS support to 3965 and 4965 drivers. It is based on
led trigger and class. For our drivers we needed to avoid two things.
1- We receive led trigger on/off on each Rx\Tx frame. In our driver
we can not call led command like that. In this driver once driver
receive a start of traffic it call the led command to start blinking
then we count all bytes of Tx and Rx frame, after two second we count the
blink rate of last two second then id blink rate changed we call the led
commands
2- Since we can call led command very often, we make sure we call the
led command after we receive the statistics notification so
we don't need to wake up the ucode id it is in sleep state.
This patch was tested with 4965 and 3945.

The iwlxxxx_pci_remove functions are not needed when drivers are not
compiled as modules - they can thus be discarded at kernel link time.
This is already captured by having them as __devexit_p in the pci_driver
struct - these are supposed to be pointers to __devexit functions, but was not.
This is now fixed.
This problem was reported by Toralf Forster when testing the compilation of
2.6.25-rc6.

This patch fixes a synchronization problem on the 4965 and 3945 with the
mac start callback routine. The problem is that this function exits BEFORE the
'xxx_alive_start' has completed. This can lead to a problem if a
subsequent MAC callback attempts to issue a firmware command.
