Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare
for later submission of code to implement a user-space daemon that
supplies 802.11 regulatory information.
The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be
applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit
is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable
to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and
802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single
bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should
be obeyed.
The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of
struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used.

My router blew up earlier, but exhibited some interesting behaviour during
its dying moments. It was broadcasting beacons but wouldn't respond to
any authentication requests.
I noticed that softmac wasn't playing nice with this, as I couldn't make it try
to connect to other networks after it had timed out authenticating to my ill
router.
To resolve this, I modified the softmac event/notify API to pass the event
code to the callback, so that callbacks being notified from
IEEE80211SOFTMAC_EVENT_ANY masks can make some judgement. In this case, the
ieee80211softmac_assoc callback needs to make a decision based upon whether
the association passed or failed.

This patch finishes of the partially-complete shared key authentication
implementation in softmac.
The complication here is that we need to encrypt a management frame during
the authentication process. I don't think there are any other scenarios where
this would have to happen.
To get around this without causing too many headaches, we decided to just use
software encryption for this frame. The softmac config option now selects
IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP so that we can ensure this available. This also involved
a modification to some otherwise unused ieee80211 API.

When performing bound checks during the parameter processing, we
want to use the real chunk and paramter lengths for bounds instead
of the rounded ones. This prevents us from potentially walking of
the end if the chunk length was miscalculated. We still use rounded
lengths when advancing the pointer. This was found during a
conformance test that changed the chunk length without modifying
parameters.

The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.
Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.
To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing
ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable
Looking at the ARP tables by using
ip neigh show
will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.
This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().
Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.
[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that
we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

This patch fixes a deadlock situation in the receive path by allowing
temporary spillover of the receive buffer.
- If the chunk we receive has a tsn that immediately follows the ctsn,
accept it even if we run out of receive buffer space and renege data with
higher TSNs.
- Once we accept one chunk in a packet, accept all the remaining chunks
even if we run out of receive buffer space.

This patch is the first step towards rate control inside softmac.
The txrates substructure has been extended to provide
different fields for different types of packets (management/data,
unicast/multicast). These fields are updated on association to values
compatible with the access point we are associating to.
Drivers can then use the new ieee80211softmac_suggest_txrate() function
call when deciding which rate to transmit each frame at. This is
immensely useful for ZD1211, and bcm can use it too.
The user can still specify a rate through iwconfig, which is matched
for all transmissions (assuming the rate they have specified is in
the rate set required by the AP).
At a later date, we can incorporate automatic rate management into
the ieee80211softmac_recalc_txrates() function.
This patch also removes the mcast_fallback field. Sam Leffler pointed
out that this field is meaningless, because no driver will ever be
retransmitting mcast frames (they are not acked).
