2009-04-22atheros: introduce ath module containing common ath5k/ath9k/ar9170 codeBob Copeland1-533/+0
This change creates a new module, ath.ko, which includes code that can be shared between ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. For now, extract most of the ath9k regulatory code so it can also be used in ath5k.

2009-04-22ath9k: pass regd structure directly to regulatory functionsBob Copeland1-57/+61
All regulatory information is encapsulated by the ath9k_regulatory struct, so we can now change all the callers to take that directly instead of struct ath_hw. This in turn will enable us to move the regulatory functions to common code also used by ath5k, since both can use this regulatory struct.

2009-04-22ath9k: separate ath9k specific code from ath9k_regd_get_ctl()Bob Copeland1-13/+23
Until ath5k and ath9k share common channel structures, they will have to implement their own get_ctl() function. Split out the portion that only relies on the current band and reg domain so that it can be common code. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Acked-by: Luis R.

2009-03-16cfg80211: move enum reg_set_by to nl80211.hLuis R. Rodriguez1-14/+17
We do this so we can later inform userspace who set the regulatory domain and provide details of the request. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-03-16cfg80211: remove REGDOM_SET_BY_INITLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+0
This is not used as we can always just assume the first regulatory domain set will _always_ be a static regulatory domain. REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE will be the first request from cfg80211 for a regdomain and that then populates the first regulatory request. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-03-05ath9k: Add data structure for supporting virtual radio/wiphy operationJouni Malinen1-2/+4
This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces on top of each virtual radio). The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary (virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure. Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-02-09ath9k: remove passive scan on 5 GHz if country IE knows betterLuis R. Rodriguez1-4/+12
If we have new found information about our location and the current country regulatory domain does not have passive scan flag requirements we should be able to actively scan now on those channels. Since AP functionality is not allowed where passive scan flags are set this means if you have a world regulatory domain and you get a country IE that allows that channel (with active scan) then we lift the passive-scan requirement so you can then use AP mode.

2009-01-29ath9k: simplify regulatory codeLuis R. Rodriguez1-860/+328
Now that cfg80211 has its own regulatory infrastructure we can condense ath9k's regulatory code considerably. We only keep data we need to provide our own regulatory_hint(), reg_notifier() and information necessary for calibration. Atheros hardware supports 12 world regulatory domains, since these are custom we apply them through the the new wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Although we have 12 we can consolidate these into 5 structures based on frequency and apply a different set of flags that differentiate them on a case by case basis through the reg_notifier(). If CRDA is not found our own custom world regulatory domain is applied, this is identical to cfg80211's except we enable passive scan on most frequencies. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
