Currently beacon loss detection triggers after a scan. A probe request
is sent and a message like this is printed to the log:
wlan0: beacon loss from AP 00:12:17:e7:98:de - sending probe request
But in fact there is no beacon loss, the beacons are just not received
because of the ongoing scan. Fix it by updating last_beacon after
the scan has finished.

Wext makes no assumptions about the contents of

Also, when wext configures a really _fixed_ power

This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
mac80211 counterparts.

Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.
We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
a follow-up patch.
This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being

When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:

2) wake the virtual queue
3) notify the driver
Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both

Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the

and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next

code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
to walk the skb->next list.

This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.
The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).
The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.
The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.
This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.
This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for

When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down

fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>.
This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend.
Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress.

If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct
probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface
enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-,
authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled
anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not
executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY).

Even after commit "mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down"
(e327b847 on Linus tree), userspace still isn't notified when interface
goes down. There isn't a problem with this commit, but because of other
code changes it doesn't work on kernels >= 2.6.28 (works if same/similar
change applied on 2.6.27 for example).
The issue is as follows: after commit "mac80211: restructure disassoc/deauth
flows" in 2.6.28, the call to ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate added by
commit e327b847 will not work: because we do sta_info_flush(local, sdata)
inside ieee80211_stop (iface.c), all stations in interface are cleared, so
when calling ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate->ieee80211_set_disassoc (mlme.c),
inside ieee80211_set_disassoc we have this in the beginning:
sta = sta_info_get(local, ifsta->bssid);
if (!sta) {
The !sta check triggers, thus the function returns early and
ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo(sdata, ifsta) later isn't called, so
wpa_supplicant/userspace isn't notified with SIOCGIWAP.
This commit moves deauthentication to before flushing STA info
(sta_info_flush), thus the above can't happen and userspace is really
notified when interface goes down.

If cfg80211 requests a scan it awaits either a return code != 0 from
the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of
a STA mac80211's scan function ever returns 0 and queues the scan request.
If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for
some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still
thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future
scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up.
If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If
ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset
and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests.
Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211
and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.
